Storm man costume

This is the email I just sent off to the club

To whom ever is in charge of marketing & responsible for this abomination you should be shot.

It is an ugly over padded marshmallow suit that has awful colouring too.

I don't know who you opinion tested this thing on but I can let you know this family thought it was a mistake & didn't represent the brand of storm.

Bring back the old colouring & costume style if wanted with a newer styled hood.

all in all a mistake that should have not happened in our opinion

this is incuding the opiniions of my 10 yr old & 5 yr old

Can't find a photo of it - and I can't imagine anyone who would want to - but if someone did take it - can they please post it for our general laughter and hilarity?

It was woeful wasn't it. I thought it may have been primarily due to the skydive though as i'm sure he needed more visibility than the normal mask

I knew that all you fuddy duddys would get on and bag the new storm man, get over it!
The old costume looked disgusting and dated. Out with the old and in with the new I say.
We have far far bigger concerns then the mascot getting a long over due make over.

Please enlighten me Crooner as to exactly how this new 'costume' is better than the previous one?? I'm waiting with baited breath to hear an intelligent explanation about it.
The old suit may have been in need of a few stitches here and there but how can Storm man (a figure supposed to be representing a strong and tough team) possibly be better suited to looking like a lavender marshmallow crossed with a funny eared Stormtrooper from a galaxy far far away.......

For clarifications on what storm man is meant to look like see club logo.

He needed a new suit, not a different one.

I give you marshmellow man:

All my kids hated it!!
Ages 23, 17, 11 and 9!!!
What a bunch of fuddy duddy's they are - NOT!!

Btw Crooner, the 11 and 9 yrs olds have a message for you............... :violent1:

Totally agree with everything that's been said so far (except for Crooner).

The words "helmet head" came to mind when we all first saw it - not to mention that it's freaking pink!!

What the hell were they thinking?!?!

Boom actually isn't looking too bad after all! (Can't believe I said that!)
