When Tony Stewart's crew pulls into Chicagoland Speedway this weekend, they'll be rolling off what has to be the ugliest car so far this year. Office Depot's "back to school" paint scheme looks like a kid who slipped on the way to school and accidentally emptied her backpack's contents all over the sidewalk. This technicolor hodge-podge of shapes and logos has no rhyme or reason, and will look even more ugly at 180 mph than it does standing still. I'd put it up against any of these other ugly schemes any day.Is this the kind of design we want to be teaching our kids? Yeesh.
If you happened to notice, there were no Toyota's with ugly paint schemes. The majority of the ugly was on Chevy's. It appears there is no correlation between winning and paint schemes. Think back to the 50's and 60's when gray primer was the in color. Ok, ask your fathers or grandfathers and they can tell you.
ReplyDeleteTrue, anon, though Toyota has only been a NASCAR nameplate since 2007. Give 'em time and I'm sure they'll catch up to the ugly Chevys.
ReplyDeleteAnd frankly, I'd prefer primer gray to that vomit of a paint scheme that Tony's running this week.
