    I like the fact that this is a public poll, so the Social Democratic Lime Party can, after coming into power, hunt down and intern dissident members of the Republican Socialist Pink Party.

    Barack O'Lima is more conservative than his egotistical Republican opponent Mitt Pinkney.

    Although Mitt Pinkney had a loyal following from the old timers, there was a call for change.

    Gotta go for the lime.

    Pink has been done, and the blue/red ones are relatively bland.

    Do the lime guys, do the lime.

    The link to the order thread is in the OP, roughly they'll be about €45-50 incl VAT and postage etc, we won't know until closer to the order is put in.

    Friends, Comrades, Knights of the Road.

    I remember the last time we changed the Jersey vividly. It was a dark period in the history of 410. There was Fred on Fred bare knuckle fighting on Stocking Lane. I had to scrub the blood and gristle from my chain after every spin. I still wake up screaming at night.

    Change is wrong, evil and scares elderly people like myself.

    Mark my words, NO GOOD WILL COME OF THIS.

    Vote PINK. Early and often.

    I think if the elders of the forum are fearful of being overtaken by the new young breeds they should stick their name down on the spreadsheet so they can feel hip and cool like the new kids....

    Just saying ;)

    I like the red, but the green takes my vote as it's nice and garish.

    Wasn't there talk of multiple colour orders?

    It took me a long time to convince myself to buy the pink version (and even longer to wear it) but the lime is a step too far.

    Pink it is.

    Only the people actually buying in this order, or who already own a jersey should be allowed vote on this -we're getting a whole load of limeys voting who've never worn a boards kit, and never will -I call shennanigans!

    How do you know who's ever owned one? :confused:

    I personally have had the pink jersey for a couple of years and love it, but I also like the idea of it changing every now and then rather than stay the same. I quite like the older one you see on people sometimes, but that's now "retired" I guess, and maybe time for the same to happen the pink one?

    Well, I did a couple of the orders, so I know who I got ones for, and the later orders were done by boardsies who'll also know (it's not like you can get one in a shop, you have to be a poster here to have ordered) -second hand trade doesn't count -like frame warranties, it's only applicable to the first purchaser :)

    I am joking btw....

    The old one wasn't 'retired', some young upstart just wanted a change, so we went pink (I'm fairly sure there was an original design that had more pink that was shot down -will have to see if I can find my original comps...)

    We could easily bring back the original one if we wanted - Carvalho have it on file!

    There's 40-something people in on this order, and there must be at least 60 others with boards jerseys. This is all a logistical nightmare :pac:

    And yeah the change need not be permanent of course, some people weren't comfortable with wearing a pink jerseys, which was met with cries of HTFU, and others wanted a different version so they could wear the 410 logo in different styles.

    Although I like the pink, I would be happy with the lime. Sure we can do another pink order sometime soon.
