| #1 Posted on 12.1.04 1247.56 Reposted on: 12.1.11 1248.45 | (image removed) There is apparently a school of thought that subscribes to the belief that talk of my Packers tie was the final jinx yesterday. I don't buy that - what REALLY jinxed it was I actually got out of work early to watch the game instead of listening to it on the radio like I did for last week's miracle, not to mention the Cardinals miracle of the week before.
What this ultimately means is the Packers tie, which I was optimistically saving for JUST a little bit deeper into the playoffs, now goes back toward the bottom of the pile. Oh yes, I have MORE than enough ties to ensure we don't see a repeat until football season starts.
I'm not sure I've really captured how fantastically ugly this tie is. This colour scheme baffles me, frankly.
Label: DINO ORSINI PARIS - ROME - LONDON CALIFORNIA
Also, it says "XL" - which ain't no lie as this tie could easily be six inches shorter. Whoever bought this tie before me was good enough to leave the "$32.50" pricetag attached - I sure hope they didn't pay $32.50 for this tie, I must say.
Finally, I will note with pride that this 100% polyester tie was made in USA - I guess "proudly" is left to be assumed. Promote this thread! | | cranlsn

Woof.
If this picture didn't adequately do it....how ungodly garish is that thing in person.
Also...if there's anything to Packers's jinx's it could be my fault as well. I actually, for the first time in ages, went to a Packer party instead of solitarily stewing in my own little corner at home. | pieman

| #6 Posted on 12.1.04 2227.58 Reposted on: 12.1.11 2229.01 | That is actually a pretty good tie.
My guess is that it dates to the early 90's. | Ruby Trax

| #8 Posted on 13.1.04 0647.43 Reposted on: 13.1.11 0649.20 | This tie looks like early 90's to me and the super shiny material was a key element in some of the uglier NYC street vendor ties......if I had that tie, it would be in my kids' dress up box in the basement | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
