Blue & Gold tartans- again

[OC Richard]

Burnett's & Struth, kiltmakers, have a beautiful corporate tartan in blue and gold.

Any photos of a kilt made up in it? Thanks! Richard

Richard,

If you go to the Burnett and Struth website, they have photos of a kilt in the corporate tartan (the old pipe band kilts are for sale). If you google "Burnett and Struth Pipe Band" you can see a few photos of bandsman in the tartan. I personally really like the tartan.

Slainte,

Bjarg Jonsson

Sligo is one. Couldn't find a kilt pic though.

My alma mater, the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, has a tartan though I've never seen it in person.

Trying to find a picture of the tartan itself I can post, but here at least is an article about the new Yellow and Blue WVU Mountaineer tartan:

Tartan scarves and blankets available here:

Best I can tell it has only been woven into fabric intended for scarves and blankets, and not formally into tartan material, although it is supposedly now officially registered, so the thread count should be available at one of the registries if you were interested in having a custom weave done. Unfortunately, IMHO I think the yellow predominant color scheme makes it somewhat less desirable as a choice for kilt tartan, unless you really like yellow/gold. Not an unattractive tartan otherwise.

Thank you Kenneth for pulling that out and posting it directly. I have still not quite figured out how to poach somebody else's photo to include in my own post, unless the picture clearly gives me a photo signature link when I right click on it. Job well done.

That is the new WVU tartan as of October 2011. Simple, like me (native born WV so that is appropriate) but a bit too yellow for my personal tastes. According to my relatives in WV they are selling the scarves and blankets like hotcakes in this new tartan. Kinda wished they had inverted the Navy blue and Yellow in the pattern, would have made it much more appealing potential kilt tartan.

my eye was struck just now by the lovely University of Glasgow ex-hire kilts I just saw on Ebay

Drat! I wish I had noticed this thread when you first posted it, particularly as an alumnus of Montana State University.

Edit: My mistake, they're still available. I used the wrong search terms:

Michigan State University is another blue/gold school.


...and Gordon is another blue/gold tartan, albeit a Clan tartan.

The WVU tartan just showed up on the Tartan Register a few days ago:

My friend Mike Pockoski has a nice 8 yard pleated to stripe in the Holyrood gold. He's sent me pictures, I'll ask him if I can post them.
