Buddhist Bicycle Jerseys

Why don't you make a jersey out of Jesus, Maria and Holy
Father? Sounds strange, right? Your idea of making a
jersey out of Buddhist figures sounds exactly strange to
a buddhist.

I'm thinking about making a very small run of Buddhist-
themed bicycle jerseys. My first attempt would be using
an image of Guan-Yin {Chinese), Kannon {Jap}, Kwanseum
Bosal {Kor}:

She is the female manifestation of the Bodhisattva
Avelokitshvara.

Is anyone interesting in having a jersey made for them ?

If interested, email me directly. I don't often read this
newsgroup. Thanks.

All artwork would be appropriately licensed from the
artist. All attempts will be made to hold the cost
down to what you'd pay for a comparable commercial
team logo jersey.

Hmmm, why did you spell out Chinese and abbreviate Japanese
and Korean? Its a matter of respect.

Why not work up some sketches and post them on a website?

I have seen jerseys like that, printed for a evangelical
church bike tour. It does look kind of strange. I suppose
most public religious displays will look strange to some
people (both religious and not). Some people take religion
very seriously, so you may want to have your religious
friends critique the design before printing it.
Personally, I would stick to something less controversial,
like politics.

World Jerseys already has a Bhuddist jersey for women. We
don't keep that one in stock, but can special order it for
customers.

Like I've said before, I'd like to see a "Team Fred" jersey,
for those of us with Fredly bikes.

A nice idea, although this image does not interest me. I
would think that adapting something such as teh ox drawings
or perhaps the Dharma Wheel would be more interesting and
make it apropos for cycling. At least for me, the overly
devout approach lacking a bit of whimsy is not appealing
(for any faith).

Well, you can get pictures of Jesus on T shirts. For example:

Having this on a jersey wouldn't be any stranger.

I don't know how many Buddhists would find the OP's idea
strange. I'm neither Christian nor Buddhist.

I see people driving cars, wearing T-shirts and cycling in
jerseys festooned with what seem to me to be obsequious
Christian images; many people's faith is such that they lose
all sense of perspective and alientate as many people as
they touch. Frankly, I find public

IMHO the image presented isn't appealing as a cycling jersey
in its own right- the image has no connection to cycling in
any way. Put Hotei on a bike and maybe you've got something.

Indeed! There is nothing more repulsive than a man and a
woman kissing or even holding hands in public. It makes me
wonder why people build houses (or churches, temples,
synagogues, etc.) at all.

With the exception of possible exception of Kelme (just
because it's a sporting goods company, though they don't
make any cycling gear, AFAIK) what major sponsor of a
professional cycling team has anything to do with cycling
or any sports? Is a Full Sail Ale or Ben and Jerry's
jersey more appropriate to our chosen recreation? People
will brand themselves for many reasons; affinity for a
religion or religious figure seems as reasonable as for a
commercial product.

To the OP: is it Buddhism which says that if one paints a
deity incorrectly/poorly, in the next life the painter will
suffer the disfiguration that s/he depicted? Better do the
graphic right.

I agree. A nice picture of Freya would be cool ... or even a
stylized Shiva.

If someone gives a [censored] because there's a buddhist figure on
a cyclist's jersey, then they're the ones with the problem.
Infact, if they're that worried about all these
'controversial' religious references, I don't know how they
can even go out of the house... there's crosses everywhere,
jesus fish stuck on the back of millions of cars..
bumperstickers, etc. etc. Heck, even if they stayed inside
the house, there's television, with evangelist channels and
the trailer for the passion of the christ.

I am emphatically not an expert in these things but
isn't that design a tad overly finely detailed for a
cycling jersey?

No, it could be done although the image might need to be
printed as a one-pass transfer using sublimation ink in the
printer itself. Our former clothing maker (Speedy Recovery)
used this for stuff on our jerseys that needed fine
resolution and precise registration.

They became Buddhists and are no longer concerned with
material possessions. When you become sufficiently
enlightened, you will have no need of jerseys. :-)

Are you sure you didn't send this out on April 1 (and have a

Actually, I have a jersey with a picture of Che Guevarra, so
I guess anything's game: Besides, it wouldn't be as
tasteless as evil clowns or gearheads.
