Tartan Riders - Design Thread
This thread is to present ideas for and discuss the design of the tartan riders cycling wear. Please feel welcome to present your ideas (preferably with images to help express the concept if possible).
The tartan to be incorporated is the Holyrood tartan

A bit of it's background:
"The Holyrood Tartan was created as an adaptation of the Royal Stewart. Many of the newer tartans took their inspiration from this popular sett, usually with some royal significance. Lochcarron of Scotland was similarly inspired to commemorate the Silver Jubilee in 1977. This tartan, with its hues of blue, sage, silver and white has remained popular and took on a new relevance when the first Scottish Parliament for 300 years was based at Holyrood." - The Scotland Shop
"Designed by Alistair Buchan of Lochcarron of Scotland to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in 1977. Holyrood is the Scottish equivalent of Buckingham Palace, the Queen's official residence in Scotland. She is guarded by 'The Royal Company of Archers', a non military force provided by the chiefs of the clans." - The Scottish Register of Tartans
Templates for the Jerseys and bibs can be downloaded from the vendor web site here... http://champ-sys.com/custom/cycling/formsandtemplates
Have fun and I look forward to seeing what we can come up with.
