Hello all,

I thought this was interesting. A friend of mine told me about it the morning in class and so I got a chance to look at it.
The poll closes tonight but I thought it would be interesting to share.

There are three choices for an Official UA tartan. Here is the link

Now I have to rush to history so I won't know if the link works or not.

Happy Kilting! and for this occasion, Roll Tide.

The link works, but apparently too well. The message says that the online voting has crashed due to too many voters.
I picked #3, by the way.

Could it have garnet and black footprints all over it?

Go Gamecocks.

It'll lose to the South Carolina tartan.

Only if it has two weeks to prepare.

Hopefully we'll get to see the Gamecocks again at the SEC championship.

Not if we can help it....

Geaux Tigers!

BTW, I like #1 best.

Moderators,
Per the rules...this thread borders on talking about religion.

War Eagle.

Oops, you're right Shawhighlander.

And at first, I liked #3 the best but then I went and looked at them again and think I like #1 a little more. It actually has a description for the colors and it seems that the creator has some knowledge about UA history (for example, a small red line for what UA's football team used to be called).

Poor number 2 doesn't seem to have a lot of support. I think the designer doesn't like football and is wanting to focus on all students and our paths on campus. . . unfortunately, I don't like the white field, no matter how much I like her meanings behind the design. . . or the fact that it has green in it.

As long as #1 or #3 win, I'll be happy. Then I'll have to save up my money to get a kilt in it.
