First, some "official" feedback that I have received from our Tri Club members after sporting your wears for a season.
Tech cycling caps: Fantastic! Light, comfortable, perfect for cycling & running!! We ordered enough that we should be good for a while longer.
Wind Jackets: Wonderful!! We have sold nearly all of them!! Very nice, perfect with the long back, big rear pocket and even pit zips for ventilation.
Race cut cycling jerseys: Super!! Everyone digs them. Another item that we have nearly sold out of! They fit well, are comfortable and our design looks great on them for showing off!
All three of the above were a pretty safe bet for us to order as other clubs and cycling teams in town have your gear and I have seen or worn each. We are all very happy with these items!

I wanted to tell you that I love our Garver jerseys. Mine is probably the best fitting jersey I have, and it is really comfortable. We had a team ride for the Tour de Cure on Saturday, the Big Dam Bridge Opening Ceremonies (also on Saturday), and the Big Dam Bridge 100 on Sunday. We are the designers of the Big Dam Bridge, so it was fun to have our new jerseys for the weekend events.

Thanks for getting this done so quickly. Everything turned out really nice and I have a very positive experience working with Champion System.
We'll send you some pictures once we get everyone in uniform.
Thanks.

Can you forward me a copy of the invoice?
Thanks!

I have nothing but good things to say about working with Champion System and hopefully we can help you get some more business in the area. Please feel free to pass this on to the principals of the company as well.

Clothing is great and I still owe you a letter. Been busy. There is not a ride that goes by that others do not comment on how cool our kits are and ask who we got them through.

Dear John,
Order arrived today Dec 4 which is amazing. Very happy with garments. Thanks again for the remarkable service you have provided to our small spot on the globe.

John,
Thanks so much – as luck would have it and despite FEDEX making a mistake on the home to deliver it to, we did get delivery on Friday in time for the race tomorrow (Sunday). I can now head off on my holiday (Tuesday) with that behind me. When do you think the rest will be despatched as depending on when that will be I may change the delivery address. Because it looks so good, we have received more orders. Is it correct that we can place small orders as I could probably get a small order away to you in the next couple of days for some nicks and jersey's. Everyone was so impressed when I swanned around the circuit this morning in the kit. I have a Colnago C50 in the same colours..

Team Response
I'll tell you this: As someone who loves the basement bargain business, and who usually goes with the lowest possible price I've been burned a lot by companies on the customer service end, and with ship dates and all that crap.
With you guys, it's been nothing but promises kept and pleasant suprises!
Also, the material feels great! I will definitely recommend you to every club and team manager I know.
Corey / Team Share the Road
Ed, I wanted to personally thank you again for all of your help on making our Zenn Cycling kits a reality. The quality of the clothing is excellent and all the members of the team are happy with the pieces, especially the fleece jacket which is the most popular. On our first team ride in the Sacramento area, we were questioned if we were a European Pro team training in the area. Well, at least we look the part. We have received many inquires regarding our kits and our highly recommending Champion Systems to them. I look forward to working with you in the future.
Rich Mader
President, Zenn Cycling Team
Evan: Thank you for the fine service on our recent jersey project. I received them earlier than I thought and they look GREAT!
Tim Strem / SSFTA
Ed, Greetings from California, I received my products yesterday (11-1) and I am very happy with the each item, everything looks great. I know that I will spend more of my advertising dollar with Camp-Sys in the future. Speaking of which, I am assuming that since you know have my data on file all I will need to do for future orders is present you with an order form and my credit card number. I understand that there is a 10 "major" item minimum on reorders and I can add the accessories, such as socks.
Again, thanks and I will be in contact with Champ-Sys in the near future.
Thank you,

Hi Evan.

Hi Evan,
Just got the jerseys today. They are awesome and the order was perfect, colors are beautiful, the chamois is the thicker one I wanted, the orange shorts are great. All was great except for I screwed up and forgot to order the wind vests and wind jackets. I think I screwed up on one small order too, I ordered one xtra medium, which is all good because someone else took the set.
Thank you for your service,
Karla / North Country Bicycle Club
Hello Jerry, I did recieve the jerseys on Friday of last week and must say that I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. I love the design and your company was very easy to work with. You all exceeded my expectations. My guides look sharp and we recieved many compliments on our local club ride. Thanks!

