 | I'm not really that much of a fan of Zebra print. First thought that came to mind was that it'll make us look like '80s porn stars (and not in the good way). Also prefer the older logo of the polo ball and paddles. I agree Signe that your picture conveys more of what happens in a game, but Polo is such a complex sport, can you really convey it in one silhouette picture?
There are more issues if you're trying to make these "official" team rash vests. I mean, if we choose something like Zebra print, we're stuck with it in the long term. Unless this is just going to become like every other club clothing order, different from the rest. I think I've only seen one re-order of kit and that was the red canoe jackets. If we really want to stick with one choice for a long term, wouldn't it be better to chose something that everyone is ok with instead of something that some people are really happy with but that some people really don't like.
I personally prefer having block colours, maybe different colour sleeves from the torso. Black/White if that's what we're going for? Block colours would also be easier to spot on the pitch than Zebra print.
Which are we more concerned with? Playing well or just looking pretty?
(Sorry if this sounds like an old man rant but I've been asked to voice my opinions) |

 | I can't imagine rash vest colour really has any impact on the game itself - design choice would purely be related to 'looking pretty'.
I still have the original Illustrator artwork for the ball and paddles logo, so it can be changed/updated if needed. |

 | I wouldn't like to be beaten by a team in camp and un-manly rash-vests, but equally, it could backfire.
No one will see anything other than the sleeves anyway.
How about this for the sleeves...

Webbo, would be cool if you could upload the other logo as comparison please.
I really reckon this to be better, unless someone edits those paddles on the other logo to what paddles actually look like and makes it look less like the rowing club.. There were some pirate like ideas in the air.. anyway, I'm getting tired..

Yey, I was just looking for a motto!!!(other than "Be less shit!")..
I really love the "Paddle hard, play harder!" (but that's some other uni).
As regards more colours, that' s more expensive and we also don't really want more colours..
