Team Tartans?

[Shay]

Alright, as all the Yanks know Superbowl is coming up this weekend. As everyone knows, we tend to get a little crazy around this time.

I'm wondering- there's tartans for areas, jobs, and all sorts of gatherings, why not tartans for teams?

Would you like to see one? Why or why not? (not just for American football, either)

I'd think if we integrated the love of sports and tartans, there would be a lot more guys who would try a kilt. Men who wouldn't touch sweatpants with a ten-foot pole will happily wear a team jersey or sweatshirt, y'know?

And anyone in the area is welcome to come by on Sunday, we've got a spread planned and lotsa beer!

EDIT: An online search just turned this up:

So it does exist... but unsurprsingly in Scotland. Would it be worth it for other countries to try it out?

Actually, I was thinking most teams have three main colors (For the Eagles it's green, black and silver, for the Flyers it's orange, black and white, etc) that could make up an actual tartan pattern.

Although with football kilts, there'd be a heck of a lot of people confused about the 'yardage!'

I have alway said that if I ever won powerball (Multistate lottery for those who don't know) I would have a tartan for each team, it would take into account history of the team etc, so the Bills would be Navy and Red with light blue and white highlights. I am sure it would be a niche market but it might open eyes to some men to wear the kilt. I don't know if it would help, but I certainly would have a lot more kilts if it didn't :-) Powerball dreams are great aren't they.


Now if someone wins powerball and uses my idea don't forget about me

While I'm not a big Steelers fan, I am rooting for them this weekend.

I think I it covered...

Most of the major fitba' (real football!) teams in Scotland have their own tartans: Rangers, Hearts, Hibs, Celtic.

Up the Jambos! ;)

I'm getting a vision of kilt vendors outside of the stadiums displaying their kilts. I bet it would increase the number of men wearing kilts. And imagine all the men in the stadium seats clad in the tartan of their favorite team. Just so one side doesn't start mooning the other side when their favorite team scores a touchdown! :grin:

A Stars tartan in black, green, & gold would be nice.