Hi Evan. Everything worked great with the delivery. The jerseys look fantastic and performed great in hot weather. You guys have an awesome product and it helped to make our event a real success.

Ed,
Just wanted to let you know that we received the clothing last week and everyone loves the new kits!!! I'm amazed at how well the graphics across the shoulder seam lines up!!! I was a little worried since it is a straight vertical stripe and that it might end up a little skewed across the seam. Anyways, we are planning another run and hope to get started next month. I'll keep you posted.

and we received this email when they reordered:

Dear Charlie, I'm in California now; in fact I just had a 3-day team camp with Team TIBCO in the Palo Alto area. We got the team clothing our first day of camp, and I just wanted to let you know how great it all is. Not only do the colors look fantastic (and they match our bikes perfectly), but the cut, fit, and design of the clothing is excellent. I haven't had such awesome team clothing in my 4 years' racing with 4 different clothing manufacturers. The quality is really impressive.
Thanks to you and the whole Champion Systems company for your sponsorship of Team TIBCO this year. After meeting the team this past weekend, I am really impressed by the other riders and the management and look forward to a great season.
Regards,

The Cannery is a creative/technology agency that is known for its excellent delivery of content and client service. When we decided to start a cycling club we new we wanted to ride under our own brand instead of buying generic jerseys. We also have high profile clients that were going to sponsor us. My goal was to find a company that would give me the creative freedom to design my own jersey and deliver the quality of service and product I expect. Price was also a concern. We are not a large company and we new the number of jerseys we were ordering was going to be low. When I came across Champion System I was skeptical. I got on the phone with them and grilled them about their process and ability to deliver on time. The end result was amazing. The communication with my rep was fantastic and the delivery was perfect. We didn't order just jerseys, but leg warmers and arm warmers too. I highly recommend Champion System for anyone in the market for custom jerseys and all the other great custom products they can do.
Thanks Champion System for making us look good. Now we just need to work on our riding. YIKES!
Alan Hellard
President
The Cannery
The caps are awesome. We wear them before and after the races and now with the colder weather setting in we wear the technical cap under our helmets. The quality of the caps is great. The euro caps fit perfect and the technical cap is thin enough to wear under the helmets and durable enough to throw in with the wash and have a nice clean hat every time. The custumer service we received was great and the caps were delivered well before their due date (how often does that happen!). Big thanks to Charlie and the crew at Champion System. We will do business with you again.

The Team Will jerseys and arm warmers are outstanding, and the team is extremely excited to "premier" them at the Sierra Century. Thank your people for an excellent job. We will be back for our future events.

Take care,

Hi Evan.
We received our order this week. Thanks for prioritizing for us. Club members are very impressed with our kit. The color is just spectacular, and the tweaking done by the design department really makes the jersey pop. Personally, I've worn a lot of different club clothing, and with most American sized clothing, because I'm 6'2' and 156 lbs, I have to choose between a little too small or a little too big. However, the Race Cut fit from Champion is just perfect.
In fact the response has been so positive that we are going try submit another order on Aug 15th for an Oct 15th delivery.
Again thanks for all you've done,

Brian Fuentes
Team Fuentes Design
Our team typically has small orders, so its tough for us to find companies that are reasonably priced, yet offer low quantity minimums. Then we found Champion System apparel and couldn't believe it, a company that offers great service, low minimums, and great prices. At first we were skeptical because it sounded too good to be true. But their staff was quite helpful in making sure that we got the product that we really wanted, and after we received our initial order, all our worries were put to rest. The quality and craftsmanship of Champion System apparel is the best any of us have ever ridden with, bar none! And their re-order policy is absolutely genius. In fact, we've already had two re-orders and will probably place several more this season alone. Thank you Champion System for being so customer friendly and producing a superior product!
With much gratitude,
The Air Force Academy Cycling Team
Working with Champion System has been one of the best moves we could have made. With low minimums, a quality product and quick turn around they've accomodated our needs in a timely way. I have referred them already to several different teams and individuals without hesitation.

The few actual riders that have seen the kit debuted on a training ride (last Saturday) can't wait for theirs. (The guy that wore it is also managing this event. And he raved about the comfort and fit of everything.)
We just finished bundling everything up for overnight shipment to the team tonight.
Thanks again for all your help.

