Speedcubing UK jackets?

No. Jackets are pointless since nobody wears jackets at comps.

Maybe hoodie, but shorts is my vote.


The vast majority of cubers wear t shirts while solving but nobody wants to be wearing the same one 2 days running.

Hoodies would be warm, jackets would be hot.

I foresee a table at Euros with a table surrounded by chairs with jackets on the back of them. What's the point in that?

I see it the other way around to be honest.
Thin jackets (like the Team USA ones) can be zipped and unzipped in case it gets too hot. Even with a thin hoodie if it gets slightly warm, the only relief is taking it off.
Shorts on the other hand could work. Although I highly doubt people would want to wear shorts at Winter competitions, and being in the UK the temperatures aren't the greatest.

I'd say either a thin jacket similar to Team USA or a cap or something. We've got enough cubing t-shirts already, and I for one would wear the jacket all the time inside and outside competitions.

What else really is there? T-Shirts are just a straight up no (way too many available already), Shorts are the only real trouser-type item we could wear and we can't wear them for half of the year, and hoodies can't be unzipped so you can cool down.

Plus, the Team USA jackets do look very nice and professional. I'd personally love the same design to be reused but with a UK flag cube (like the one in the UKCA logo) and "Team GB" or "Team UK" across the front of it with our names on the back below a small flag just like the Team USA ones.

Just my thoughts, other people may have different opinions but I believe I speak for many people when I say that the Team USA jackets are very appealing.

I would say Polo shirts, so that they would actually be worn at comps

As long as it isn't just a generic T-Shirt I would definitely buy something like that. I like the style of the Staff polo shirts at UKC13.

Would it be possible for them to be personalised?

You are basically copying our USA jackets and if there was a big interest in them, then they would have made them years ago. I agree thought that there should be something like pants, or a t-shirt for the UK thought! Just not Jackets. That is a USA thing.

So.. you've copyrighted the use of jackets?

I understand that you guys have your own thing and it is a good idea, that's why I and others would like the UK to have something similar. We aren't just robbing you of your "thing", we're appreciating it and considering making our own version of it.

You can't just stop other countries from making jackets for themselves because the USA did it first. Of course we wouldn't just flat out copy your entire idea, it'll probably be a different colour to make it unique for us, but you can't just say that we can't use jackets at all.
 
How about team UK shoelaces?
Especially since the U.S. cubers have copyrighted the use of jackets.

I can see why you would think that. Doesn't seem to stop people from wearing shorts at comp in the middle of winter.

UK speedcubing has been getting more and more popular in the last couple of years so there wouldn't be enough people to buy then anyway.

We are just really jealous of your jackets as they are soo cool!

please don't speak for the entirety of us, its not a copyright and you didn't make it, so you cannot decide.
Let them do as they please, theres not any legal copyright or patent, you cannot restrict them from jackets just because we got the idea first, thats sounds like 2 3rd graders fighting over a certain thing to draw.
