Trying to design a tartan for my Alma matter Boston University

[Rogerson785]

Keith,

I cannot think of any other colors that would have any significance, so scarlet, white, grey, and either gold or yellow should make a nice tartan. I could add green or dark blue to represent the Charles River, and then there are all the trees that one sees in various states throughout the year.

Now just have to decide on the warp stripping and the weft striping pattern.

Chris - To represent the Charles that I remember, you would need to add BROWN!

Sounds like a reasonable list...Anything I can help with let me know.

I am surprised how even in Scotland not all universities appear to have an official tartan.

I haven't found one for St Andrews so I intend to investigate this further and try to start the ball rolling if necessary.
