  1. 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.

    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.

    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.

    Peter W: Make whatever the hell jersey you want man...I'm not buddhist or
    anything, but I think that design looks awesome. the colours in it are
    great.

    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.
