Jeremy Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Folks, We're planning to get a fleece vest with the logo on it before the Christmas season. Since we don't have much money we have to limit the vest to one color, so I wanted to see which color preference you may have (who were interested in purchasing one, that is). I picked the ones that would be best used with the Geocaching.com logo. Let me know your preference. The logo will be shown no matter what way you reverse the vest.

umc Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Great Idea. Any Idea on the price? Maybe you could take some pre-orders to help with the startup funding for them. Titanium/Black all the way. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Coming Around, New Owner Of a Garmin GPS V Received on 10-03-02 Link to comment
+Web-ling Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Something that will stand out during hunting season. Either the red/black or yellow/black. Link to comment
+bigredmed Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Red and Black, that way I could get double duty at the Hockey games (team colors are red and black). By appointment to the Court of HRM Queen Mikki I. Link to comment

+Strix Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 I'd buy a goldenrod/black or a red/black. Thanks Jeremy! "When the chips are down, the buffalo ate birds." Link to comment
Tahosa and Sons Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Yes Geo Santa I've been a good boy. I would like a nice Hunter Green / Blue vest. Green for the Irish in me and Blue for my Norwegian wife. Ufda do I like these. Tahosa - Dweller of the moutain tops. Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Thanks for the opportunity to vote. If only LL Bean and Columbia Sportswear ran their online stores this way.... My vote is for yellow/black, for three reasons: 1. It stands out in the woods during hunting season, when I'm most likely to be wearing a vest. 2. Black and Gold ... go Steelers, Pens and Pirates! 3. I want to be all color-coordinated if I'm ever out geocaching and meet the woman who's modeling the vest. x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x What if the Hokey Pokey IS what it's all about?

+ClayJar Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 My opinion on the red and goldenrod is as quite similar to my feelings on salt while cooking. It's a lot easier to add garishness than to take it away. Seriously, though, I *wouldn't* buy/wear a red or goldenrod fleece by any stretch of the imagination (and in a Christmas play, it'd be a stretch). I can add blaze orange to my outfit really easily, but I can't take excessive brightness away. I voted for hunter/navy out of respect for those who would say I wear too little color already, but going to goldenrod or red... please no. ClayJar the Earthtoned Link to comment
Dru Morgan Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 As long as it is reversable like the photo, that is the one for me. It will match my Mini Cooper S that I am dreaming about getting. Why are you allowed to argue passionately about Michael Jordan vs. Magic Johnson; why can people talk about horoscopes, astrology, reincarnation, drunken parties, one-night-stands, radical drug highs and the details of their sex lives...but I can't talk about my personal faith in Jesus Christ?

umc Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Yellow dirties too easily. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Coming Around, New Owner Of a Garmin GPS V Received on 10-03-02 Link to comment
Jeremy Posted October 15, 2002 Author Share Posted October 15, 2002 Because it is a higher end, reversible fleece and nylon waterproof vest, with embroidery on both sides, the cost for manufacturing and shipping them through our vendor is $47.99. It does sound like we may have to get two colors, based on the votes. I'll give it a couple of days. It's an expensive proposition so I want to make sure we get a good sampling. I personally have a bright yellow fleece vest. It's great for the woods. I really haven't noticed it getting any dirtier than any other color.

+briansnat Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Being from NJ, which is near NY, of course I want black. Hunter is OK and and so is Navy. Hey, what can I say, I'm a conservative "Life is a daring adventure, or it is nothing" - Helen Keller Link to comment
umc Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 The more colors the better if you can. I know that if you went with Yellow I don't know that I would want one then. I'm sure others would feel the same about a color that they didn't vote for. I like neutral colors myself so the more neutral the better. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Coming Around, New Owner Of a Garmin GPS V Received on 10-03-02 Link to comment
The Champions Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 I reckon either the Hunter Green/Navy or the Navy/Navy, as a subdued colour can be easily highlighted if preferred as opposed to a loud colour which can't be toned down so to speak. To please most, offer one dark tone and one bright. Níall Niall Link to comment
+ClayJar Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Well, I've been pondering and listening and chatting and such, and I'll concede my Hunter/Navy vote to Goldenrod/Black. Since I won't be wearing this as formal attire (what's that?), and it's good to be visible in the colder months, I've been convinced that Goldenrod/Black is a reasonable choice. (GAACK! Did I just say I'd vote for yellow?!? ) Link to comment
+Mopar Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Well, being in the Soprano State like Brian, my personal tastes run to black as well. The yellow/black reversible is perfect, because I can wear it as black in public, and switch to the "MUCH safer in the woods during the fall hunting season when I'm gonna actually wear a vest" yellow.

