Chicago District Tartan

Ahhhh...A Chicago Tartan. Yeah, baby!

I am from Chicago...now lost in Tokyo. I think it is great that someone is trying to get a Chi-town tartan regestered.
I like 2. I would wear it in a heartbeat. Everyone likes #4 but it looks too much like other tartans in my mind. I also like #3. Hard choice.

Maybe you should submit a North Sider tartan and a seporate South Sider tartan...Any other Chicagoans agree? (North Sider here...Go Cubbies!!!)

Maybe we can get Turpin to make Northside and Southside sporrans. The Southside one would have a World Series trophy on the flap, and the Northside one a choking bear.

I like #1, only because it looks the best to me in an imagined kilt form.

Someone now has to make up a kilt pin with four six pointed stars.

My maternal grandfather was born in Evanston at a location that has now become part of the Northwestern Univ campus.

I am a Chicago area resident and kilt wearer. They are all nice but to me #2,3, and 4 look too much like other tartans. I would like #1 a lot better if it had more blue in it since Chicago blue has a strong appeal to me. #1 has a different look to it and Chicago is a distinctive city which requires a tartan that has its own look.

My favourite is probably 2. 1 and 4 would both look nice too I'm sure.

I'll throw my hat in with #2! Has quite the Holiday-feel to it, to me. If I had to pick a second, it would be #4, although it a little dark.

I really like the unique look of #3. It was a hard pick between #3 and #4. I chose #3. #1 may be a lttle too red (I like it though) and #2 looked a little "Christmasy" as Aldisimo stated.

I really like #1 and #4, but I think #1 is most distinctive. While I like the historical associations of #4, it seems close to a number of existing tartans.

I'm not particularly keen on either #2 or #3.... The red/green combo comes across as being too Chistmas-y for my personal taste.

Personally, I'm for number 4. We'll just have to keep in mind (from what Barb said), that we won't be able to pleat any of these to the stripe).
