Hello Dea,
That's fine. If you want to just use the Lynx, then that's fine too. I
think Canonical would approve of you doing your best to match the
colors and designs if we don't get the official SVG images in time. We
are under a deadline. :-)
I appreciate your help!

Hi Trey,
In reference to using mascots, I'm finding it very difficult to
incorporate all 12. My work tends to be more minimalistic and I
think it would be best to use just one or two mascots. I'm thinking
the first (warthog) and the latest (lynx). Any thoughts?
Also, as soon as I receive the official colors and logo, I'll update
my design and send it off. However, if it doesn't get to me by the
end of this month, I think we'll have to fake it and go with the
closest match I can come up with. Would this be acceptable with
Canonical?
Thanks.

Hello all,
I haven't received a response from anyone that would like to help
out with this project. I feel that this is a great opportunity for
someone that is looking to expand their portfolio. These are
cycling jersey's that have the approval of the marketing team at
Canonical. There are several Canonical employees that plan to
purchase these jersey's.
If I don't get any help from the community, I'm going to have to
raise money and hire a professional artist. If you have an
interest in this project, please let me know.
Thank you,
Trey

Hello all!
I'm riding in two charity bike rides this year. One is for
Multiple Sclerosis and the other is for Diabetes. I've requested
and received permission from Canonical to create custom jerseys for
use on these rides. My team is going to be called "Team Ubuntu".
This is a chance for the community to show that we can roll with
the best jerseys that we often see for companies like Microsoft,
Red Hat, Cisco, and Nortel. I'm am hoping that we can use some
Ubuntu culture for the theme of the jersey. Ubuntu has a unique
mascot for each release. My thought was that we would design a
jersey that incorporated the mascots of our releases. The style of
the Hardy Heron wallpaper was pretty popular and would probably
look good on jerseys. Here is a link to the wall paper I'm
referring to: http://images.google.com/images?q=hardy+heron+wallpaper
The jersey could include the current supported releases or we could
try to incorporate them all. The jersey isn't limited to a
predefined set of colors, so we really have a lot of leeway in our
design.
Here is the list of mascots so you don't have to look them up:
Lucid Lynx
Karmic Koala
Jaunty Jackalope
Intrepid Ibex
Hardy Heron
Dapper Drake
Gutsy Gibbon
Feisty Fawn
Edgy Eft
Breezy Badger
Hoary Hedgehog
Warty Warthog
I realize that there is a wiki page for Ubuntu Jerseys, but I feel
that we want to push the boundaries more than these designs. The
jerseys appear to be limited by the number of colors that they can
contain due to manufacturing limits. Plus, they appear to just
reuse a lot of logos and I'm hoping for something new and exciting.
Here is a link to some designs that another cycling team in the
Multiple Sclerosis ride received when they placed a bid on the crowdspring.com
design site. http://www.crowdspring.com/project/1283223_cycling-jersey-logo-vin/
Check out the Ubuntu jerseys here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuCyclists
I've picked out a company to print our jerseys. They require that
the design be in the SVG format. Here is a link to the templates
that they recommend using when designing.
Jersey template:

Shorts template:
http://champ-sys.com/media/FullWrap%20U%20Panel%20MBI040.pdf
They have some notes about the black areas of the templates. The
black area can be one of seven pre-dyed colors. I recommend
checking out the notes on the page.

The Diabetes ride is in June and the Multiple Sclerosis ride is in
September. The manufacturing process takes 6 to 8 weeks, so we
have some time to design.
I look forward to hearing from the group. This is an exciting
opportunity for your artwork to be seen by thousands of
participants in these events. Please let me know if you have
questions or need additional information.
Sincerely,
Trey Ethridge
