A fine vertical yellow line on either side might work nicely to tie in with the pinstripe... if that's an option.
@thomashouseman - because Rule #27 and Rule ##7. Can't have no shorty socks messin' with my tan lines!

But, I have to confirm details before starting and will note that Tineli are a bit slow off the mark at the moment so I have put in a second request, the criteria is a high-quality kit - will mean a few less orders but on the flip-side, satisfaction and longetivity.
So back to ordering, it may be slower that you need - but similarly, worth the wait

Still interested in details on package pricing and ordering as the information comes to hand.

These are recent photos, the light changes the effect, but in the top photo it appears slightly darker blue. In the second photo (black jersey) the blue is the same, but appears lighter. The third photo is of my kit fantastic condition still after about two years - photo taken with plenty of light but in a shaded area.

I was assume smaller order numbers for vests - but will proceed if there is interest.
Gloves are an option, while matching gloves are nice - custom gloves wouldn't come cheap.
Be rest assured, top quality is a top criteria. This means it isn't a budget kit, quality cycling gear is worth it, though I still want to make it competitive and cheaper than retail.

The big news
Yes, a new supplier and will a big focus on a premium quality kit.
Jersey
- 2 colours (as before) remains
- Reflective but a different format. Rather than the 'H' there are tabs (pics coming soon)
- No flatloc, but high quality comfortable stitching
- Waterproof smartphone pocket with internal cable guides
BibKnicks
- A new style of elastic cuff - extremely comfortable
- A 'premium' Chamois - I review today and am opting for a higher quality chamois that will be more comfortable
Vest
- Armless wind/splash vest (BNA blue)
Gloves
- photos coming, wont be cheap but will be available
Let's talk about socks
- Socks are not available from the supplier, but I will see if I can find another supplier and match it all up
BNA Caps
- Still have stock, and they still look awesome
What's it all going to cost?
I am doing the calculations now and need to confirm first. What I can say, I am opting for 'premium' options such as a better chamois and the elastic cuffs on the knicks. Even the reflective and the discrete smart phone pocket all add to the overall price.
I am aware that this may put the kit of of reach of some members. I have also recognised the effect of having the higher priced quality kit, a long lasting kit which BNA members are still wearing today and which still looks good without quality issues on day 1 or day 500.
Main focus is putting together a good jersey and knicks deal.
Design
Based on the existing design, the new kit will be enchanced with the BNA Gold (colour) thin strips as shown in the previous graphic. The blue colour will be modified to create a more brilliant blue, this is a minor shift. The logo on the back pocket increased - but I will prepare the layouts and also so the final layouts so you can view.
Timing
January is realistic for delivery. It means a short order period to get the numbers and the process will be the same as the last 3 rounds with the pre-order (and payment). A small disclaimer, I quality still has priority, so am prepared to delay if need be to clarify / confirm / etc. As with the last 3 rounds, would keep everyone up-to-date.
Happy for questions, and more details are on the way.

My suggestion was grey-on-black... but the blue is pretty awesome. Will look great with the yellow stripes! \m/

Here is an offer - if other colours are demanded, such as pink, this is an option, we can even get your name on it. The catch is that the price for these one-offs will much higher - but the kit will be top quality and I will support to make it happen!
