Hi everyone, I originally posted this to the Commuting forum, but think it's better served in this one.
I'm a cyclist who's started a side business and would like your feedback. I've developed full custom cycling jerseys that humanize cyclists to drivers behind them through personalized "I AM" messaging. I've posted a pic below. The idea being: drivers need to see you as a human being, not an object. Initial customers and test riders are finding that the jersey does help improve safety (though it's by no means a silver bullet that will stop all jerks from being dangerous). As a startup, any feedback will be great!
Thanks, Neal

Other than writing 'Police' or 'FBI', I would be concerned with drivers focusing too much on reading the jersey while they drift towards you.
But let us know if it seems to work for you.

I used to have a jersey that didn't have "I am", just
VOTER
TAXPAYER
CYCLIST
Not sure where that went...

Try "FIB" " FUZ" and for the kids "I'm Sponge BOB"

I want one that says:
I AM
a Fred
But that it's pretty obvious already...

1 Seems like any other message I've had on a jersey ends up being an idiot magnet.

That's an oxymoron. It's not very "concealed" if it's advertised.

That's an oxymoron. It's not very "concealed" if it's advertised.
Not oxymoron: if gun is out of sight, it is still concealed, especially from a legal standpoint. If it was not concealed, it would be open carry -- but sure, a holstered weapon over your jersey would probably get the point across, too, or an AK slung across your back.
But really, I'm just talking about wearing a jersey that says as much -- if you're not actually carrying, it's more like a lie...

Looks to be a pretty good idea. Good luck.

Great idea. How about I AM NOT A DEER, for those drivers who always claim "I thought I hit a deer?

Can you make one that says
I AM
GOING
TO RUN
THIS LIGHT
?
