Buddhist Bicycle Jerseys - Cycling Mob: Road Cycling, Mountain Biking and More

04-02-2004, 11:23 AM

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}:

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.
