Carolina, NC and SC Tartans

[M. A. C. Newsome]

No problem linking to my blog. Thanks for the compliments!

There are many states that have unofficial tartans, but what really bugs me in this case is that these new tartans were designed and are being promoted *after* the Carolina tartan was officially adopted by both states. Too little too late!

Officer Matt,
You are in the "Tartan Police" :rolleyes:

Your "badge" says so.
(Isn't that what the "Tartan Museum" is? :rolleyes: )

Scary part is that I might be getting close too. I actually know many of the "real" and "fashion" tartans, as well as which tartans I have are "real," which are "almost" real (slight, and not so slight, variations on the correct pattern/count), which are likely not, and which are "just for the colors." I could ID many of the tartans and "tartans" at the games, at least
Maybe some of us should make "Tartan Police" badges for real.

I wonder what "the people" would think?

I saw that booth, and walked by it twice thinking "That sure doesn't look like the Carolina tartan...and why are there two?"

I hope the organizers of the Greenville Games (and all the other local games for that matter) have a chance to read Matt's article.

Now I want a kilt in the Carolina...anyone here know a good kiltmaker???

[M. A. C. Newsome]

No, none at all. Dang if there were only a couple of kiltmakers on this board... :-)
