LazyDaisy Aug 2017 4:27pm, 23 Aug 2017 19,460 posts	Quote Pin LazyDaisy I like both my volunteer 25 and red 50 T's but although I've done my 100th (only last month though so the T shirt is months if not years away) I don't like black so I probably won't wrar it much! I wonder if, given the parkrun colours are to change with the new branding, the apricot T will be ditched? I haven't bought one because it's a nasty colour (IMO) but maybe there'll be a new option coming along soon?

Considering how much stuff is out at individual events globally that is in the current colours & brand, both 5k & juniors, I can't see them changing the core colours.

LazyDaisy Aug 2017 5:42pm, 23 Aug 2017 19,465 posts	Quote Pin LazyDaisy Yes this is what I was thinking of: You will also notice that we have taken the opportunity to refresh both the colours and design of the parkrun brand, which will be reflected across the new parkrun website that we are expecting to launch later this year. Included in that email is a photo of the (IMO,rubbish-looking) pop-out banner which has the colours pink, purple white and dark blue, and no sign of orange, green or brown. Added to which, the heading of HQ emails now has a dark blue logo (with the parkrun symbol in white).
