After the whole team placed their "order" it looks like we actually are just short of Champion's minimums. To order tops or bottoms you need at least 10 of a "style" (ie ten short sleeve jerseys, 10 bibs, etc) before being able to get ones and twos of the other things. Podiumwear has minimums of 5 (though they don't have tri stuff or the bib knickers etc.) so we're going to go with them. Job has indicated that he will be placing Wheelhouse's order shortly for their kit so if you want some tights, tri-suits, etc. let me know ASAP.
Some plusses to going with Podiumwear:
- They are local. They do the design, the fab, everything local.
- Their re-order policy is awesome. There is no minimums for re-orders. If you crash and need new shorts you can just order them. We don't need to get 10 pieces to make a minimum.
- Their timeline seems shorter than Champion.
- They have gotten back to me super quickly every time I asked them a question.
- If we don't like the stuff we can go and TP their facility.
I'll keep people updated and hopefully within a week or two we'll have a proof to look at and approve.
Now, onto other matters...

Good work Captain, just let us know how much and when it's needed
Will do. I need to finalize the design (and get it on their template) as trying to describe our concept ends up being a massive trainwreck. I think we should have proofs (2D and 3D) by mid next week I think.