The jerseys arrived and I have to admit to being completely floored at the replication of the images. The jerseys are simply outstanding!!!
Please pass on my thanks to your staff and company folks. So very cool to be able to generate a concept and then see it come out like this. I am that much more psyched for the Angel Ride.
Much thanks,

I just wanted to tell you how pleased everyone is with our team kit order for '06. We ordered just about every item you offer, and in each instance you met or exceeded our expectations in terms of price and quality. The quality is indeed very good, and all the the designs came out exactly as we wished.
Speaking of the process, we found it to be pretty "painless", and we look forward to doing busines with you in the future. You are a trusted resource.

Hi John,
This mail is a little overdue but I wanted to say thanks for the great service and quick delivery of our new kit.
Everyone agrees that it looks great. We had lots of comments from the other teams at our first event as a team at the weekend. We had 5 teams in a 25 mile two up time trial in Cheshire, UK.
Many Thanks
Marc Briand / Leeks Cycling Club
Florida
Evan,
Wow. I would have responded to my order being received but I have been in shock. I'm very impressed—turn around time was about three weeks!
Having been in the manufacturing business, I know how difficult it is to capture customers. Your competitive pricing and low minimums pulled me in, but your superior quality and great customer service will keep me a satisfied client. Given that you don't take the sizing shorts out for a test spin, I harbored a fear that the chamois and short fit just might not be perfect, and I'm prone to saddle sores. I thought if they're good enough for Henk Vogels, they must be good enough for me . . . but then, Henk could finish Paris Roubaix with sandpaper in his shorts!
I was pleasantly surprised by how well everything works. Your gear really makes a professional kit that looks great and works even better.
Great stuff.

Thanks,
Thanks again for the rapid turnaround, that was excellent service.
Adam Giles / Orlando Velo
We received our team gear last week and HOLY $%^&*!!! This stuff is INCREDIBLE!! As a grassroots Cat2/3 Men's and Women's team, we tried samples from a half dozen other companies, but for the quality, price, customer service and NO LIMITS custom design process from Champion System, we got more than we expected. Their vibrant, clean colors, great images, superb fabric and chamois but above all, fast turnaround time, made Champion System the obvious choice for our Team apparel. This 14 member team will be showing up to the first race with renewed spirit and excitement to show off our hard training and new Champion System Cycle Wear. If you want to get the heads turning, go with Champion System!
We are definitely a Champion System team for life!
Thanks very much!

John,
I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how satisfied we are with the jerseys we ordered from Champion Systems.
First, the customer service we have received from you has been excellent. Every time I have sent an e-mail or left a message, they were promptly answered. We appreciate that.
As far as the graphic artists we were working with....top notch. Every change we requested was carried out to the letter.
To be honest, I was a little concerned about what the quality of the jerseys would be due to the low price. I wanted you to know we were very impressed and the jerseys actually surpassed our expectations. The crossover on the front of the jersey where the zipper is located was exceptional. I have been in the printing business for almost 25 years and everyone I have shown the jersey to has commented on the crossover lining up perfectly.
I am in the process of uploading the images for vests, windjackets and bib shorts as we speak.
Thank you to all those involved in making our team kits a success.
Please check out our website to see how the jerseys turned out.

Evan, Thanks! We got them yesterday - so far the comments have been very positive - several people mentioned how much softer and more comfortable your jerseys are compared to our ones from last year and they love the full zipper!
Cathy

Thanks for the excellent design on all of the gear. Everyone loves it. All I've heard is how much they look better than last years. We will probably place another order in January for more jerseys and bottoms and some mini jerseys for our sponsors. Thanks again. Talk soon.

Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say how pleased we are with our order. The jerseys look great and everyone here is impressed with both the quality of the material and the graphics.
Optimus is a video post-production facility here in Chicago and we make our living making things look good. We really appreciate when people work to provide the level of service that we provide to our clients.
Now that I've got people on board about what jerseys can be I'm hoping to expand and get more people involved and see if we can't make jerseys a part of the client gifts that we have available here.
Thanks and enjoy your trip.

I just wanted to second Dave Sampson's letter of thanks. The jerseys looked great and drew a lot of compliments from other riders. I've had a couple people inquire about who we used and recommend they get a hold of you. I'm participating in a fund raising event for Parkinson's next year (1500 miles from NY to FLA) and am going to see if they're interested in jerseys as well.

