UPS tartans-what can brown do in a kilt?

Interesting, UPS registered two restricted tartans to celebrate golf and their sponsorship of a number of gold tournaments on the Euro tour. I wonder if these will actually be made into kilts for drivers, or just tournament volunteers, or what.

I saw these in my e-mail from the tartan registry this morning. Not sure yet about my opinion.

I like the deeper gold color over the lighter but I'm more interested in the inspiration of the sett. My first thought was it was the barcode structure for "UPS". Interesting that they went with what I believe is an asymmetrical sett. I would not expect a company to take such a unique direction when trying to present/adopt a traditional image.

I like that one better also.

As I said I think this tartan is for their European business-who knows, maybe we'll see it here, but I doubt it.

I think it looks like a barcode printed on a broken printer!
