Buddhist Bicycle Jerseys
on 4/2/04 9:52 PM, Tim McNamara asserted:
Frankly, I find public displays of faith as irritating as public displays of sexuality. Indeed! There is nothing more repulsive than a man and a woman kissing or even holding hands in public. It makes me wonder why people build houses (or churches, temples, synagogues, etc.) at all. IMHO the image presented isn't appealing as a cycling jersey in its own right- the image has no connection to cycling in any way. Put Hotei on a bike and maybe you've got something. With the exception of possible exception of Kelme (just because it's a sporting goods company, though they don't make any cycling gear, AFAIK) what major sponsor of a professional cycling team has anything to do with cycling or any sports? Is a Full Sail Ale or Ben and Jerry's jersey more appropriate to our chosen recreation? People will brand themselves for many reasons; affinity for a religion or religious figure seems as reasonable as for a commercial product. To the OP: is it Buddhism which says that if one paints a deity incorrectly/poorly, in the next life the painter will suffer the disfiguration that s/he depicted? Better do the graphic right. Seng |

I'm thinking about making a very small run of Buddhist-themed
bicycle jerseys. A nice idea, although this image does not interest me. I would think that adapting something such as teh ox drawings or perhaps the Dharma Wheel would be more interesting and make it apropos for cycling. At least for me, the overly devout approach lacking a bit of whimsy is not appealing (for any faith). I agree. A nice picture of Freya would be cool ... or even a stylized Shiva. C.Q.C. |

Is a Full Sail Ale or Ben and Jerry's jersey more
appropriate to our chosen recreation? Full Sail was formerly the beer supplier on Cycle Oregon and thus "earned" their jersey. Bob |

Bob I think the OP was being generic in his comment. Not specific, although it could have been said better. You haven't answered his question. For me, I don't care. Anyone else? jim |

Personally, I would stick to something less
controversial, like politics. If someone gives a **** because there's a buddhist figure on a cyclist's jersey, then they're the ones with the problem. Infact, if they're that worried about all these 'controversial' religious references, I don't know how they can even go out of the house... there's crosses everywhere, jesus fish stuck on the back of millions of cars.. bumperstickers, etc. etc. Heck, even if they stayed inside the house, there's television, with evangelist channels and the trailer for the passion of the christ.

I am emphatically not an expert in these things but isn't that design a tad overly finely detailed for a cycling jersey? No, it could be done although the image might need to be printed as a one-pass transfer using sublimation ink in the printer itself. Our former clothing maker (Speedy Recovery) used this for stuff on our jerseys that needed fine resolution and precise registration. |

When you become sufficiently enlightened, you will have no need of jerseys. :-) -- My real name backwards: nemuaZ lliB |
