Possibly the World's ugliest Tartan

Well to be fair that's not even a full swatch of the material. I'd have to see it at least by the yard or better yet in kilt form to pass true judgment. I'm not sure about the khaki, but it might look nice. But then, I have no problems with the Buchanan tartan either, when some that share ties to the clan think it's gaudy.

No I'm not too keen on it. Too Clan MacTablecloth for my liking.
In my opinion, many of these new town or district tartans try to incorporate too many colours.

I agree, it is an ugly tartan. Now, I wonder how long before Panache has a kilt made in it?

It's kind of like Burburry Check for the 1960's suburbs. I'm afraid that it just doesn't do anything for me but then I'm not a fan of "Victoriana"

The pink and turquoise just don't belong there. Take those away and it's not that bad.

No disrespect for my neighbors to the north, but not a few Canadian tartans are potential candidates for this title. Look at these:

Yukon

Syndey, Nova Scotia

Ottawa

And try looking through some of the various tartans for Quebec cities sometime...!

Of course, there are some truly attractive Canadian tartans, as well. Maple Leaf, Nova Scotia, PEI, Manitoba, Geulph, Kincardine (Ontario), etc. And to be fair, there are some hideous tartans for American states. Anyone from Ohio?

Yeah, Ohio's tartan looks pretty tacky to me. Very "bicentennial." Then again, have you seen our flag?

I have to admit I've never liked the American Bicentennial tartan. The great mass of white stripes against the thicker background colors makes it look mismatched.

The Sydney tartan isnt too bad, I like the orange in it. It reminds me of the Irn-Bru tartan.

Actually, Ohio's flag is unique in the fact that it and only one other flag in the world (Nepal) do not take the standard rectangular shape -- Ohio's flag is a burgee, and loosely based on a Cavalry guidon.