Thanks for all your help with this. I would bet big money we'll have a reorder sometime this spring when we get out and ride with these – others will see them and want one (or more) for themselves.
I'll definitely be spreading the word about Champion System to all my cycling contacts.
Sincerely,

Hey Ed, our first order came in this morning. Looks good.

and we recieved this email when they recieved their second order:
Ed:
Just got a FedEx box with the second Team CCC jersey order. FANTASTIC, and thank you for the extra effort to get this order through. Our team will be riding in the MS Tour next weekend in high style, thanks to Champion Systems.

We received the 2 boxes yesterday – I must say, we are very impressed. Great Job! We look forward to our second order.

Hi Charlie,
Very briefly, as I am dashing to the Manchester UCI World Cup track event which we organise.
I have rarely worked with a more professional outfit as yours. No fuss, direct questions and good product.
Lots of TV resulted. We shall gather up some stuff for your files.
Regards,

Dear Ed,
We received a huge box of clothing today early (thanks :) ) It got cold yesterday here, so it's just in time! Meanwhile we'll be recommending you to everyone in shops and clubs here in Maryland. Really, really nice stuff. Here's another satisfied customer blurb for your website:
Been retired so long you've worn holes through your bibs? Not psyched about joining the local club just to be able to purchase jerseys? No problem. Make up your own team. Draw up a nice logo, send it to Champion System and wait for six weeks (or less in our case) for your pro kit to arrive. Those low minimums make it possible for two people to make up a team! Look like the pro you were without having to train as much. Play dress up in the mirror if it's raining - whatever, it's your team! Our proofs were turned around in minutes and the clothing was here just as the mid-atlantic turned from summer to winter overnight. Note: It seems like late September is a GREAT time to order clothes - road season hasn't started for next year and cross season clothing orders better already be in. Great clothing, low prices, if this seems too good to be true it actually isn't!
Thanks,

Charlie, I just wanted to let you know that the jerseys were a huge hit last night for the winners! There is nothing like seeing Mark McCormack walking around after the race signing autographs in a brand new
Witches Cup 2007 jersey! I have a few podium pictures that I need to download off my camera, and as soon as I do, I'll forward them over to you.
Thanks again for everything!

Hello Ed:
Our team jerseys arrived. They are beautiful. Many thanks.
Again, we are super pleased.
Martha / Team Stem Cell Research
WOW!! The order came in this morning. I am so pleased. Everything looks fantastic. I really like all of the fabrics, the printing is crystal clear, and everything looks perfectly constructed. The very small details, such as the side panels on the skinsuits lining up perfectly with the short panels, make it look so PRO.
Thank you for all of your help through the process, Charlie. You have always taken really good care of me, from the UMass and NCC days to now. You've got a life-long customer.

John,
Here are my final comments:
* The uniforms looks great. Attractive bright colors, excellent printing and first class cut.
* I fell in love with the fabric quality from the jersey. When I put it on I had the feeling of a second skin. Very comfortable and I have received a lot of good comments from my team. AAA+++
* Without a doubt Champion System is the best I ever have ever worn!!
* I'm very pleased with your customer service. Thanks John.
So...thanks a lot and I will recommend you with all the local teams in my community.

We will mostly be placing a third order sometime next month. Everyone is really excited by the way the design turned out and by the quality of the clothing. In fact, one of my friends said they are the best fitting jersey and bibs he has ever worn.
Neal / Team Mott Hospital
Hi Evan, The uniforms came in this morning and we are absolutely exhilarated! The design is exactly what we wanted and the quality is above and beyond what we expected. Thank you so much for taking care of us. Taking care of the customer is what brings them back for repeat business and you can rest assure, we will be back.
Talk to you soon with our 2nd order.

We'll do the socks next order…speaking of which – I'm preparing a winter order – I work with lots of skiers –can you do a bib tight, NO chamois they can use for skiing?

We love how the kits turned out....its very exciting, and we have drumed up much interest this past weekend not olnly by prospective members, but also by sponsors who would be interested in our next order of kits (we would like to order new kits in November for 2008).
We would really love to add this order ASAP because we have numerous venues in which our team wil be promoting itself soon. (Some other teams were interested in where we got our kits, and we happily told them about your great company!)

