That's a lot of choices. I'd prefer anything except blue since so many men's shirts are that color. The last MVS shirt was nicely in "MVS blue", so another would feel redundant.

How about some sweet Volvo colors? Regent Red, Saffron, Laser Blue, Dark Olive Pearl! I voted for gold because it looks great on a 240.

I like the idea of Volvo colors.
Question - What is the ink color ? That kind of comes into the equation.

Black and yellow, but I'd swap the black (it outlines the graphic) for white if the shirt color choice is on the darker side.

aaaaand poll is closed. Grey is the winner!

Second is a tie between black and navy, and because grey is monochrome, and black is monochrome (no-chrome?), the hoodies will be navy.

Thanks for voting everyone!


BTW: what is the scientific (Latin or Greek) word for "none" that would be used as the prefix for a color that has no color in it?

"a", so "achromatic" like aphasia, anemia, anorexia, avascular, etc.

Looking forward to the tshirts and hoodies. :-)
