So it's that time of year again when I'm looking at new gear that I really don't need, with my girlfriend hiding my credit card from me as a preventative measure.

So many claims from kite manufacturers about how their kite is x times more poppy than last year, x times more stable, and easier to relaunch. It seems nobody pays attention to their brand being x times more garishly colourful. It's a trait I want to see improved upon until all we see are fluorescent green and purple works of art.

What are your favourite or most hated colour schemes in the last few years?




My favourite would have to be the Nobile 50Fifty:






In my opinion, one of the worst colour schemes belongs to the Best Yarga:

Personally i've always liked the look of core kites. Sure they all look the same, but they are clean, simple and they look awesome against a good background.



Bad looking kites, basically anything from north from about 2010-2012.

^^^ looks like someone threw a box of textas at a 4 year old and told them to go for it, but at least they kept within the lines.

There is very few brands that have good colour schemes.
I had a Naish that was blue and orange, what were they thinking?
