The current state of the alpha testing.

I just have to interject an interesting fact
Pink used to be a masculine colour. Blue feminine.
Only 100 years ago.
Things change..but only in the perception of the mind...
Ive always thought it fascinating. For example, a June 1918 article from the trade publication Earnshaw's Infants' Department said, “The generally accepted rule is pink for the boys, and blue for the girls. The reason is that pink, being a more decided and stronger color, is more suitable for the boy, while blue, which is more delicate and dainty, is prettier for the girl.” Other sources said blue was flattering for blonds, pink for brunettes; or blue was for blue-eyed babies, pink for brown-eyed babies, according to Paoletti.

In 1927, Time magazine printed a chart showing sex-appropriate colors for girls and boys according to leading U.S. stores. In Boston, Filene’s told parents to dress boys in pink. So did Best & Co. in New York City, Halle’s in Cleveland

any way...

Pink, but the Metro guy's jersey says "Orange". And why are they dragging the USS Alabama on the field? Are there cajun's in Alabama? None of this is on the state flag. Do good ol' boys even watch soccer? So many questions....

Somehow this image comes to mind for some of you guys wanting sheep in the game.

Great stuff HTC

Having said that, can we assume a D23 will be included in this mega update.  We did follow protocol and graciously gave you a bottle of 12 year old single malt, some German chocolate, some German beer, rights to our first born, etc...

Sorry I am typing this on the fly but historically pink was a manly color.   Why do you think the Us Army dress uniform had pink pants(WWll era). 

If my memory of history is correct I believe pink became a color for women durning Hitler's reign. Homosexuals during his rule were sent to concentration camps and had to wear a pink triangle to mark them.  It is my understand that was when those colors did a gender flip

In the old manly days of pink, it was called light salmon.

I remember those days.  Light salmon shirt, red tie....the mark of a well-dressed man in the late-80s / early-90s.   

Of course, that era also gave rise to "MC Hammer" rayon pants, patent leather dancing shoes.

There are these two babies in the maternity ward.  The first baby turns to the second and says, "I'm a boy baby, what are you?"  The second baby says, "I don’t know.  How do you know you're a boy?"  The first baby whips off his blanket, points down, and says, "I'm wearing blue booties."
