Choose a color scarf for your Ship/DIV

Hey all. I figured I would start a chat so each ship/div can choose what color of scarf they want to wear to PIR. Once each group makes a decision you can post your color on this thread, so that we don't all choose the same color.

I hear we may be combining 053 and 054 brother divisions...so...blue and gold?

Permalink Reply by Alicia(12/053 - AO)♥ on January 7, 2012 at 12:22pm

Hi Amy, there was talkof it but because some of us from each division already bought scarves in their colors we decided to stick with bkue for 053 and gold for 054. We talked about the blues scarves adding a gold ribbon and the gold scrves adding a blue ribbon, not sure if everyone decided on that yet or not.

I think we're just going to stick with the blue for -53 and gold for -054. IF each person wants to add a blue or gold ribbon to their scarf they can, its really up to you. :) I'll probably order a ribbon from Lala for mine.

I went today and got a bunch of fleece in pretty much every color even the magenta ;-) It seems most everyone is ordering them with an anchor on them so that is cool and looks really good. I have the bright yellow but I also have what I would call true gold that also looks very good with the Navy and the black :-) And the Purple is beautiful. I will try to have a pic of each color that has been ordered posted on my facebook by tomorrow evening. If anyone wants to order from me or has any questions about what I have please feel free to send me a message on this site or email me at: uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com Thanks so much and have a wonderful weekend, Lala

I was able to get Kelly green fleece today and they also had a darker forest green that I can always go back and get. I also got a true gold color if someone likes that better than the bright yellow. A "gold" anchor will look great on the Navy or Black and the bright yellow will look great as well. I have all the colors listed I believe :-)
