Time for a New York State tartan?

I agree NY state should have it's own tartan, I've always admired New York City tartan and your design is equal in every way. I'd be proud to stand next my New York cousins in my Ontario tartan.

I think it's very nice. I live in NJ, but I would gladly buy a kilt in that tartan. Really nice job, and great eye for color combination.

Thanks, Grant. I live about an hour South of the border on the East end of Lake Ontario and value the friends I have in Canada. I have been to Montreal a few times on vacation and have visited a few places in Ontario and have always felt at home there.

I'm not familiar with the Ontario tartan, but I do like the Maple leaf!

Colours include red and white with three shades of green and two of blue. The greens symbolise the forests and fields of Ontario and the blues depict the huge expanses of water in the province. The First Nations (Canadian Indians) of Ontario are represented by the red, and the sky over the province is depicted by white.

My thoughts are it must've been a cloudy day outside when the designer sat down with paper and pencil crayons.

While there are some differences [Red among them], Grant's photo shows that your design will make for a very nice kilt. As a life-long New Yorker, let me add my approval to that given by others. I say go for it!
