Olympic Jerseys

Oh yeah, I still think the jerseys suck.

I remember reading the results of a survey on US state flags. The
results were that people didn't like pictures and especially
pictures with a lot of detail. They also didn't like lettering.
What they did like was simple geometric patterns.

That probably explains why I feel more positively towards the
national team jerseys that had stripes with maybe a single star
in the pattern somewhere.

It is/was a red and white band down the center with stars on blue
around the sides and shoulders. I like these National team jerseys best
too.

Dump Google, and others of its Ilk like Excites, Yahoo etc.

I fail to see your point. AllTheWeb is a business unit of Overture, which in
turn is owned by Yahoo. Like Google, it is a for-profit search
engine/advertising company.

So you have an affinity for Texas or Chile?

I'm doing this from memory but among the state flags I think the
highest rated were Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona. I prefer
Arizona to Texas although that slightly violates the simpler-is-
better rule.

I remember Wisconsin ranked as one of the worst because of the
way too complicated picture and the lettering.

Learned his lesson about buying online from Performance...

Why do you keep bringing this up? If I remember from the thread that you
started a few weeks ago, many people purchase online from Performance and
don't get spammed.

At first I thought I must have missed this. So I looked up the
thread on Google. I didn't miss it, it never happened.

Maybe he was thinking about another thread, on rbm rather than rbr:

FWIW, I've ordered online from Performance with no spam problems. Maybe
just lucky.

OK, so I read that thread. There are people that order from Performance
and get spammed. There are people that order from Performance that
don't get spammed. There are people that get spammed but don't mind
so they don't consider it spam.

I don't want to hear from them and there is nothing I can do to get
them to stop. From reading that thread it appears that that is how
they operate, the difference seems to be that not everyone cares.

I am happy for the many people that buy from Performance and don't
get spammed. Not everyone is so lucky. Buy from them at your own
risk.

Relentless spamming is a bad marketing practice.

Like Confederate battle flags?

They obviously weren't thinking about your feelings, the selfish [censored].

It's true. I was shocked. SHOCKED, I tell ya!

You could always one-up then with a CN kit ;-)

Sure, but that won't be ultra-cool and way happening for another 5 years
or so. Plus I'd need to get at least 3 more guys to wear 'em (not to
mention the weight gain).
