OK, I am negotiating a deal with my friend to do the design work. Are we willing to take some sponsorship in return for the design, either for the QTPi(e) project above or for the "Caravan Collective" an effort to promote the american dream by selling hotdogs to hipsters.

possibly hotdog of hipsters, by hipster and for hipsters, i don't know, I grilled hotdogs for several hours on friday night in return for beer so it feels like a worthy effort to me.

I need to know where we'd get this printed so I can give a template to the artist.
Quick research says Pactimo, $62 for a continental racefit jersey, min order is 5, Bibs are $63 and I'd be interested if 4 others are, I will need another bib soon.
http://www.pactimo.com/custom/galleries/continental/products/1338
pricinghttp://www.pactimo.com/custom/pages/ordering_made_easy
By no means an exhaustive search, but seems to have the lowest min order and good pricing. We'd get a better deal with http://champ-sys.com/ min 10 @$45 with the added bonus of no minimums on additional items like bibs.
Big Question though:
Club or Race Fit?

coming together, we're using the mexico jersey as a prototype, deeper chevron on the front, club crest replacing the mexico one. Back will have a larger mantis, pies on the pockets, QTPi(e) logos up the sides. Q. is working on the crest right now, I hope to be able to post that up in a week or so. Might be a fairly slowish process.
Did you check the spelling on the Finnish?
Does anyone have an idea for a typeface for the motto?
Do we want anything on the sleeves?

Cofidis have a good kit. Columbia's is awful. Garmin doesn't do it for me either, Radioshack is a bit robotic. I like Astana's colourscheme but they're tainted. Euskeltal kit is great, but somehow Rabobank isn't. Lampre's over the top. Saxobank is okay.
