9, August 2006

Greetings -

What an interesting few days it has been. With the 2006 'cross season almost
upon us, one of the last minute tasks on the get-ready/to-do list has been
finalizing the clothing order with RS Team sponsor and apparel maker
extraordinaire, VergeSport. Each season, Mariola, Kurt, Mike, and the
entire workforce at Verge, bend over backwards to ensure that our clothing
arrives on time, that all the artwork is perfect,and that our squad has kit
options that are without peer. From the material choices which are critical
for the autumn season with its extreme range of temperatures and conditions,
to the seemless construction of tops, bottoms, and outerwear that stands up
to all the abuse a season of 'cross can hurl at it, to the vibrant colors and
perfect PMS matches that I routinely drive these folks nuts with, VergeSport
keeps us well protected as well as in high style atmo*.
For 2006 I had the notion to zig instead of zag, and I asked Mariola et

al to render our art screens in black "...just so i could have a look-see".
The results are overwhelming, and I will likely choose the black kit over
the overly predictable red kit that we've been seen in lo these many
(23+ ???) years. I - and the team cats - have chatted about a change
for the past few seasons, yet I personally never got around to dealing
with it...until this week.
If you are getting these emails, no doubt you've seen the art and the
pics posted here. Now I would like, make that, love to share some of
the remarks I have received sinceyesterday, all reinforcing the decision
to switch looks for the '06 racing campaign. Datapoint: the kit will change,
but the RS paint jobs will remain red and off-white. Enjoy these remarks:

SUPER DUPER SWEEET! Schwinn-wing!
---------------------------------------------------
They look awesome… I do like the black. Nice work.
---------------------------------------------------
WOW, that black is really cool! Quite a departure from the whole "RED" thing!
---------------------------------------------------
I'm in for some stuff if you decide to go with the black.
---------------------------------------------------
black effin' rocks. do it. or else.
---------------------------------------------------
Black team stuff…that’s cool IMHOBlack. For a change.
---------------------------------------------------
putting a red leg-band on the black shorts makes my mouth salivate...
---------------------------------------------------
oooooooooooooooooh BABY!the black is TRES cool.
---------------------------------------------------
oh ya. the black is a happenin’ kit.
---------------------------------------------------
DUUUUUUUDE, I am so with that and get it. That was exactly my first
reaction. Black has attitude. anyway, I was wearing a black t shirt the
other day and some girl was checking me out. if it works for me just
think of the possibilities with you skinny guys.
---------------------------------------------------
holy shit the black looks mean. that's good for two titles alone atmo.
suprisingly, I vote black.
---------------------------------------------------
The black looks great, especially for a winter sport. It gets my vote.
---------------------------------------------------
WOW, that black is really cool! Quite a departure from the whole "RED" thing!
---------------------------------------------------
black, black & black....i can disappear and hide in the field, then
sneak away when i want to!
---------------------------------------------------

By the way....I like the black version best.
---------------------------------------------------
After looking at the complete picture of the product rather than the
design, I like the black better as well. Hope that helps to solidify
your decision.
---------------------------------------------------
The black looks great!
---------------------------------------------------
The new black kits look really sharp! Good luck this season.
---------------------------------------------------
black is awesome...in the same way those stupid red hats the red sox
wore for one year in the 70s are awesome. do the black for next year....
then never ever again and blame four shots of jack daniels and beer.
---------------------------------------------------
just showed the wife the black. she prefers it and say's it goes with
everything. you should see her closet. it's all black.
---------------------------------------------------
"change is good" refers to the Black kit. Black is the new Black.
---------------------------------------------------
The lay-out of the back of the shirts is fantastic. The shorts with the
Chinese ideograms on the lower part of the legs look like a million bucks.
Classy stuff, truly nice. Congrats.
