Jeth 0 #1 October 10, 2006 Ok, opinions please. There is one pic of my original design and then some alternatives (different pinstriping and tie-dye location) I had no idea what to pick, there are so many options to choose! I'm still not sure I will like this on the actual rig. I just know I love purple and yellow. You can be honest. Does this work? Thanks! "At 13,000 feet nothing else matters." PFRX!!!!!

rehmwa 2 #4 October 10, 2006 QuoteI think it looks like a seasick Strongbad vomiting on himself. I think you're being easy on him. That might be the ugliest design I've ever seen.

yardhippie 0 #5 October 10, 2006 its awfully busy for me. Also, some of those colors may not wear well over time, affecting resale. it may be a long time in the future, but you probably be selling it at some time. but then again what do I know. My rig is solid black.

Plus, with that Pop Top, if you loose your freebag and have to replace it, it will most definately not look right because of sun fading issues.

Jeth 0 #12 October 10, 2006 Oh, gee, guess I'm a geek... I kinda like the tye-dye. But actually, the only reason I put it on there is cuz it's a free option this month. Ok, its too busy? Geez, and I thought I wasn't using enough colors! So should I get rid of the blue parts? What color is it U think won't age well? Are there objections to the purple/yellow combination? I think white looks nice with purple, but I didn't want to get white cuz it'll get dirty fast. Thanks, guys! BTW, I'm a girl. "At 13,000 feet nothing else matters." PFRX!!!!!

NWFlyer 2 #13 October 10, 2006 Lose the tie-dye and replace it with adjacent colors. Post it again and let's see. I think it's got potential, though as others have said, the color fading may be an issue."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

yardhippie 0 #19 October 10, 2006 On a serious note. its YOUR rig. Do what ever makes you happy. What ever you get, you have to live with until you sell it! dont listen to us unless you REALLY arent sure what you want. Ive seen the purple on older Wings fade over time. I have not had any experience with newer ones for a while. Other bad choices: Pink, Orange, florecent green all have been traditionally bad to fade.Goddam dirty hippies piss me off! ~GFD "What do I get for closing your rig?" ~ me "Anything you want." ~ female skydiver Mohoso Rodriguez #865 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JENNR8R 0 #24 October 10, 2006 It looks better without the tie dye, but I don't like the blue with the purple. I wouldn't buy it used because of the color as it is now. Personal preference is one thing, but if you intend to resell it, go more neutral.What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday.
