I see no problem with the original, in fact I like the tartan and think is should be worn as part of the Castle's history. But I don't think just because something is historical makes it better than something new or something new is better than historical just because it is new.

Change is hard to accept especially when it is hard to identify the need for the change.
I would echo Scotus comments; I see nothing wrong with a simple question as to why the new tartan was adopted.

I also agree with your last statement, which contradicts your first somewhat: without an answer as to why this tartan came about when HS already has a tartan, it is hard to explain the need for a change.