Hi John, Here are few pics of our team jerseys. The blue is so vibrant! We got many compliments over the weekend, and are in the running to win "Best Team Jersey".
The change you made to the women's club cut jersey from 06 to 07 was great(removing the bottom elastic).
Thanks again for your help and I look forward to working with you next season.

Charlie/John,
I just wanted to thank both you guys for a great job that was done on the cycling apparel for Team Jagro. The quality of the design and material is absolutely superb. Your communication with me to keep me updated and assist with all the questions that I had was great. Also the delivery was arranged in time as promised although I was getting a little nervous at the end when on Tuesday we still did not receive the shipment. However, we have everything now and will wear and show off everything proudly at next week's Ragbrai 2006 in Iowa. If anyone of the 5000 riders will ask where we got these cool jersey's from we will be sure to mention Champion System (don't worry, I will not ask for a commission or finder's fee..).
Kind Regards

I just wanted to take a moment of your time to say Thank You for again sponsoring our team for the 2007 campaign. It never fails to impress me as to just how outstanding your clothing is! The colors are absolutely stunning, the workmanship is outstanding and the range of clothing items available is beyond comparison. I would use the term Vivid to describe the Sublimation, but even that term doesn't do your clothing justice, the finished products are Truly Beyond Vivid.
The Warmup Jackets and the Polo Shirts add the finishing touch and complete the custom package and gives the team a real "Pro Look".
I have received many comments from our riders stating how comfortable they find the chamois to be in the Bib Shorts and Skinsuits.
On behalf of Fred Mengoni, myself and most importantly our riders, a sincere Thank You. If it wasn't for companies like yours and people like you, we could not continue our work of allowing promising riders to obtain the visibility they deserve
.
PS: Our Junior National Criterium Champion, Peter Salon wanted me to thank you on his behalf for supplying him with the Custom National Championship Clothing. Peter is currently racing in Europe as a member of the Under 23 USA National Team
and will return to us in July or August.
Very truly yours,

Evan,
We got 'em. They've been distributed to the team. Everybody's happy with them. And the important thing was there was enough money left over for a party! We are confident of winning the "best jersey" award again this year. Thanks for your help pulling this all together. If we expand the team again next year (we went from 30 riders to 50 this year), how do we go about doing a re-order and are there any minimums?
Dan
Easy Riders
and we received this email after the ride:
1800 riders
110 teams
"Best Jersey" award for the 2007 Eastern NC MS 150: Easy Riders!
Plus…we did half the ride in the middle of Tropical Storm Gabrielle.
Thanks for your help, Evan…we will likely be doing a re-order next year. This year we went from 30 riders to 50.
Since I had only a small order, finding somewhere to have custom jerseys made was very difficult. I naturally assumed that I'd be at the whim of the company and they would get to me when they wanted to. That was not at all the case with Champion System. Ed Glazar and the rest of the sales team treated me as if I were royalty and had a huge order! Not only do the jerseys look fantastic, they were able to work with me to get the jerseys turned around in just under 7 weeks so I could have them for a race. You can check out other sites and spend lots more if you like, but I am so pleased with Champion System, I'm telling all the local bike shops and tri clubs about them.

We recieved the jerseys and skinsuits this morning, I had to write and tell you how happy we are with the product. The black is very different to the past, and the printing is great. We are totally excited about the quality as we feel this fits in with the standards we are trying to set across the board. The process from the start to finish from initial contact with you to delivery has been amazing, great customer service, and final product, thank you, we will definately be using you from now on, and look forward to reordering soon. We will also highly recommend you to all of our partners and friends in the cycling world.
Thanks again!

John,
The Championship jerseys came today-- They look great!!!!!!!! Thanks al ot.
I have bragged to everyone about your clothing and the special things you offer at no additional charge. People are always surprised about the unlimited colors - especially if they have been the person in charge of ordering team uniforms (sometimes the racers have no idea about the costs and how they are figured). Hopefully you will get even more orders next season :-)

Dear John,
Wow! I am shocked at how fast the order got here. I was expecting it to take the full 8 weeks if not a little longer. This really made everyone's day that they can give these jerseys as presents for Christmas.
The order checked out, and everything looks great! For a second year in a row Champion has done a great job!
Sincerely, Jared Brooks
I just wanted to say that everyone is thus far very happy with the product. It's definetly the nicest kit we've ever had. The prices are great but on top of that I think you've really exceeded expectations in terms of quality.

