Ok I have volunteered to organise this again and this is your opportunity to have some input into the design, fabric, colour etc. Obviously not everyones choice can be accomodated but like the BBWF thread, hopefully a consensus will be acheived.

For those that didn't get last years model (not seen any on ebay yet) this is what it looked like, it also had BBWF on each sleeve


Apart from Rev I think everyone would like a different colour (TVR Purple has been suggested?)(bit girlie?) How about Cooper Green

Last year we opted for a lightweight polo to counter the scorching (ahem), July summer heatwave, was everyone happy with the quality?

Do you want more on the shirt, something on the back for example? Remember each embroidery will add 80p-£1 to the cost which last year topped out at £12 (slightly more for the X large)

Personally I think last years was a winning formula at a reasonable cost, let's encourage the girls to wear one too, TVR looks even better stretched (need a busty smilie here) The PH handle, name and model were vital as nobody looked like you had imagined

Not looking for orders yet just input..

Like the layout of the one in the picture. Really don't like the idea of something on the back. Not too fussed about the colour but would agree on something different to the yellow. Purple may be a problem for me as the better half would want to borrow it, it's her favourite colour.

I quite like TVR purple, but then my taste is questionable as topless taz is painted renault violet which is a rather shocking pink !!!!

If a summer heatwave is on order, how about vest-style tops for the girls - suggestions:

big bad wedge woman
big bad wedge widow


in lime green, cerise pink, or turquoise, maybe black

I think the original design is spot on. I do agree with the colour change, I also think that purple would be appropriate.

You will get an order for mine as per last year in purple.

Never mind the critics coment on purple, Yellow is not an ideal colour. But it is the significants to TVR and the Wedges that counts. Then next year I would suggest red. (only because the red looked good on the wedge in classic car mag last month)

First cars appeared in '79. Mine (chassis #36) was May '80, so they were well into production by then.
Grahamw48 has chassis #10, anyone know af an earlier car still in use?

Oh, red shirts for me...

I like last year's design. I think it's spot on. How about replacing the Big Bad Wedge Fest by something like 25th Anniversay Meet. As for colour, I'd prefer a dark one, perhaps navy blue as black tends to fade. Lettering in yellow as a link to last year. The material and quality was fine.

Look forward to placing an order or two!

How about different colours to match your own car. maroon would suit me. Probably would add to the cost but I would be up for it.

I quite like the idea of Purple, very TVR and will probably go down well with the girlies as well.
Think the 25th anniversary bit is a good idea too. Quality and price etc were fine.

Sorry but this would be an admin nightmare, and how long would it take to find a match for all the TVR colours Besides I think all the same colour has great impact. Perhaps this year we'll have a group photo of people only, y'know like wot they did when you was at school!

Vest tops for the ladies - like your style. Perhaps the TVR and PH handle could be velco attached "peephole style"

Interesting, Purple seems to be love/ hate

No, Purple is not a good idea, I have just been reliably informed by my better half that whilst it looks good on TVR's it does NOT mean that she wants to wear it

Starting to sound like Red, Blue & white are the safe options .. but with a matching silk G string for Martin

I'd agree with Steve - got to keep it simple.

One colour & design only - it takes a lot of effort to organise this.
