This is to take the jersey discussion out of the Zwift discussion. @trplay If you want to move the initial jersey post here maybe we can widen the discussion.

The wheels at Team Moose are always turning-always- but we have hit a major bump in the road and need your help. The launching of the 2019 Moose Kit has hit a serious roadblock with only 2 weeks before the first Brevet. There are strong disagreements towards this hi-viz safety jersey. Some seeing a highly visable day/night cycling garmet while others have a totally different opinion. Help us out, we need your vote! Thumbs up or down?

...PBP require the "Yellow Jackets"

Using the COLOURS and PATTERNING as seen in the yellow jacket wasp:

And maybe some of the ideas found in sports logos:

You could create a jersey using the jersey adaptions that allow them to look good on human body types. Here are my favourite (aesthetically speaking) Bend It Cycling jerseys looking at where stripes are and shoulders shapes, body lines, etc.:

And my favourite Reverse Gear jerseys

And adapt them with a large Team Moose logo instead of the BendIt purposed logos.

A big shout out to BendIt and Reverse Gear for providing awesome jerseys.

I received a response from Jon Deeks, owner of Reverse Gear, regarding the above post:

Thanks, Ben, I really appreciate the mention and encouragement, it's vital for small businesses like ours.

I'm very happy to work on custom jerseys and would love to.

Best wishes and happy new year

The Team Moose design looks like construction worker type clothing. Not my cup of tea. I do like color block. I think the vertical reflective strips are what I don’t care for much. So, my vote is a thumbs down.

Another idea - this one found at Mountain Equipment Coop:
