Hey Norby,

THAT'S THE WAY IT SHOULD BE!

Never figured out how it is so many corporations expect me to pay them to wear a garment with THEIR name on it?

For me, doing that is corporate codependency. I'm cool because I wear a Wranglers shirt or a Calvin Klein shirt...come on...

Don't mind wearing and supporting kiltmaker's shirts to promote the kilt fashion boom though.

Wonder if The Gap knows how many sweatshirts they sell to Navajos who live in a reservation town called The Gap? Just a little rez town where there's a break in the Echo Cliffs and a road cuts through to Coppermine. If you happen to see a Native American in a sweatshirt that says, "GAP" their not necessarily a fashion conscious/status person, they're probably Navajo from The Gap, Arizona.

BobC.....I would wear it mainly to Rockies games, who are going to be the World Series champs in 2006, xmarks my words (notice the subtle little plug. I am such a salesman!) That is why I am a California/Anaheim/ South Disney Angels fan. Now, before you call me bandwagon, I was born and raised in Southern California, so I am entitled and have always been a fan.

Onion....I would so wear the pink and purple kilt/shirt combo. But, remember, it would that businesses logo that everyone would read. Just make sure the kilt is short. VERY short.

I agree with Riverkilt....notice when you buy a vehicle, the business puts a sticker with their logo on the rear bumper, window or trunk? Heck, I am paying them for the vehicle, they should put my name on their business.

And make that hot pink kilt very non-traditional by putting a big slit up the side so that Norby can show some leg!

Hey Norby,

As you might guess...EVERY car I've every owned, the very first thing I've done is to take the dealer sticker off of it. Usually easy to remove when they're fresh. The manufacturer's logos are more firmly affixed.

I've done the same thing to the labels on my SportKilts and AmeriKilts. The embroidery on Utilikilts and Freedom Kilts I just leave though...can't get it out without making a mess.

This was never intended to be a serious request. I was just making a silly reference to the desperate measures one may go to obtain something. Like those old "Klodike bar" commercials. I thought most members would understood that. For those who did not, I am truly sorry that I was not clear in my attempt at sarcasm. For those I offended, I am sorry as well.

For what it's worth, Rocky at USAkilts and I have been e-mailing back and forth in regards to this forum. He even agreed to place a plaque at his new home if I agreed to "sponser" his residential purchase. I know he understands that this was just meant to be a joke, and by no means a serious suggestion. I wore my USAkilts T-shirt today, which I purchased from him, in conjunction with my USAkilt.

Onion took this post where I thought it would go, hilariously offering to making a pink and purple kilt ensemble. There have been several posts about adding other items to the outfit, each more funny than the last. That was my intention, and nothing more. If I was asked by a kilt company, I would certainly explain that it was not meant seriously.

In short, I never intended this to be serious, and I apologize to anyone I offended. I support all the small businesses in the kilt business, and appreciate their hard work.
