Club Colours
Posted: Tue Mar 28, 2006 12:56 pmClub Colours. An open letteer to the committee.
David Tucker – my comments re club colours:
I believe the colours/pattern of the club vest/kit are fine and are what we are known by – locally. They must have been decided on for a reason long ago and probably had some meaning.
The point where the club vests have been deficient for along time is that there is no club name on the back.
My proposal/suggestion is to do nothing except add the club name to the back of the vest. The name should be simple – “ Macclesfield Harriers”.
Often on long events, a long way from home you can link clubs to the running vest by reading the club's name on runners backs as you catch them up. Its good to know whom you are passing. You learn to identify clubs that have their name on their vests. What happens when you approach a Macc harrier? Nothing! The vest gives no information and does nothing to get the club known outside of Cheshire. All we need is Macc Harriers on the back.
There is no point in putting on the front because the running number would obscure it. The macc symbol on the front ids there already and is fine as it is.
There we are, a simple but significant t improvement
