What Shirt Is It? Updated
So, I'm talking with this certain blogger, who shall remain nameless in order to protect her, and she got to discussing Matt's choice of clothing for his TV appearance. We also discussed the possibility of Matt adding another shirt, besides his Blackfive tee. A shirt made just for Blackfive readers and Blackfive, himself. "The Blackfive Fly Mint Green Shirt". Granted, the shirt in the pic isn't quite the minty fresh color of the actual shirt... that's top secret stuff, until the shirts hit production.
When asked if he's going to wear his trademark shirt, Matt replied, "Did I wear the 'fly mint green shirt'? You'll have to tune in to find out."
In the meantime, we can guess, with the winner getting the chance to wear Contagion's lovely jacket for a month! Yes, he's actually willing to let it out of his sight! What a great guy Contagion is!
To kick this off, I'm going to say that Matt rebels, and wears the "fly mint green shirt," again, despite the uproar it caused last time. Give me your best guess!!!
To find out what shirt Matt chose, and who's guessed the correct answer, tune into CNN tonight, 7pm EST, or tomorrow, 1pm EST.
***UPDATE***
Well, what the hell? Matt wore a powder blue shirt... that's going to make that fly mint green shirt obsolete. Maybe we'll have to start a whole line for him....
And most of all, great job, Matt. As Laughing Wolf already pointed out, good points and answers. You did well... at least in my eyes....
Posted by That 1 Guy at February 4, 2006 02:40 PMOh Oh I wanna play! I wanna play. That jacket would ROCK with my cute little black skirt!
Ok ok ok...let me think.......I say he'll go with a really deep shade of rose. Yeah, rose. It goes so well with his ruddy complexion. That it would just make his eyes POP.
Posted by: Tammi at February 4, 2006 02:51 PMPurple! I think he went with a purple!
Posted by: Bou at February 4, 2006 02:53 PMI am going to guess a lovely shade of Fuschia! He's going hot pink, baby!
Posted by: Richmond at February 4, 2006 03:02 PMOff-Salmon pink. It's him. Or would it go better with Eric's saddle shoes???
Posted by: Laughing Wolf at February 4, 2006 03:05 PMI think he's more of a tangerine kind of guy...
Posted by: Princess Cat at February 4, 2006 03:07 PMSo I'm sitting here at Panera and working on the milblog book thingy...everyone's looking at me wondering why I'm laughing my ass off (not quite rolling on the floor - I think that's a squished scone there). Tammi kills me...
My wife insisted on Purple. You all want fly mint green. Wonder which won out?
Posted by: Blackfive at February 4, 2006 03:11 PMAnd since I was on for, like, sixty seconds, you might want to TIVO or something in order to settle the bet. Wouldn't want a blogwar to start up or anything *whistles and walks away*
Posted by: Blackfive at February 4, 2006 03:13 PMHmmm... I'd say puce... then again maybe not. Tammi's much better with color than I am.
Posted by: Teresa at February 4, 2006 03:16 PMI don't know if it's so much about the color, as the outfit. A little bit of this, a little bit of that.
I picture him more like this.
But, maybe with some gold chains.
I was going to vote "salmon" or "coral"...
Would a Rockstar be caught dead in purple? I say no....
Posted by: armywifetoddlermom at February 4, 2006 03:39 PMI vote for a nice chartreuse. That sounds better than a nice baby shit yellow.
Posted by: Dash at February 4, 2006 04:17 PM... well, I'm sorry, people... but that fly lime green just does it for me... every.single.time...
.. incidentally, EVERY color goes with my shoes.... they are just that damn cool....
Posted by: Eric at February 4, 2006 04:51 PMHe'll probably try for a neutral white, but the TV folks would never let him get away with it.
Posted by: Ogre at February 4, 2006 05:24 PMI'm thinking a 70's retro pink think with a frilly front:

Posted by: Harvey at February 4, 2006 05:36 PMWell, the host is into violet -- not his colour IMO
Posted by: Laughing Wolf at February 4, 2006 06:04 PMDon't be bustin' on Ali, now. He's fly...for a pimp on North Avenue...
I'm on for a minute about half way through the show, I think. Don't blink or you'll miss my homage to Johnny Cash...just kidding.
Posted by: Blackfive at February 4, 2006 06:07 PMI think you just insulted some pimps I've met...
Posted by: Laughing Wolf at February 4, 2006 06:11 PM"met"? is that what they call "bartered with" these days?
Posted by: Blackfive at February 4, 2006 06:16 PMBartered with heck, worked for... And at least I am not cheap...
Posted by: Laughing Wolf at February 4, 2006 06:23 PMFYI - I'm next.
And, Nic Robertson made a request to be patched through to me before the show to say hello. Good guy.
Posted by: Blackfive at February 4, 2006 06:28 PMGood to know a kinsman did that... Standing by...
Posted by: Laughing Wolf at February 4, 2006 06:29 PMNice blue. Much better than the green, glasses need some no glare
Where is pilsbury hat?
Good answers, good points. Nice job. No longer think, know you have insulted a lot of pimps... Not bad at all for a hostile situation. NR did a good job too...
Good job!
Posted by: Laughing Wolf at February 4, 2006 06:39 PMStill think you should have gone with the salmon, but also think Tammi had it right -- dark rose or maybe even a strong magenta...
Posted by: Laughing Wolf at February 4, 2006 06:40 PMAside from not saying "understandable" a million times and losing the glasses, a nice pomagranet might be next.
Posted by: Blackfive at February 4, 2006 06:42 PMHeheheh... I was going to make a crack about the "understandable's", but know that I would have done even worse... understandably.
I say go for a warm burgundy...
Posted by: That 1 Guy at February 4, 2006 06:45 PMI was going to snicker at the glasses, but have no room to talk... As for the other, understandable...
Posted by: Laughing Wolf at February 4, 2006 06:48 PM... hey, killer... yeah.... everything went well while we watched... until the Wife smacked me in the back of the head and snarled... "JESUS!... WHY does he say UNDERSTANDABLE so much!.. this is CNN and he took out our trash once while you were cooking beans!...he needs a new word!."... yeah, that happened about half-way through... on your 26th "understandable".. heh heh...
... seriously, though... you did an excellent job.... I'm proud of you...
Posted by: Eric at February 4, 2006 06:58 PMI didn't catch all the understandables. I thought it was good though. I thought the gentleman who sided that he thought coverage was good on the Woodruff/cameraman incident, looked intent on listening to why you thought other things should be talked about more... like the Medal of Honor winner. I thought your bringing up their names, actual facts, hammered it home.
And the blue was nice. You looked really good. Not like some geek who hides behind a computer and is afraid of speaking to the public. An intelligent sociable blogger.
My 2 cents.
