re: Backwards Dart Board

whiteandlight

Hi guys,
I've a friend who's looking for a dart board for her brother for christmas. However it needs to be have the colours backwards ie that its red where its normally black and vice versa.
She's heard that maybe Brefners on capel street could have it. Any other suggestions would be much appreciated. Online stores either would work.

Thanks!

Why do the colours need to be other way round may I ask

dionsiseire

Yeah whats the need for inverted colours?

initially i thought it was going to be something to do with colorblindness but if the colors are the same just at inverted places then the colorblindness wouldnt be counteracted

real interested in this one

MBC

Very interested too?

A way of doing it is...........when you get the board........just take off the outer wire and replace it the way you want!

Yeah simple solution to this problem, thats if you mean you want to swap the black segments with the white segments. Just clip off the outer wire with the numbers on it and move them so that the 20 number is over a white segments and there you go, job done :pac:

I don't know if that's all you want to do or whether you want to totally mix up the board by changing the colours of the doubles and trebles so that the doubles for the white segemnts are red and the black segments green. That's would just be a little crazy though!

I'm with the lads on this one, why would you want to change the colours on the board? I have never heard of this before. The colour blindness thing would make sense if you wanted to change one of the colours to something totally new but not if you are keeping the same ones

:)As I said its not for me but since everyones so interested I'll check with her and get back to you all! Thanks for the suggestion on turning the board. I really don't know why she needs it

I think it is the singles and doubles/trebles reversed that he wants.

Have you ever seen this before?

I haven't, and I can't think of any reasoning for it.

I have indeed, it was a summers day and decided I wanted a cool refreshing glass of beer so went into a pub where across the bar I spotted the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life. Her hair flowed in the gentle breeze of the bars fan.

Actually, I have never seen it myself.

She's getting it to replace her brothers one that is like that apparently!

i.e. what colours are double top/ 18 / 10/ 8
what colours are double 1/5/15/16/17/19
what color are the trebles of these numbers

what colour is 25/bull

what colour is large segment 20 an 19?

Hi guys, I was chatting to her again. The pic is the type of one she's looking for but she can only find it in electronic versions online. Looking for a regular bristle one if anyone can help!

The only time that I have seen boards like that are generally when they are specially produced for a company as an advertisement. There were a few beer/cider companines over the years who have had their own dartboards that were coloured differently.

Yeah I'm the same, proper boards in that colour tend to be advertisements but I do remember seeing a few cardboard boards in that colour. I dunno if they are worth getting because they are horrible boards and get filled with holes as you use it.

Would she not just get an Eclipse Pro board? :pac:

dionsiseire

Maybe its a themed dart board? like those simpson dartboard and the likes?