I received the skinsuit yesterday and got it to my teammate this morning. He tried it on and its perfect.
By the way, everyone on our team has nothing but good things to say about your clothing. I agree, I like the shorts (especially the shammy) and the way the jerseys breathe. I have some older jerseys that I no longer want to wear because they are not as comfortable. Thanks for geting the skinsuit to me so quickly.
Gary Dugovich

Charlie, The jerseys were a huge success. The quality was amazing and the printing was great. We will be putting in another order for additional jerseys and bibs in a few weeks. I cannot thank you enough for your, and your company's efforts and assistance. I have not been able to say enough good things about Champion System and I believe that you have gained more than one new customer.

Charlie, A big thanks from Team Carolina Triathlon / Ryobi Elite Cycling Team to Champion System for completing our clothing order with quality and AHEAD OF SCHEDULE! The customer service has been great. Champion System has been very easy to work with.
All 8 of our team showed up just a couple hours before our first race of the season to be greeted by our team manager with a bag of goodies for each person. It was out of the plastic bags, onto our bodies, and out on the race course. Right away I was impressed with the quality of materials and craftsmanship. The Chamois was comfortable right out of the package and the cut fit me perfectly. The new kit really solidified our team at the beginning of this season. For the first time I was proud to be in red/white of our team colors.

I wanted to let you know about the response from the team regarding the new apparel. It was a huge success and created the situation because of your minimums that we will be placing an additional order within the next three weeks. There was a triathlon this past weekend along with a 50 mile ride where everybody have their new uniforms on and they looked great. This weekend is the Gulf Coast 1/2 Iron man so the new items arrived in time for this race. The colors are unreal and the comfort of the cycling shorts are great.
Thanks for all of your help during the process

I sent a few pictures to show you how good we looked in them...we had 37 riders. That's me, my wife and grandson.
Again great job looking forward to doing more business w/you...

Hi Charlie,
The Wooly Mammoth kits look great, so great in fact that people have inquired about ordering odds and ends that they did not order last round. Since this is not requiring a redesign, what is the process of submitting subsequent orders? Also, what quotas need to be met on these orders?
Thanks

Charlie & Scott -
I just wanted to let you know that we received the first order of jerseys a few weeks ago and we are very impressed. The design looks great and the jersey may be the best custom jersey I've ever seen. We've gotten stuff from Louis Garneau, Sugoi, Biemme, Giordana, & others, so your stuff sticks out amongst some of the industry leaders.

It should go without saying that I was really impressed by your (John & Champion System) ability to deliver the product so quickly for me. As I stated before, I took a large part of the responsibility for the delays during design but it didn't seem to matter....YOU GUYS JUST GOT IT DONE ANYWAY! You were always prompt in your return of my comments or questions and also I was impressed by the fact that when I called you were there and ready to go! We never played phone-tag.
The Champion System business model is very strong and your price vs features is really second to none! Historically, I've used Castelli (Squadra), Louis Garneau, Voler, and Custom Sublimation.
With all that being said, once I received the clothing I was very impressed with the quality of the garments. Its seems the shorts are very well made and the chamois is very nice too. Its not over the top crazy but instead, just right....comfortable, well fitting, unobtrusive. Secretly, I'm a zipper snob and I was hoping that your jerseys wouldn't disappoint...and they didn't. A full length hidden zipper that is easy to start, easy to zip and has a nice size pull tab is a first for me! Here in TX where we ride through 100-105* summer days (with humidity) a nice full length zipper is a treat. I also have similar feelings about the vest. Have a 2 way zipper is very nice. It really helps to adjust the vent during our coolish mornings that go into warm afternoon rides.
I also want to say job well done on the Tech Polos! They are a really cool item. Everyone was very excited about having an wearing them. They are almost too nice to wear post ride. I could easily find myself wearing it to the mall or a casual dinner. My expectations were exceeded with this item.
The socks are also over very nice quality. They have nice tight stitching, good coloring and nice fit. I do wish that the graphic resolution on this could have turned out better but I'm sure there are limitations when sowing a design into the fabric.

Champion System was selected as our apparel vendor, and I only have good things to say about the way they handled our large order (appx 500 items), their flexibility working with our design/approval process, and the quality of the kits. Charlie is great to work with, and was very helpful in coming up with the great design. We are looking at a long-term relationship with Champion System.
I did a century Saturday and 50+ miles Sunday wearing the kit. The jersey wicks really well, and the padding on the bibshorts performed better than my much more expensive Pearl Izumi.

