[OrRando] Jerseys

[Bert Lutz]

Good luck, Michael, capturing a common theme out of these emails...

I'm with keeping it simple.  I like the all black with white lettering.
"Oregon Randonneurs" in  white block letters embroidered front and back.
Maybe a small "2006" to capture the limited edition message.

XL Racer:  1 long sleeve; 1 short sleeve.

Bert

At first I thought no about black... until I saw someone wearing a black
wool jersey with white lettering. It looked "sharp". It's also the only
color consistent between racer & club cut. Michael knows I don't like bands
of white across my chest so I'm going with a solid racer l/s... though I'd
expect most others to be happy with club cut, as they don't care about the
chest band. I wouldn't mind the club cut if the band was the same color as
the jersey body.

Lettering...I'm guessing that having different lettering front and back is
extra. I don't care one way or another whether the jersey is limited
edition. I'd be happy with just "Oregon Randonneurs" front and back.  Boy,
you haven't mentioned block or script lettering. I'd go with Script
embroidery as I already own a block letter jersey... SIRs.

Susan.
