tour t-shirts
Posted By Nick on Monday 8 March 2010 at 01:59 pm  - Quote

Nominate your colour for tour t-shirt! Simply state your colour of choice with perhaps an explanation a to why it should be chosen. In the past the colours have been
Amsterdam 2005: orange (the dutch national colour)
Antwerp 2006: light blue
Duesseldorf 2007: red
Paris 2008: green

There was no tour in 2009 so maybe a colour that says to you "EUWB takes blowing harder, tonguing quicker and fingering faster from strength to strength"! RE:

well done nick for figuring it out!! =P

the belgian colours would suggest white which is boring or red but that's been done quite recently...
so how about pink? a mix of red and white and nothing says "i'm a heavy drinker" quite like a man carrying a big brass instrument and wearing a beauiful shade of baby pink...or a nice purple for that matter.

otherwise, I would suggest dark blue...because...erm...i don't have any tshirts in that colour? and and and its a variation on the last antwerp one...only potentially a little more sinister. RE:

as red (the REAL national colour of belgium, sallie, none of this white crap - has wikipedia been outrageously lieing to you again?) has already been taken by the 2007 tour, i would suggest either yellow or black.

yellow would be my preference, but if you want to be more belgian, i'd say black. RE:

I'm with Sallie and Stephen: Purple and yellow are good contenders but black wouldn't work too well, especially as we're doing concerts outdoors (I imagine)in summer. So either Purple or 'sunflower yellow' and erring on yellow as it's the central colour of the Belgian flag. RE:

Please no black! I would say purple as a first choice as we've no had that in recent years. Then maybe yellow... RE:

please not yellow!! it's the one bright colour I can't wear...if you dress me in yellow, it WILL look like i'm about to keel over and die a slow and miserable death...and with the inevitable hangover, this will be even more obvious.
and i'd say no to black...
can we get multicoloured t-shirts? that would be fun...

purple?! we're not going to bloody latvia!
or, how about we have every section in a different colour? RE:

The t-shirts will be a (single) uniform colour for the band, but there is a near infinite choice for that colour so you could be quit imaginative in your suggestions! RE:

Not any of those colours please. Vom. I think a nice shade of blue should do it.
Plus if we wore Belgium colors we'd just look like epic tourists, and we don't want that now, do we? :p RE:
