As promised here , the committee has winnowed the options for the club's new kit down to the final three.

A vote will be taken at the AGM on the 15th of October and here are the candidates:

Thanks Tom.

I'd like to thank Tom, Aidan and Charlotte for all their hard work over the last year to get the designs to where we want them. I think each of the designs will have their own fans and will be difficult to make the decision on the night.

Note that we will not be using the selected design until the end of 2013. This was due to a motion carried that the existing kit would be kept for 3 years the last time this subject was raised at a AGM.

We will thus be aiming to roll this new design out for the winter 2013 order.

This might not be helpful but I'd wear any of those designs with pride. They all look great. Thanks for the effort made.

Come on lads, this isn't the attitude.

Kit changes must be the subject of vicious infighting. It's the law.

Can I vote for the logo from the first on the jersey of the third with the shorts of the second? :P

Nice work team, they all look amazeballs!

I wasn't looking forward to this, what with my cynical attitude to anything done by committee, but I have to say the 3 designs are all outstanding. Before I can decide which to vote for I'll have to ask my extended family which one would look best on me. On second thoughts maybe not.

Pushed to make a choice, I'd put "clean" in 3rd place, "curve" in 2nd, and "bands" in 1st. Although I could quite easily swap 1st & 2nd choice. And the other isn't bad either. Damn, I can't decide.

Many thanks to John, Tom, Aidan and Charlotte for their work in creating the shortlist. They've come up three fresh new designs that also show continuity with Orwell colours of the past. I'd gladly wear any of those three kits with pride.

Hi all,
Thanks to those that attended last nights AGM and the feedback we received on the various options that were presented.

Also thanks to John Lanigan, Dave Mac and Dave Tansey for modelling each jersey.

I'm pleased to announce that the one that was overwhelmingly voted in was:

BANDS
dl.dropbox.com/u/62809696/%23_BANDS_05.pdf
dl.dropbox.com/u/62809696/Revision_BANDS_05.pdf

So over the next couple of weeks, the design committee will do the final tweaks to incorporate the feedback.

For anyone going to the weekend away, I plan on bringing down the new jersey for people to get a look at it.

Finally, we plan on placing a quote or something similar on the inside of the collar so if you can come up with something suitable, we'll try to fit it in. The winner might even get a free jersey out of it!

And for those of you who weren't there:





There are a few provisos about what you see above - it is really a draft of what will eventually be put into production so:

a) the exact colours are still to be finalised
b) as it stands, the placement of the horizontal elements and the text is lower than we'd intended so that will most likely change
c) as this kit is not being rolled out until the 2014 season, there is the possibility that it may have to change to suit changes in sponsorship arrangements
d) there's no guarantee it'll look as awesome on you as it does on Dave.

Was reminded you're still looking for this tonight. I always liked "It doesn’t get any easier; you just go faster". I'm sure there's plenty more suggestions out there though.

jaysus Dec - I'm used to getting it from family and friends, but cyclists telling me not to lose any more weight - I'm beginning to get worried!

How about "Easy's gettin' harder every day"? The veteran cyclist's lament.

Given the club's name and 2013 being Eric Blair's 110th anniversary, how about, "Four legs good, two wheels better"?
