New Barnes Aerospace Jersey 2009

[jberenyi]

It's that time of the year here at Barnes and this year we are going with our new logo and the Joint Strike Fighter the F-35. We decided on two colors and quite frankly its pretty split here at the division so we are asking the cycling gurus what they like in a poll. If you want one please private message me so I can take your order. I think they will be priced at $60-65. Last year we had a few on the forum that wanted our popular F-22 fighter jersey and we were happy to oblige.

Personally, I think this pic would be MUCH better ;)

I saw that picture and this automatically popped into my head:
Revvin' up your engine
Listen to her howlin' roar
Metal under tension
Beggin' you to touch and go

Highway to the Danger Zone
Ride into the Danger Zone

Except that's an Eagle not a Tomcat. No swing-wing.

Both cool planes but the new stuff is way cooler.

Nice, I'd go with a slightly lighter shade of blue.

Me too. I already called them to make a change. It will look real nice. I believe we are getting both colors since the division has such a split in preference.

I agree that the lighter blue will be nicer than the shade shown, and more realistic, but the green stands out better, which I suppose is one purpose of a cycling jersey.

As a former AF Officer....I've had enough of he blue/gray/silver. I really, really like the green. Unique. Different. Cool.

agreed...the blue will get lost in a sea of blue jerseys....the lime green will really stand out.

And maybe I spent too much time in the neon 80's, and around Kawasaki riders, but to me there's no contest - go with Blue.

Although I do appreciate the arguement about standing out; I just wouldn't do it with chartreuse, myself. I design our jerseys with that in mind, as it really helps to spot each other in 24 hour MTB racing, or on long event rides where you're often in a huge peloton, and might get separated on climbs then regroup. I guess you need to decide which is better - to stand out, or to look good (IMHO). :-)

Blue, but I'd prefer what the marketing group used for Top Gun movie poster. Their sunrise, bright orange/persimmon is cool. And yes, my name is Viper. While Iceman and Maverick chased eachother around the volleyball court thinking they were the best pilot, they knew the deal.

If you choose green, your sales will make you feel blue. If you choose blue, your sales will make others green with envy.

Some may like the green, but many would never buy a jersey with that color.



The color man,

I agree here. I would say blue if it was a t-shirt. Since it's a cycling jersey and I'm on the road with cars...one Lime green for me please.
