Just to want to say thanks to all the suggestions for new sponsor for the next pack - I have come away from it with an idea and also a small challenge
The main large pack is going to be based around the suggestion by sammyt93, with a Eritrean/African based pack.
The second on is a challenge I have set to MARSUPILAMI - after his suggestion of Correos as a sponsor, he PM'ed me this morning to say he wanted to use the sponsor himself. As I had put in some work / research over the weekend, I have decided to press on with my design, and we are going have a 'Jersey-Off' in the Graphics Contest to see who can make the best Correos jersey! May the best man win

Good luck the_hoyle. I have finished my shirt, which is available for watching in my Museum. I think you will win anyway. Maybe not because your shirt will be better (it will be better, also), but because you are more liked than me (or at least less hated). Good luck!

What about create contest, when the participants must create jersey with the same sponsors and voting will decide, who will win this contest? |

@murao22 Believe me or not, but reblaus and me are discussing about creating it. If any of you want to create and run it, I would participate!
@the_hoyle Just remembering than in July GFX Contest we are fighting for the win as well! B vs B. Bi vs Bi. Bianchi vs Bic!

@MARS: We will let the jerseys to the talking - may the best man win as I said
@murao: As a one-off it is fine, but as a contest on the site, it would greatly restrict the way some makers work, so in the long run it wouldn't be successful.

@the_hoyle I usually have problems with inspiration and ideas... For me that contest would be perfect!

@the_hoyle, @MARS: I think a monthly contest with a set of rules (not necessarily just one sponsor), would be great. Maybe set some limits for which country sponsors can be from, or which colours can be used etc. etc.
Vincenzo Nibali - Rui Costa - Nairo Quintana - Alberto Contador - Peter Sagan
WDshirts
The Last of the Real
- Story about Dries Deckers - racing against Merckx, de Vlaeminck etc.

Bare with me this might end up a long post.
First off,
@the_hoyle
It's good to hear you are going to make an Eritrean/African sponsor'd pack next, I look forward to seeing which sponsor you choose for the main one and to see the pack when it's completed.
@Mars
You've come a long way since you first joined the site and have gradually turned into a really good contributing member, I think focusing on shirts and putting your 20 million ideas into different sponsors rather than different threads has helped loads in that and you are probably more liked/ not as hated (anymore) than you think.
@monthly contest talk.
I think using just one sponsor would be a bad idea as it would restrict you to using only 1 of the jerseys made, your favourite one, and would mean you can't use all of them.
Personally I think that a limited choice of sponsors, or better a set of rules that limits the sponsor you can use rather than it having to be one of the ones posted would work better.
That way you can tailor it so that the sponsor's choice have to fill where there are gaps in the DB's where there is a lack of shirts made for certain nations or regions.
e.g. you could have that it has to be an Asian sponsor, or a dutch regional sponsor, or an eastern European nation or you could specify 2/3 countries.
Another way to do it would be to say it has to be a sponsor from a certain industry, e.g. banks, then let people pick any bank from the world.
Using one of the later methods I mentioned would result in more of the shirts being made included in DB's as they would fill gaps where there are some needed.
If you managed to read all of that then I've got just one thing for you

So... here is my version of the Correos Jersey (as suggested by MARSUPILAMI)
Unsure at the moment the size of pack that this will be - maybe only 5-6 NCs plus the World RR & ITT Jerseys

I do love that watermark effect on the big logo on the yellow. It looks really stylish and helps break up what would otherwise be one big block of colour. Considering how nice it looks I'm surprised it's not a technique I've seen used much before, only on 1 or 2 jerseys.
I imagine I'll use either yours or Mars' jersey as a main teams jersey and the other one for an Under 23 team linked to it, I just haven't decided which way round yet.

@Sammy: Thanks a lot - I got the idea for the watermark from the photos of Correos delivery vans I found when looking for a .png version of the logo. It worked out nicely on the jersey
@MARS: Both jerseys are nice, and I am unsure which I like more... It is all down to the votes of the PCM.Daily community #VoteThe_Hoyle

I have found some issues in your stitches:
- Over the Telefónica logo in the top of the back
- Below the Cervélo logo in the top of the back shorts
- Over the Castelli logos next to that Cervélo
And... that Castelli looks a bit pixelated, no?
Anyway, I think I forget something... #VoteMars And please, vote the best shirt, not the best shirtmaker or the best user in the forum... THE BEST SHIRT! I'd also like to win

Why did you go for a different blue, if I may ask? Other than that, great jersey!

@Mars: the issue with the stitches is the contrast between the dark blue of the jersey and the yellow stitches. And the castelli pixelation doesn't look too bad. It is because the logo is so small.
@croatia: thanks
@mithrillian: the difference in colour is because I used a blue associated with Telefonica and not Correos

Aha, got you there. Didn't think of that.
Now go make some nice NC's so I can #VoteThe_Hoyle with full confidence.

So... your focus for this team is a new Caja Rural? Meh, my actual focus for Correos is a new Movistar