I have had custom apparel produced for several teams from a few different well known companies and I was asked to help with a small developing team on a budget. I used Champion System because of the small minimum and low prices. I was first impressed with how well Charlie worked with me on getting me samples and working with our art. Charlie was easy to contact and great to work with. Our jerseys arrived within the short time promised and the quality blew me away. I have many brands of jerseys and the one from Champion System is my favorite to wear because of the art, quality and fit. We will be dealing with Champion System for all future custom cycling apparel needs.

Hey Charlie!
I planned on sending you an email this week, but have been busy.
Everything was just perfect with the order. The jersey and bibs turned out beautiful! I was also very pleased that you guys were able to get the whole order out at the same time and way before we were expecting it! I am anticipating ordering some more kits in the near future.
Thanks again for all your hard work! You guys have been really great to work with.

The order arrived today. The jerseys and shorts look fantastic! We really like the way they turned out! Thanks!
Thanks again,

John,
We are absolutely ecstatic about how the clothing turned out. The colors and logos turned out better than expected. Quality is on par with or better than team clothing that I have owned in the past. Already, we have more people requesting additional clothing, which tells me that everyone is excited with what they see. It is great to have the option to create a look that makes us distinct from the other clubs in town. Again, thanks for your help in this endeavor and I am sure we will be getting back to you soon with a reorder for more kits.
Thanks for your attention...

Hi John - we had our event this weekend and the jerseys were very well received! People really liked the fabric and the sleeves. The weather was a bit cool and damp and one person said he was really impressed that he did not feel cold on the down hills. So I am passing that praise on to you.
Thanks again for all your help!

Hope you are doing well. We had our jersey distribution last night and everyone was thrilled with the kits - thanks.

Thanks, We have had such a good response to these uniforms we will probably reorder within 2 weeks, can we do that? Some really want the winter gear! They are all awsome!
John,
WOW, the new stuff looks great! Perfect colors, sharp graphics....I really like how everything turned out. Now I get to play Santa Claus for the team. My guess is that we'll be putting together a re-order in the near future.
Thanks again for all your help.
I like 'em! I am sure the teammates will. And thanks for the prompt as promised service.
We don't actually "race" —we're riding in the Seagull Century on 6 October and we'll be looking good. May order some more after other friends see 'em.

Ed,
I just wanted to let you know how much the team loves the uniforms. The race cut jerseys are really comfortable, the skinsuits fit like a glove and the fabrics are fantastic. We're coming back to you for a second year with a brand new look and a much larger team for you to outfit. Thanks for all the help.

Good Morning, Charlie,
Received our jersey order Friday, and everything looks great! Really like the long sleeve and hope we can sell enough items to place another order after everyone sees how nice they are.
Will be in touch, and thanks again for everything. :)

The Willamette kit arrived today, and I have to say I am delighted. The fit is great, the design turned out right, and it's comfortable clothing. Good stuff. I wanted to thank you for your good work on this project! There's been a lot of interest in the team from new riders, so there's a pretty good chance that I'll do a reorder of some more jerseys in September or October.
Once again, thank you!

Charlie,
We have ordered a full kit in both men and women's sizing (long sleeve jerseys, short sleeve jerseys, sleeveless jerseys, bibs, shorts, skin suits, cross skinsuits, wind vests, wind jackets, winter jackets, caps, gloves, booties, arm and knee warmers). Fit is great, pricing is awesome, turnaround is timely, quality is good. We have shopped around and used every vendor in our team's 10 year history. We have already made a second order. Thanks for your service. Hope to have a team photo to send soon.

The kit arrived Friday and it looks awesome. We will be placing another order ASAP as well. I will let you know in the next couple of weeks when it happens.
BTW - your shammy's are awesome, the first time i used the shorts was on an 350 mile ride and they were a big part of helping me finish 5th and being one of only 24 people to actually finish the race at all.

Dude,
The uniforms are just awesome. I am very happy with the whole deal at Champion System, between the customer service and the quality of the product, you'll have my business and my referrals for a long time coming. I just sent a team from Iowa your way for an order.
I dig it man!
May your holidays be black and miserable, and may you get a really massive cold.
