It was the design process and not the sales pitch. Interesting in that after reading Matt's article, so o f the issues that I was told about appear to be misconceptions at best. I would have to say, looking at it now, the best reason not to wear my state's tartan is the asymmetry. The closest we have to a state kilted unit is the State Police Pipe Band, and they do not wear the Connecticut tartan. Truth be told, I have never seen a kilt in it.

My remarks on color meaning was based on the previous posts, where folks had talked about what colors to have in the NY design. I had not realized that no meaning was attached to them originally. I actually feel better about the description of the CT colors that was posted here, because I had thought that it was simpl the colors of our state flag, and what is red there was purple. Green & Purple are very minor colors int he state flag and would normally go unnoticed.

Another thought, if there are going to be meanings to the colors, get the travel & tourism board involved. They love to talk about what the state means to both residents and tourists and might be helpful in the sales process both to the organizations and the legislature.
