A poll about colors for Diabetes [Archive]

Dewey

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? (http://www.diabetesforums.com/type-1/12037-color-diabetes.html)

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! ;)

LOL @ FL!

Well....It appears that I have a little of an issue on this, so I may wind up taking it down & re-posting...:o 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! :o

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.

Yellow with black writing. Barnaby Bee is the mascot used here for diabetes - honey/sugar pun I think. but I haven't seen a bracelet with those colours for any charity/organisation.

Red lettering on yellow ban, looks good and draw more attention.

i voted for glow in the dark with blood red writing... I think that would look awesome!!

How much will we have to pay for these??
Oh yeh... and will you post to the UK?:D

We are working out these details. Sending braclets to the UK shouldn't be a problem.

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 liked the yellow with red lettering

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

Pffft! Any excuse to rub it in Stu... you didn't even notice! I had to tell you!

Dew, do we have any movement on the band situation?! It'd be AWESOME to be all wearing them in Vegas!!

What about see-thru and the forum's name printed in white???
It would symbolise the fact that diabetes cannot be seen from the outside and that we have the will to live thru it.
and white because it would show on any skin color.

Stuboy

any developments??

11-19-2006, 12:20 AM

well i think the color for diabetes is grey, so i vote grey with maroon writing

andypoo

11-22-2006, 09:21 AM

I like the idea of glow in the dark with blood red lettering,or ox blood red with glow in the dark lettering

andypoo

11-22-2006, 09:23 AM

Even flesh colored glow in the dark with ox blood lettering

Tony

12-05-2006, 03:07 AM

With glow in the dark being the favorite the only questions now are, what is printed on the braclets and how many people would like to place an order?

JediSkipdogg

12-05-2006, 03:44 AM

Depending on what's printed and mainly how much it costs is if I'm in or out.

Since it's for this website, my thoughts should be to print "DiabetesForums.com" on it.

Donating to DF is one thing, wearing a bracelet is something completely different, IMO...

Just think.....You could donate and then give the bracelets to family & friends....so you'd get the best of both worlds! ;) (meaning you wouldn't have to wear the bracelets)...

Put me down for 2. Maybe a few more.

I'll take a few Tony, but you'll have to send me details of how to send you payment, including postage costs...

Glow in the dark... Cool.. I'll take 10 please... I have a big family,, remember, I'm HISPANIC....lol

Dewey

12-06-2006, 11:41 PM

I'll buy at least 10 (if not, more)! :) I look forward to helping & to spreading the word/sharing the bracelets!

Edit: Heck, make it 20!!

Glow in the Dark get's my vote

I'd like to get a wrist band too!
Post further informaiton on how to obtain them!:itsme:

Stuboy

01-09-2007, 05:17 AM

I would order...

And i think you could have two version, one that says "Type 1 Diabetes" and one that says "Type 2 Diabetes" or you could have "Diabetes Awareness" on them...

01-09-2007, 05:20 AM

Anymore info on these? Any final decisions? Color? Writing? Cost?

Tony

01-09-2007, 06:27 AM

First we need to know how many bracelets are going to be sold. I have to buy them in a large quantity which is fine I can always add an online store and they will be available later down the road but, I would like to keep the upfront cost down as much as I can.

As for what will be written on them we can start another thread. The glow in dark looks to be the winner for the color.

Nannerjoe

01-15-2007, 12:47 PM

I'd order a couple....doesn't matter what color (I voted on rainbow because I couldn't decide!)... I'm not sure if there is a thread somewhere that tells how you go about ordering them and how much $$ ?? But, I'm good for at least a couple of them.

Good idea...But where can we find out how to order and how much they cost?
I'd really like to get a few!
Hey....Love your cat! lol
Did you see the pictures of my cat....Miss Kitty?
We're the same age....only I'm a little older...born in July, 1951.
I'm a type 2 also.
When were you diagnoised? I just found out in Sept.

Hi Darsie!
I promise not to tell Gertrude (my pug) that you called her a cat! LOL!!! And yes, your Miss Kitty is beautiful.
I was diagnosed in 2003. I've not been a very good diabetic thus far....but that has changed and I'm eating better and determined to lose weight and feel better. It's a life plan now. I'm tired of feeling so crummy (and so fat).
Yes! We are the same age!

Has anything been decided about the bracelets? I have worn them for everything else. Would like to start wearing one for diabetes. I'm also wondering about the cost. Thanks! Beth

I keep trying to find out....I don't think anyone is in control of this!
If you find anything out, let me know!

I think Tony's just dealing with updates to the site first, then will get the fees and everything figured out for the bracelets. It looks like there's a good turn out of people who'd like to buy the bracelets once they become available, so I'm sure they'll be made available pretty soon. :)
