UK Team Shirts

[chrisness]

Hey,

I would definitely be in favour of embroidered polo shirts. you are no doubt aware that many of the other countries, most notably Netherlands but there are others, have embroidered polo shirts and I've always thought they look better and have more longevity than the printed tshirts given out a competitions. As far as I know, dan h was the only Brit who got one of these when they were first made. Right? Anyway, that's my vote. I'm also happy to just get a printed T if that is the consensus.

Yeah, they are definitely the standard in the cubing world. I believe the japanese spent like £50 or something on their WC shirts! Embroidered polo shirts are "the look" really, and every country seems to have these in Europe at least. Dan is the only one with one because he was the only UK cuber at the time. I have followed that lead though, for making our t shirts, and it's not a practical solution.

 

[chrisness]

They were made by the wife of one of the Dutch cubers weren't they? (I seem to remember that's what Ron said when I asked him.)

You seem to be relatively pro-embroidered polo shirts so far, yay!

Yeah, the mother of Alexander Ooms makes them. That's not really all that practical for us now though I might investigate anyway, it's possible that I could arrange something for Benelux. I will probably get an embroidered polo shirt regardless of this, but I just need a majority decision from everyone else for theirs first!

 

[MTGjumper]

I wouldn't mind paying the extra for an embroidered shirt

 

[kinch2002]

Embroided polo shirt sounds good to me. In time for Benelux would be even more awesome

It doesn't feel very nice to wear and the patch is a bit "hard and crusty" (actually a Joey Gouly quote from when we got it ). I can provide photos if you don't know what I'm talking about.

My old Batallion PT Tshirts had exactly this I think. You'll get runner's nipple after just a few miles.

I would definately opt for a Polo though. Embroidered.

Or after a few rounds of master magic!

If we were to go for a polo shirt, what colour would it be? I'm not too fond of the light blue of Dan's UK polo shirt. I do like on the other hand the dark blue of Charlie's t-shirts. Middle blue might get a bit confusing with the french shirts.

Definitely navy. I don't like the blue of Dan's either. It makes me look ill and none of you would want that, would you?

It will have red and white writing etc. on it so that it shows up.

 

[Jason]

Great! I'll be looking forward to getting one

 

[MTGjumper]

Brown or red, because apparently they suit me.

... wait, that's a stupid reason. Navy blue seems good

 

[MichaelErskine]

Yes, Navy is a good colour for team UK shirts.

I still like the idea of it having a German national colours Schwarz-Rot-Gold on it though

Fandango FTW.

On a more serious and sombre note. I think Arnaud has chosen the land of the rising sun as apposed to the land of the Ryecroft Road, Frampton Cotterell.

Very obscure comment there James but yes. Arnaud will not be joining us.

Sorry, I do get these moments, mostly when I have poorly hands.

Navy blue seems good. Or just plain white lookes quite smart imo
