Had a very productive night, so managed to work a lot on the McLaren-Honda jersey. Even to the point where I am happy to release the initial jersey!

Being honest, i don't like it. A mix of things combining to make me dislike it that i shall now list! Please feel free to ignore me or rage-quit the site 
Too many lines/seams - Breaks the flow up too much and causes,,,
Jaring contrast - Of colors and shapes. There's a lot of individual things happening and sharp cuts between colors but not in a good way.
Color scheme - McLaren kit should never be black. Silver/grey please! The way the black main, silver seams and red interact is too dominating.... or just wrong to my modern mclaren eyes
Pixelation - Ok i'm being quite pedantic on this one and it's not helped by the color scheme but the seams really seem pixelated, or unclear like when you see a small chequered shirt on tv and it shimmers around. Unless the seams are designed like a twist which would explain it but be a super weird design choice...
But apart from that i like it 
I need to stop being depressing....

Its awesome! I love it! You made great work, imo even your best work so far(warning: opinion) Just leaders jerseys, NCs and you could release a pack.

A black McLaren shirt is the only bad thing I can say, other than that great work

@all: Thanks for the feedback! Seems that it has split opinion... 
@TMM: You make a valid point on all of those things you mention. You will see no ignoring/refusal to go back to improve/rage quitting here! I think the pixelation does come from the extreme contrast between the black jersey and the white seams. Looking at it now, the white seams doesn't work. Last night (after working on it for 4/5 hours straight) the white looked ok. Going for the dark colours on the seams would be much better.
@TMM & sgdanny: I agree that McLaren colours needs to be white/silver with red, but I thought I would go for a darker alternative. I think I have done something to amend that

Given the feedback from TMM and sgdanny, I have gone back and made a few amendment to the McLaren-Honda jersey.
Here is V1, with the white seams changed to a darker colour:
And this is V2, changing the jersey to the more traditional McLaren colours.
The black shorts remain on V2, due to my own personal perference and also following Rule #14 of the Velominati

I think, the black is alright, because f.e. the WC jersey would be white. So there's a bit of contrast there. I don't know how silver/grey would look like...
Also, I think(if you plan to make NCs and WCs) it would be cool, if you would put the stripes where the dark orange/redish color is. so not just simply stripes all around the jersey. Maybe someone is able to create equipment for that. If not, I will try to create a frame(at least)

@Paul: Yeah, the design does lead to some nice possible NCs, that will be different from the norm if I follow the same design layout. Not sure if you have seen the alternative versions, as we posted at similar times, but they are above. I think the white version works really nicely.

I like both versions of the McLaren-Honda jersey especially V2, but have you tried the V2 version with the red and white the other way around.

@sutty: Reversing the colours on V2 doesn't look right I'm afraid. It was one of the combinations I tried

Hey mate,
When you have the time, could you please re-size the two banners you made for me in my sig to be probably have the size or a bit smaller? Thanks a lot
On another note, I'm really liking the recent work. Regarding the McLaren jersey I personally prefer the white version

@cycleman: A smaller Orica banner was made for you when I did the other one. Find it below The Road to Le Tour will take a little longer, as I will have to start from scratch with it.
