Silks Input Needed

Post by Marley Oaken »

Alrighty, I'm contemplating changing the silks I've had since I originally played years ago. I really don't want to change them since I've had them since 2013 (not that I've consistently played since then, but yeah), but I've realized something... people might not understand what's on them. So I need to take a little survey. Take a look at the pink design on my silks, please. What do you think it is? Is it just a regular cross to you or something else?

It's actually drumsticks. I can see it right away, but I obviously know what they are and I'm a professional drummer so my mind automatically equates the tapered ends to the tips of sticks. However, I'm thinking it's not as obvious to others as it is to me. If the consensus is "I didn't realize they're drumsticks" I'm thinking a change is due, no matter how sentimental they are, haha. Thanks in advance!

(Also I hope this was the right board to post this in! Sorry if it's not!)

I thought it was a regular cross until you said to look closely. Could you maybe get them turned 45* so they are more of an X?

I’m with Rochelle. Maybe rotate them so they are at irregular angles.

Or put pink versions of these on?

At first glance, it appears to be a cross or perhaps even a star of some kind. But I can see the drumsticks now. Perhaps just modify the drumsticks to have more definition, or cross closer to the tips?

Dang it, now I want fried chicken!

So the whole thing was I wanted it to be in the shape of the cross (I work in the Christian rock industry so it ties in with my faith and my career), not crossed like drumsticks usually would be. However, after Frank's comment I'm thinking I'd better change it if that comes to mind (I didn't even know that was a thing lol) xD.

Still it's tough to change it after having them for so long... but considering I took a long break, it could be like the start of something new? I dunno, I'm putting too much thought into this I think LOL I appreciate the input, guys!

Really? No way! Maybe there's a bit of hope for them, ha... but I do think I'm going to change them based on the overall input. Thanks, everyone! I really appreciate it!
