So, last time I tried a thread like this back in PCM09, I lost interest about a week after. Hopefully, this time it won't happen.
My designs tend to be a bit more mundane than some of the other shirt makers, as I think more realistic designs work best, in my opinion.
I'll collate ALL my jerseys on to this first post, so anyone interested in viewing my work can just look at them here, without trawling through the rest.
Rockwell Collins Cycling team
Candi TV - Zipvit
California Giant- Specialized (w/ nat champ jerseys)
Spoiler:
Festina - Conec (w/ nat. champion jerseys)
Spoiler:
Chain Reaction Cycles (Note: This was done as a practice exercise beforehand, trying to practice how to draw shapes. It is based on the 09 Silence - Lotto Jersey, and all minor sponsors are from a career in-game.)
Team Wiggle (Note: This one was also a practice exercise, but was this time based on a design by Will007 which I adored as soon as I saw it. All credit to him for the design; this is merely a replication.)
Chevrolet Cycling Team
Spoiler:
Norheim - Komplett
Spoiler:
GDE - Ouest France
Superman Jersey Competition
Milka
Oracle Cycling Team
Argo Airlines
Team Ferarri
Aker Solutions - Bergans
Trilux - Falke
Cyclevox
V.1:
V.2:
Emu Exports
Team Dyson
CSC - Orbea
Team BPost
Wilier - GoSelfDrive.com.
I'll take requests, but won't get a chance to do many of them.

Hi, yesterday I asked for a fantasy jersey in another threat, but if you have the time and the interest in do it, I'll be grateful.
Those are the sponsors and colours i want.

Colors: Main color should be blue like Chevy's logo, with some yellow-gold and white. Sponsor Distribution: Chevrolet on top front and back of the maillot. Bulova, Time Warner and The Sands, smaller on bottom front jersey and back of pants, Kelme on shoulder and lateral pants, BH on bottom back of maillot

B13, some of those sponsors might be tricky to work with, especially the ones with the metallic effect. It's more of a personal thing, since I thing sponsor decals designed so intricately tend to take away from the overall look. I'll have a look around, see if I can find more neutral versions of those sponsors, and if I can, I'll have a crack at it when I get time.
I still need to do accessories for the CaliGiant- Specialized jersey first, so might be a day or two.
It's ok.
Let's see how they match, anyway, i'll look for other sponsors in case you think that's not possible to do a good job with those.
Thank you very much.

Thanks, Maximka. It's my personal favourite, too, though it's a shame that I couldn't come up with such a cool design on my own.
@ B13, I wouldn't worry bout that yet. I'll most likely be able to make it work, somehow, but as I said; will be a couple days, since I still need to do a full accessories pack.
Also, added a few jerseys from when I first posted this, and some extra national champion jerseys for SotD's Festina team. Because ya never know

Here we go, B13. Hope you like it:
I wanted to use the gold colouring from the Chevrolet logo, but this was the only way where it didn't look 'cheap.' That's why it ended up with such a simple, conventional design. I think it works; just hope that you do too.

Sometimes less is more...
And it looks fantastic...
I really like it. Thank you very much.
Can you please make me Spain and USA nationals?
If not, don't worry, just de jersey is already enough.
Great Job!
I like your work so far. The first few ones are a bit too pixelated in the shapework, but that's rapidly improving. In the most recent work (the Chevrolet one) I kind of get the idea that it's a bit out of focus. The logo's all look a bit too blurry and might look a bit crisper if you sharpen them a bit. Keep it up!

Thanks, Devnl. As for the pixelation, that's largely because I've been recycling shapes and designs that I'd made some time ago in photoshop. I'm using GIMP now, and it's not so good at recolouring things, hence the pixelation.
B13, glad you like it. I'll make the national champ jerseys later
