What do you think is cool?

Hello yourMTB readers. Its Bryan here from Evomo.

I recently worked with Steve and Walker to create a yourMTB shirt design that captures the mountain biking vibe in a natural open area, many of which IMBA works very hard to keep accessible for us. (The yourMTB shirt will be ready any day now, just in time for the Holidays!)

The few of us here at Evomo are pretty much wrapped up with the 2006 year and are starting to think about what 2007 will have in store for us. Our brains are already filled with cool ideas for new designs for tees, fleece, hats and more, but...

WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!

One thing I have heard during my travels to MTB events is a request to see some of our cool graphics on technical fabrics. A wicking t-shirt for example, which will cost more than your standard tshirt. Currently we offer only cotton shirts.
- Should we make some wicking t-shirts with our graphics?

Everyone has their own idea of whats "cool" and we tried to offer a selection of designs that range from the more edgy and humorous "HURL" to the simply cool "EPIC GRIND". So, I ask you:
- What makes a shirt cool enough for you to wear?
- Color, price, design, fit?
- Would you like to see more action images, blood, bikes or what?

Have a look at our website to see what we have accomplished this past year: http://www.evomo.com

We would love to hear from you.
Thanks.

I Love the idea of designs on wicking t-shirts...as for what is cool...anything off of the beaten path...cool earth colors...and an off the wall design/comment. Your designs are awesome though...I'm looking forward to the shirts.

Cheers,

I like your tees, give blood is cool!! I really like the design for here also!! a lot.

Tech fabrics would be a big plus for this market!!! Here is where colors to me are important.. because i purchase the tech shirt to actually ride in, And around here Bikers are often sharing the land with other sportsmen.. like HUNTERS!!! ecckkkk i like reds and oranges for colors cause they stand out on the trail... greens, grays and browns make you look like a deer.... or a dead deer!!!!

as to whats cool.... everyone has thier own opinion... detailed images can be cool (actually a couple of the photos here would be cool shirts in photo quality or even if rastered down to a few colors)... then again something simple like a stick figure doing a face plant would be cool!! with a caption like.. "ride in the plants, don't become one" or something along those lines...

For me, design & color overcomes price & fit. Also, a breathable material is a big plus.

Something I find cool when Riding in 4 seasons is the color.
For example, I wear orange Jersey in September and October

Life’s a trail… might as well Ride it!

I like your designs, especially "HURL".

I like the tech fabrics for comfort and would be willing to pay a little more for a better, quaily, shirt. I don't like tight fitting bike jerseys. I would rather wear a downhill cut, loose fit jersey so air can flow. a downhill type, short sleeve would be great for bike season, with a long sleeve for the chill.

As far as color goes, I like the standard red, blue, white, black with great graphics, logos, and mountain bike sayings like Thomllama's example.