ikayak Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 I already voted for goldenrod and black. I am glad to see you are all wanting to wear CU colors with me... Go BUffs! **************************************************** Quote me as saying I was mis-quoted. Link to comment

+Planet Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Blue hides the dirt best. Almost all of our camping gear is blue. I like green, it hides me best. I would buy one if it were Hunter/Navy! Cache you later, Planet Link to comment
Cache Canucks Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 quote:Originally posted by Jeremy Irish:"...it is a higher end, reversible fleece and nylon waterproof vest, with embroidery on both sides..." Just curious, judging by the photo, is the first colour listed in the colour combos the 'nylon' side, with the second colour the 'fleece' side (ie: 'hunter/navy' translates to 'hunter nylon/navy fleece')? Either way, I'm still a 'hunter/navy' proponent (a yellow car might be fun to drive for a week or two when it's bright and new, but try living with one for a couple of years...). Link to comment
+Mopar Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 But make sure you notice that the hot blonde likes the Goldenrod/Anthacite (Anthracite sounds so much classier then black, don't it?) vest the best. Go with the gold, get the girl! Illegitimus non carborundum! Link to comment
umc Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Maybe if your another chick Mopar but I think the real man wears Titanium/Black. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Coming Around, New Owner Of a Garmin GPS V Received on 10-03-02 Link to comment

+Wander Lost Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 I had to vote for Hunter as well. It's one of my favorite colors and MG1 usually doesn't wear anything lighter than black. If ignorance is bliss, why aren't there more happy people?? Link to comment
Salvo Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 The black is great for the subdued thing, but the yellow will be good for safety -I had to flag a boater down once for assistance. Though I wouldn't have been wearing the vest on that hot muggy summer day.... Link to comment
Jeremy Posted October 16, 2002 Author Share Posted October 16, 2002 Titanium sort of lost its wind. I'll leave the poll on for a couple more days. Thanks for the votes so far! Jeremy Irish Groundspeak - The Language of Location Link to comment
+Gimpy Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 Very nice!! I'd prefer the Golderod/Black, as the bright color would be nice during hunting seasons. I wear blaze orange as well, but the added bright coloring would be a plus. Whatever wins, count me for an order of at least one. Nice stuff, Jeremy! "Gimpy" Link to comment
+ClayJar Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 quote:Originally posted by Jeremy Irish:Titanium sort of lost its wind. Actually, I expected that. Personally, I'd very much like to have a Titatium/Coal fleece vest, but if we'd more evenly split the Hunter/Navy votes with Titanium/Coal, the Goldenrod/Anthracite vote would have completely run away with the totals. I imagine at least a few people are voting for Hunter/Navy over Titanium/Coal because they'd rather have Hunter/Navy win than Goldenrod/Anthracite. Link to comment
+orange Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 I voted for Royal/Black. But Wish you had Orange/Black. I am orange and like to wear my namesake color. Link to comment

+SamLowrey Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 I'm with ClayJar - I don't wear bright colors. Unless you count Royal (which I don't usually wear) - Royal/Titanium would look sharp! (I think....too bad we can't see all the combinations). Hey, how about cammo? Desert/treeline cammo! Hunters are never a concern for me....being hunted (intentionally) is. Oh well, I vote Titanium/Black... Link to comment
Jeremy Posted October 16, 2002 Author Share Posted October 16, 2002 Thanks everyone! I'm going with the Hunter/Navy colors for the first go-around. I'm going to post an additional poll to make sure we make the right sizes for people. I personally liked the Goldenrod but understand people's hesitation to wear such bright clothing.
