When dealing with Red, White & Blue as your primary colors you really only have a few options. There are few if any white dominant tartans that are not considered dancers tartans. So that leaves red dominant and blue dominant. So the fact that many end up \looking similar is not unusual. Although I like the USA Bicentennial tartan, and have long considered a kilt in it, I can see how it appears loud. I am not generally a fan of black tartans so I don't look much beyond the main color.

Observational note on this thread, which I purposely waited a while to post. Why is it that the initial question was met with replies about politics being fodder for entertainment or warnings that it was forbidden? The thread did not overtly mention support for a specific candidate. Frankly the candidate the question was about has always been a somewhat larger than life figure, even in his business dealings. Living not too far outside of NYC he has been a local celebrity since well before his foray into television. I have to wonder would the thread have been as polarizing if the question had been about a local businessman or local celebrity?
