| | | A poll about colors for Diabetes
Hi Everyone. We are interested in creating some bracelets for Diabetes forums' members, but need some additional input & a vote on the poll. In the last thread, we had suggestions of clear (with blood red letters), neon colored (i.e. Orange, green, etc.), red (like the ADA bracelets), rainbow colored (all encompassing), purple and maroon (to name a few). I also have attached the original thread so that it could be referred back to (as to why members suggested the colors they did): Color For Diabetes?
Anyway, sorry if I missed everyone's suggestion, but I wanted to try to narrow it down since there were interests in a particular few. If you're not keen on the choices, then please state your reasons & your desired color. Also, if you choose neon, elaborate on what neon color you'd like to see. We will then narrow it down even further (if needed), based on these results. Please let us know what you think, and don't forget to vote!

Well....It appears that I have a little of an issue on this, so I may wind up taking it down & re-posting...  The clear color for the silicone bands is Not an option (as it's not available), so we're brainstorming as to what color to put in its place....I opted for "glow in the dark," LOL! That said, I may have to delete this thread & re-start. D'oh!

| | | I say black, cause then it would match my current wristband and watch. Then maybe a dark color letering. Otherwise, I saw a neon color.
***As I'm typing this a cat just flew by me, not sure where he's headed too. LOL

| | | Red and white. Like the forum logo.
Don't go with 'rainbow' - it's too closely associated with homosexual pride and I think it's in everyone's interest that we don't get confused with another cause. |

| | | I would have to go with maroon, but I also like the idea of using the forum logo colors to go with the tshirts as a forum band
