I don't like the lavender either, especially since our's is an all male division.....but if we use the black edging...it's not as "noticable". :)

I have made with and without accent color, I like the plain one the best so far out of the ones I have made for myself. Of course our Div color is sky blue..hmm

I like the idea of Yellow Scarves for everyone--- they will really show up! ... and I like the pictures of the scarves already made--- but like several of the div 069 Moms said, Lavender clashes with Yellow, big-time, Ha ha! Too bad the div. color isn't burgundy or something else, but I'll look for some pale-lavender ribbon & see how it looks against the yellow fleece--- maybe I'll go shopping Mon. or Tues.--- if it looks really ickey, I may just wear All Yellow and shout out "Division 069!", or something! =) Oh, I just realized... Div 065 is Yellow--- well, That's Easy!! Ha ha ha!!!

well crap.... i just realized 804 is tan but I think our division is going all yellow too... UGH
ok to my 804 girls....
are we adding the tan or gold to the yellow scarves for our 804 or going all yellow? I think the gold color will be nicer then tan....
Division 065 is plain yellow too!

I saw some really cool gold accent ribbons. Some had dangling coins or stars or things like that. I thought it would look cool to have some of the dangling bits, if you had metalics....
