An important race question...

[thom]

Do these orange shorts match (or coordinate at all) with this top?

I'm thinking it will be shorts weather next weekend, and I like these shorts best. I don't like the navy with the black on the shirt, but I suppose nobody would care. I do have black shorts but I don't like them as well. The pocket is smaller you know.

I kind of want decent marathon photos if I can manage it! Now I'm itching to buy new shorts, but I do not need them.

Go with the navy. I think in pictures it will clash less than the different colors of orange. At least that's what looks better on my phone

[thom]

Yeah, on my phone the navy looks almost like black. In person it's definitely navy, but it is probably not that noticeable. I'm overthinking this because marathons make me crazy.

I vote for the Navy. From the photo they look like a different shade of black. The two oranges are clashing pretty hard for me.

[patches31709]

Definitely the navy.

[gt7301b]

The black (that you call navy) looks fine, I'd go with those.

And for the love of God don't buy new shorts and wear them the first time during the marathon:)

[sassystace]

Sorry, the oranges clash pretty bad.

I agree with the others, and I just want to commiserate. I've been searching for the perfect shade of orange running shorts for an alum run. Who knew orange was so hard?

[thom]

Ha! Yes gt7301b, I know that sounds like trouble. These are both the same shorts, and I'd just get another pair of the same in a different color. I think I'll resist though and just wear navy.

Glad you could all answer that " important" question for me!

Navy, definitely.

I agree with the navy. And I'll admit that I've been known to match my tri racing kit to my bike.

Navy, especially if it will photograph like your picture.

And ahhhh, I have no idea what I'm wearing yet!! I saw the pic they posted on fb yesterday and like the orange shirts we will be getting though!

Now I had to go look. They are very orange! I guess it's a good color for dawn/dusk to stay visible. The ones from last year were a soft fabric and I love it. I hope it's the same this year. Have you been scouting the weather yet? I'm thinking just a tee and shorts, but things could change.

Vote navy.
