ZYM jersey question.... especially for the young ladies


I'm designing the new ZYM jersey kits for men and women. Quick question... would women wear these? I'm just wondering if it's too masculine.... so I added pink. Thanks for your help.

Despite what many designers think, girls do not require the color pink, pictures of tinker bell, flowers, or other stupid 'cutesy' crap on their jerseys. In fact the absence of this kind of stuff is preferred. I rarely see any females wearing the nauseatingly "feminine" stuff for sale online or in cycling shops, if ever. Basically what we want is the same jerseys men have, just a womens cut. Save yourself the cost of the different colored fabrics and just change the cut.

I also have to say its more about fit than design. Im a busty girl so its hard to find jerseys that actually fit without the sleeves being a million miles long. I personally only wear solid colored jerseys but I do like the green on green

I have to agree with the everyones comments here. I always avoid anything girly. Most of the time I just wear mens jerseys.

And what about the pink collar, etc? Are you keeping that? The consensus seems to be not to keep it.

For the time being, cycling is still a male dominated sport. Women who are attracted to it are tough and athletic. We do not need pink around the collar. We just need room for our milk jugs.

While I like the nod to Catapult with the pink, I think it needs to be more prominent, a lighter shade, or gone. It doesn't work as an accent color with all the other greens/yellow-greens.

As a Zym fan, I'll likely be getting one.

Is it me, or are very few cycling apparel companies making women-specific race-fit jerseys anymore? My idea of race-fit is a slightly longer short sleeve that is tight (rather than a short-short cap sleeve) and a longer body that doesn't hike up when you're tucked in the drops, with generous pockets. Unless you're willing to shell out big bucks for an Assos jersey, it seems like everything is pastel, flowered, sleeveless, too short, and super cutesy. Gross.

It might not be your style, but the women on my team uniformly love their Ibex jerseys. Longer torso, full sleeves, tight where you want it to be, and roomy pockets. But, you know, wool.

Assos is great but it's way too expensive.
