Rogers Tartan

[Woodsheal]

Hey, thanks! Don't apologize -- that's the kind of feedback I need. Here is an example of what my first ideas for the tartan looked like:



Or



Much more of the dark earthtones of the ranger's garb. Perhaps I was on the right track the first time around!

I like the 2nd one best. Ranger colors combined with flag colors (both US and Great Britain!)....

You obviously like blue, a bit like Bell of the borders tartan. It seems to be a more modern trend whereas the older tartans were more greens and reds. Looks nice all the same. Don't suppose you're any relation to Roy then?

I like green a lot too, but blue seemed the more appropriate emphasis color.

Funny you should ask about Roy Rogers -- as far as I know, I'm not related to the Roy Rogers. But Roy used to be a common name in my family, and my father, Jim, who was born in 1940, was due to be named Roy. Fortunately for my dad, Grandma Rogers put her foot down and insisted on waiting for the next boy in hopes that the movie star Roy Rogers faded away. He didn't, the next boys were named Joel, William, and David, and the name Roy has died out in my family.

Nice tartans. I like the first one you showed.

My grandmother was a Rogers, so I've enjoyed your history lessons.

Thanks.

I like the designs, too.

<chortle> As arrScott could probably tell you, Roy's family name was Slye.
