There's been reference above to Piers and Theo's efforts on the design front. Some of you saw earlier versions of these because we had misunderstood the purpose of the meeting at the Dog and thought it was going to be the free-for-all process we're now going through!
I've sent them to Bob who I think is going to collate all the thoughts together. It sticks to the existing club colours but based around a lighter 'belgian blue' and draws on the Belgian national kit. It's an unashamedly classic old-school race offering (so maybe a little different to some of the more restrained options todate) but with a bit of an update.
There's a logo there too that has deliberately local Dulwich references which is perhaps worth thinking about. Two sets of short options based around light and dark blue. There's also been chat of a 'Kelme' style light blue front and dark blue rear (for obvious reasons).
Looking forward to the critique (!) and, yes, we know the text on the shorts is the wrong orientation - it was a late night for Piers OK!

Well done on uploading all that Bob. I really, really like Piers and Theo's design. Love the retro look, with the pale blue. Especially like the logo. Fun stuff. Marks design looks good too although it does look a bit like Dan's.

I love the design proposal from Piers and Theo. I think it absolutely hits the spot on the stylish/restrained retro and offers the playfulness that the other proposals lack. I would definitely like to wear this kit and I can imagine us out on our bikes really getting noticed wearing it. I do like the Crystal Palace mast reference - always know you're nearing home when you see that.
I kind of want to order mine now.

...they do say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery! i love dans original design but thought the continuous yellow band may help with the 'female offset logo' problem, and the light blue shoulders with possible 'solar panel over heating' effect of dark colours.
also like the theo/piers design a lot but prefer the gill sans typeface of dans design.

Piers - Theo 'masterpiece' is so very cool! my only little suggestion would be to stylise/minimalise the mast logo making it easier to print and possibly looking a bit like one of those old US radio station things.. D.P.C.C. looking like R.K.O. (or whatever it was) Excellent work!

Only comment I'd make on Theo-Piers is that that pale blue is used by a number of clubs already on the London scene - most notably De Laume (spelling) and another one that is based south of here, but I can't remember. May not be a big deal, but for those who race it maybe because I have done some commissar work and something that is different from the pack will help the judges pick out who one a race if there is a close finish.
Mark's is nice - follows on from Dan, BUT you have to bank on the jersey manufacturer being able align in the stripes from one panel too the next and I don't see them doing it. Most jerseys (even for the pros) don't try to line stripes up from panel to panel.
These are only practical comments. I have don't have any strong feelings on the design either way (nor mine for that matter!).

I agree with Tom about the logo possibly being difficult to print. Maybe it would be worthwhile sending an image to sportful just to ask if they would be able to print it clearly as some of the lines are pretty fine. It would also be worth asking them if they would be able to print it on the shorts too as I suspect that it might be tricky.

I find Theo and Piers design fantastic. And there's Theo modeling it for us in a tent somewhere, probably Wales.
I don't want my RKO logo minimised - if anything make it bigger! With a minature Cafe St Germain at the base.
Fantastic. When can we order?

Isn't the Agisko Viner team strip predominantly light blue?

On the logo - it is the RKO label which had RKO Pictures where we have the Dulwich Paragon. The idea was to work it towards something a little more 'graphic'. In the time we've not played with it. We do have a structurally accurate wireframe of the Crystal Palace tower if anyone cares that much!
There was also an earlier version (which made it to the Dog) which had just the logo on the rear of the jersey - dinner plate size I guess. Some felt that we needed the club name more clearly so it didnt make the cut but we could dig it out if people like the idea.

Piers/Theo , excellent work your designs look really good! I Liked badge with Crystal Palace mast nice touch. The prominent Dulwich Paragon text will be sure to let everyone know what famous cycle club has just overtaken them (or in my case when they have overtaken me). The dark short option Has my vote. Great work.

It is a similar colour to agisko viner, but I like the way their kit looks, one of the best in my opinion. I don't think it's a problem, I like P and T's design enough not to care about that, besides it has Dulwich Paragon on it in big letters so no ones going to mistake it. The only other pale blue kit is De Laune's and you don't see many of their kit around.

Don't know the formal process for how we decide but I am in favour of Theo and Pier's design. Thanks to all designers for the work they have put in and thanks for up loading it bob. A
