Foundation launches Sens TartanScottish and Irish Store place to find wide array of new clothingWednesday, 17.12.2008 / 3:11 PM / Features By Rob Brodie The Ottawa Senators now have a tartan to call their own.

The Scottish and Irish Store, in conjunction with the hockey club and the Sens Foundation, have launched the Sens Tartan. Designed by one of the largest woollen mills in Scotland, it incorporates the Senators team colours and was created to build a cultural connection with the 40 per cent of the Ottawa-area population that has a British and Irish heritage.

The Senators are the first National Hockey League team to have its own tartan, which has been registered with the Scottish Tartan Authority.

With each purchase, 14 per cent of the proceeds will be donated to Roger's House through the Sens Foundation.

I say go for it, but try to involve the team some how, and a charity and you might have better luck.

I have a kilt in the Cladish tartan from USAK http://www.usakilts.com/store/cas_kiltpage.php that I am very fond of, so your Browns tartan looks great. Although I do like the suggestion of adding the green line for the grass/astroturf. But I say go for it! Living near Knoxville, I do know that there is a Volunteer (UT Knoxville) tartan, so why not some NFL tartans?

Were can i find the Big Orange Tartan? Please tell me please

Its the orange one. For kilt length it would be a custom run, but for a tie you can purchase that from the UT Bookstore website.

GO VOLS!

I really like the color combination but it feels a bit too much like a table cloth. I'm with Rex, try varying the design a bit, add a bit more complexity and I think it will be first and goal.

[Wild Macrae]

It's a great idea, but I've got to agree with the recommendation to make the design a little more complex, because as is, it reminds me of my family's couch from my youth. Like I said though, it's a great idea!

I should tell you to brace yourself for the cost of the custom weave, though. It's gonna be pricey...

That is, unless you can convince 19 other good friends that they need a similar kilt. Then you can get a bunch woven by a production weaver, like Fraser and Kirkbright and the cost per yard comes way, way down.

19 Browns fans? - Maybe tough to find, even in Cleveland!

You're off to a good start, but I agree with the comments about the need for some more complexity.

Oh, and if you want a football sporran made, go to Janet Eagleton, the lady who's done it:

A team tartan and football sporran... over the top? No way.
The fact that you're a Brown's fan... can't help you with that.

[M. A. C. Newsome]

Just one word of caution -- if you plan on desiging a tartan and calling it "Cleveland Browns" you really might want to get the OK from the Football Club. Most ball clubs are pretty protective of their name and images, as they should be.

[Inchessi]

This "Cleveland Browns" group you refer to, are they a arena league? Maybe a farm team for a football team, like say the Broncos? Or maybe the Colts?

I couldn't help myself, The colors are complementary, making it a good looking tartan.
