We received fewer designs this year, but deciding on a winning design was not an easy task. There are a several designs that would make really great t-shirts. In the end, the judges chose Stephen from Irwin, Pennsylvania, USA. His design makes me remember the happy times when energy bars looked like a cellophane pack of mini donuts; cycling jerseys were any shirt you owned that had short sleeves, and energy drinks consisted of water bottles filled with lukewarm coffee and Coca-Cola. (Yes, it is kind of gross, but it does work.) Congrats, Stephen, for creating this year's winning Wheelgirl Bike Shop "Bike Love" t-shirt design. You win an Chrome Citizen messenger bag! Check out Stephen's other artwork.
Keep your eyes peeled for another t-shirt contest this year. I really love to see the creativity and talent that exists in the bike community. Here are the designs from this year's participants. Well done to all of the designers who entered!
(*Quick completely unrelated note: If you are in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco today, check out the Purple Skunk All Skate Jam.)
