Jersey design contest?
I really hope they're not completely dropping the argyle.  I rather liked it.

If they drop the argyle, maybe they can go with a faux tweed or herringbone.  Or perhas a Price of Wales plaid?

Yes argyle is a requirement!
I just downloaded the design kit. It includes templates for the jersey & shorts, logos, etc. I'm a designer; not usually fashion though, and I don't know if I'll have time by the deadline to do something. Would be fun. We'll see.
