Butler's shirt is amazingly peacockish, but SB is right, it falls outside the regs. And PTWilliams' polo looks turquoise, right? That should be fine...

Poll is going up shortly, as my hangover vanishes.

I voted clapeyron and jphardy

I think a bold colored shirt works best with a monochrome jacket and tie. (grey/grey, grey/black, navy/navy, navy/black, etc.)

Another example

It would appear that most of us are generally guided by earth, sea, and sky in our shirting choices...


most not all. :)

FTFY

It would have been amusing if Diaz had put entered our names in the poll as Claps and Clags.

Looking at posts back to back, we both have similar letter placements in our names, both have "Hall Monitor" in red, and both have black and white avatars. To **** with people, I'll change my avatar picture to Merkin Muffley if you add "Seoul, South Korea" as your location.
