Decision 2011! (and popularity counts)

In the interest of this Club, and the promotion of democracy (as a counter-force to Der Tyrant's authoritarian decrees), we shall have ourselves a vote to determine the representative colors for our beloved Subbuteo club. These colors will be featured on club paraphernalia, scarves, and other future apparel. (See also "Der Tyrant's Corner," July 29th edition.) Although, what can best our totally DIY (and totally bad-ass) club shirts? Only time will tell.

The ballot is below. Select the letter of the color palate you feel will best represent and distinguish the Club, and please reply to either Der Tyrant or HBT via text message, email, or in a comment on this post. An interpretive key has been provided so you may better grasp the provenance of the colors. Should you have any difficulty understanding this ballot, do not hesitate to contact us, if you must. This is your chance to have your say, so speak up--or shut up. The polls will be open for two weeks.* Best of luck, and may the best color win!
