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.

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?

Essentially any shade you want as they do it by sublimation printing. I like the green from the current maillot vert, too much to have Euskatel orange side panels and chevron? (NB should not be trusted on colours)
