Chicago District Tartan

I voted for no.4 but no.2 was a very close second.
The colors and the history attached to no.4 were my reasons to vote for it. As for no.2 I just like the look of the tartan.

Oh....DARN ANOTHER kilt to buy! Shucks! ;-)

Former Chicagoan tossing my 2 bits on the table. I like #4, but think they'd ALL look good with a Chicago Police leather jacket.

YEAH!!! FINALLY!!! #4 looks best to me I can see it as a kilt easily...I've been looking everywhere else for a tartan of my home town!!! Born Chicagoan, now a Houstonian...dont hold that against me folks, cut me and I bleed Cubs Blue and Blackhawks Red!!! Looking forward to getting this for sure! As for a kilt pin design how about a crossed "broken" baseball bat and a tommy gun under a "crown" thats a pair of brass knuckles... the wierd ideas keep coming...a sporran made from bear skin that has a bear claw as a flap????

Well, Brewboy, this thread has come back to life. Looks like we need to forge ahead with trying to get this moving.

Man that would be so GREAT if you guys could get it approved!!! I know PLENTY of snow birds down here that would order it in a heart beat, yours truly included!!!!!

Howdy all, just checkin if any progress might have possibly been made on this subject yet??? Curious is all, would be nice to be able to wear my home town colors proudly!

Born and raised on in Wrigleyville, so I'm definately interested. #2 or #4 would be great!

I haven't read all the responses, but Aldisimo hit it right on the head. Other than #4, they all look like tartan breeches on a Chistmas Santa doll to me.

But then, I'm not too crazy about any red tartans although I own one myself.

I saw Brewboy last night and he said it would probably take a while. We would need to get it voted on in the city council and he's too busy right now to promote it.
