Blufftrash and his dad (Diabolical?) & SpoG went to UNR. Reaper got me (Cham) into Ultima Online leaving Simon Jester and Kurgen at the helm and with a shrunken roster.
Fun guys to play with, I too wonder where they all now. Maybe they’ll turn up in Zwift one day.
I get nostalgic, I searched for old screenshots and clan web pages. I did find an old TJD site which I enjoyed reading. One thing I don’t miss is 56K connection and the elusive playable ping.
I agree with the general premise that there should be more avatar customization available. Seeing what other competitors are able to produce as far as what the avatars look like will hopefully push zwift to provide some more customization.
On the other hand if they gave me a choice of spending resources on new roads or more avatar customization, I would pick the roads
Who would pay for zwift and get the risk of being banned for creating an appropriate jersey. People are free to custom their jerseys and go ride on the streets but I don’t see any cyclist out there with ■■■■ jerseys.
I believe this is something that is really holding zwift back at the moment. the fact is that cycling IRL is about the clubs… and there is nothing in zwift that really draws clubs in at the moment.
having clubs able to make custom jerseys would allow clubs to join a race as a team and perhaps try out team tactics… IDK… the true heart of zwift racing is still purely fitness and maybe 10% tactics/drafting
I also would like to have our club’s jersey to be used on our team’s avatars. I see the US Army has their own custom jersey, so this appears to be happening already.
When I asked about club custom jerseys, you sounded like you spoke on behalf of Zwift, (or have inside knowledge on this topic) when you asked how many riders we have and how often we are in Zwift.
I can’t find anyone from Zwift to communicate with about this topic, so was hoping you were a “pipeline” to their policies on the topic and don’t want to drag out this discussion on the forum as I am now doing.
It is very difficult to get a club jersey in Zwift. The club would need to have a large number, be active with group rides and races and I’m sure there are other criteria also.
You could contact Zwift Support and see if they could help.
Also, I made it clear in this thread I’m just a user admin and don’t work for Zwift.
Currently we are not taking new requests for custom club jerseys. This does not mean however, that you will not see new club jerseys appear in updates to the game. There are clubs that have been in the backlog for a very long time who may still get a jersey, or who are part of a specific program (for example, the Zwift Classics races). There will be other “clubs” like entities that get jerseys due to a partnership arrangement some other cooperative program between Zwift and this organization.
These are very different than how a 50 person club in real life gets a jersey in the game just because they Zwift as well. We love that small clubs use Zwift, but creating custom jerseys for hundreds of these clubs does not scale considering the work involved to build each custom asset.
We are working on a system to make it more clear on how clubs get access to custom assets in the game, but that system is a work in progress.
