    Thumbs up

    I, for one think it's a fun idea, and I really like the tartan. If Rocky ever makes it avalible in PV I'll likely try to get permission to wear it.

    Maybe he can design a McPertinacious tartan for everybody else

    Just for a little clarification. Further on in the Scottish Register of Tartans Guidance Document:

    The addition of traditional tartan descriptors to a tartan name e.g. 'Hunting Smith', 'Modern Smith', 'Dress Smith' etc. will be accepted as unique names for the purposes of the Register. However, the applicant will be required to offer proof of his/her association with the original tartan and appropriate authority to register further versions of it. Under the terms of the Scottish Register of Tartans Act 2008 Section 7(2)(a), the Keeper must refuse to register a tartan (a) if the applicant's association with the name of the tartan is insufficient or insubstantial, or (b) if the name of the tartan is undesirable i.e. in the view of the Keeper the name is likely to mislead the public as to the true nature of the purposes of the person/body registering it, or is deemed to be frivolous or offensive. It is not possible to register a tartan name which is greater than 200 characters in length.
    So if the name is not trying to mislead the public, the members of Clan McEvil must have convinced the Keeper that they really are the 'Sons of Evil'. It seems also that "The Insane Flying Zombie Slayers of Atlantis" is out as well.

    Regards

    What're you talking about? The Insane Flying Zombie Slayers of Atlantis is WELL under 200 characters!

    I find the name of the tartan rather humorous to be honest. I find it absolutely appropriate due to the description, especially since both the tartan and the meaning are rather personal.
    It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.
