What Color Do You Want To See?

Part of my job now with doing travel is to pick out next year‘s shirt color. Everyone has a different style – so it’s hard to pick a color that everyone will like. I want to hear your opinions. 

What Color shirt?

What Color do you want the writing In? 

Now Janeil and I were pretty proud of the neon green shirt with pink writing – looked like a watermelon! Apparently – we were the only ones that thought that was cool!

So if you don’t want to wear neon pink next year – let me hear your opinion! Remember – you’ll be looking at these shirts all year long when you look at the group pictures online!

  1. I’ve seen older shirts in red, purple and light blue that are awesome! Neon pink sounds good too! Whatever you choose — it will be someone’s favorite!!! I think those of you all who have to look at them all the time should suit yourselves!

  2. A bright colorful “tie-died” look, like Rufus wore on survivor would really stand out in the airport. One alone catches everyones eye, can you imagine 120 of them all at once.
    “Cammo” wouldn’t work, no one would see us.
    besides looking too military(not good at this time)

  3. Actually I would love the hot pink! I have wanted one for years!!! So I know the boys won’t like it….but what if the boys got yellow and the girls got pink???? I think its a good idea!!!=) If you don’t like that idea, what about a light blue?

  4. Casey wore yellow w/Teen Mission one year and they looked like a bunch of bananas walking thru the airport, ewww. Personally, I like a nice soft medium gray w/burgundy writing. A nice burgundy color, burnt orange, rust-nice earthy tone colors.

  5. Jody,
    Blue is my favorite color, so blue would be my vote. A light blue or sky blue. Lavender would also be pretty but the guys probably would not like it. A nice shade of yellow would also be good, but I don’t know about neon yellow & green. You & your family have been in my prayers. I’m glad you are starting to feel better.

  6. Just to let you know what other people have emailed me about but not posted – –

    Gray with RED lettering

    White (even though it gets dirty you can bleach it)

    Black with green lettering

    Khaki shirt

    Peach with white lettering

    Maroon with Gold Lettering

  7. Went to CIY this year and the college kids working it had neon green shirts that were really awesome. You could really spot them anywhere in the parking lots or campus. White or black print on them would look great – black being my preference. That way the guys will like them also.

  8. Jody,

    I personally like the color brown with pink writing or neon green with hot pink writing. Or you could do pink shirts with brown writing for the females and brown with white lettering for the guys.

    Love ya!

  9. Hey Jody!
    I was trying to figure out what colors I would like. I was talking to my roommate and she picked out some amazing colors and we had to search for the names. The colors are Azure, deep red and white. Maybe use black for an outline. It sounds weird but it really looks pretty once they are together. I looked up the Azure on Wikipedia to see if it is the color I was looking for.
    Just an idea.

  10. Never wear black!! Women in Haiti who are in
    mourning wear black for a year – or at least they used to.

    Years ago, our group showed up in Haiti wearing black shirts. The Haitians kept asking us who died that caused all of us to be in mourning. Not good public relations.
    Also, black is hot!
