St. Patrick's Tartan...
I'm wi' you, Jimmy...I've always liked the St. Patrick's Tartan.
I'd like to see a variant of it, or maybe even a new tartan all together, that incorporates "St. Patrick's Blue", which is a light blue colour. Few folks realise that light blue is the traditional & ancient colour associated with St. Patrick -- green only came about in the 19th century with the rise of the Irish nationalist movement.
The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers'(IBEW) "Sword of Light" Pipe Band has an eye-catching light blue kilt:

The IBEW is my Dad's union, btw -- I would love to get him one of their patches for his insignia collection!
Cheers, 
T.
