Default Buddhist Bicycle Jerseys

I'm thinking about making a very small run of Buddhist-themed bicycle
jerseys. My first attempt would be using an image of Guan-Yin
{Chinese), Kannon {Jap}, Kwanseum Bosal {Kor}:

http://www.ratsurfer.com/claire/400/...holy_water.jpg

She is the female manifestation of the Bodhisattva Avelokitshvara.

Is anyone interesting in having a jersey made for them ?

If interested, email me directly. I don't often read this newsgroup.
Thanks.

All artwork would be appropriately licensed from the artist. All
attempts will be made to hold the cost down to what you'd pay for a
comparable commercial team logo jersey.

Why don't you make a jersey out of Jesus, Maria and Holy Father?
Sounds strange, right?
Your idea of making a jersey out of Buddhist figures sounds exactly strange
to a buddhist.

Hmmm, why did you spell out Chinese and abbreviate Japanese and Korean?
Its a matter of respect.

Why not work up some sketches and post them on a website?

I have seen jerseys like that, printed for a evangelical church bike tour. It
does look kind of strange. I suppose most public religious displays will look
strange to some people (both religious and not). Some people take religion
very seriously, so you may want to have your religious friends critique the
design before printing it. Personally, I would stick to something less
controversial, like politics.

World Jerseys already has a Bhuddist jersey for women. We don't keep that
one in stock, but can special order it for customers.

A nice idea, although this image does not interest me. I would think
that adapting something such as teh ox drawings or perhaps the Dharma
Wheel would be more interesting and make it apropos for cycling. At
least for me, the overly devout approach lacking a bit of whimsy is
not appealing (for any faith).


I agree. A nice picture of Freya would be cool ... or even a stylized
Shiva.

If someone gives a **** because there's a buddhist figure on a cyclist's
jersey, then they're the ones with the problem. Infact, if they're that
worried about all these 'controversial' religious references, I don't know
how they can even go out of the house... there's crosses everywhere, jesus
fish stuck on the back of millions of cars.. bumperstickers, etc. etc. Heck,
even if they stayed inside the house, there's television, with evangelist
channels and the trailer for the passion of the christ.

Peter W: Make whatever the hell jersey you want man...I'm not buddhist or
anything, but I think that design looks awesome. the colours in it are
great.
