DWx Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 According to issue 26 of TotallyTKD the chest protector and headguards for the TKD in London 2012 are going to be pink and lime green! Apparently its because "red is associated with blood and blue is associated with bad moods". Er ok, I get how you can get those meanings from those colours but you can also get "passion" or "courage" from red and "tranquility" from blue which are positive things. I don't think that that is a good enough reason to change the standard colour of the athletes.. presumably other sports like boxing or wrestling haven't changed their colour schemes! Plus lime green and pink is going to look hideous!!! "Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it." ~ Confucius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isshinryu5toforever Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I think they got you on that one. There's no way they would change from red and blue. They're the colors of the um yang (yin and yang) in Korea. And a principle part of the um-yang-in, which is um and yang inside of a person. He who knows others is wise.

bushido_man96 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Hehe...funny. That would look silly. I would have been interested in the rationale...after all, the competitors are getting ready to FIGHT for crying out loud... https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWx Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 No no it was April Fool's, I should have read to the end of the issue before I jumped up on my soapbox "Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it." ~ Confucius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
