    one of those "argyles" looks more like a plaid.

    I'll have to go back and vote tonight after I ruminate on the selection some more....

    That was a really hard choice. The nicest design imo (the predominately navy kit -- I think it was #4?) had a boring color scheme that I really didn't like. The kit with the color scheme I liked best (the one that's close to what they appear to wear now, white with light aqua and tangerine), was only getting 11% of the vote, so I felt like it was a wasted vote -- plus I was sort of on the fence about the design. I almost compromised on the one that looks like an argyle sweatervest (#1), but I just couldn't live with those orange pockets just stuck on the back like that, and the white team logo also sort of disappeared on that one.

    I broke down and voted for the navy one even though I don't like the colors (maybe they'll look better/be less muted and dead on fabric), because I kept finding fatal flaws with all of the others.

    I'd be curious to know what others voted for and why!

    I voted for #4 too, but that's because I really like dark colors. I thought it was the most elegant design. (Now whether racing kit should even *try* to be elegant is another matter!)

    #4 for me too.
    Style all over it.
    And I like navy and orange coz even colour-blind people can see them. (Like my Dad (dec'd) and both my ds'es)

    I voted #5. I chose it just based on instant gut appeal (and lack of appeal of all the others), before even looking at the vote %, then saw that it had the highest % of of votes.

    The predominant color of blue in it is just about my favorite color and the design just appealed to me the most of all of 'em. Not crazy about the whole argyle theme, but when forced to decide, that's my pick.
