Are white bands in fashion this year?

[Garye]

Because I just saw a homing pigeon with the ferals wearing one. He or she is sort of reddish-white but is distinctly wearing the newest fad, I believe.

Someone around here has got homers. I've got to find out where. They're starting to pop up everywhere now.

The IF bands are white this year. Don't really know what color the AU bands are. So, all 2007 IF banded birds, (for the most part) will have white bands. You CAN special order any color you want for extra money......but white is the cheapest way.......

Ok folks.....let's stop the bickering.

There's no need to be insulting, picking at each other, or trying to "bait" others into an arguement.

Please see the Forum Rule of Conduct, in particular Number 3.

Thank you,

Well that explains why the "new" bird on the flock is sporting a white band. He or she did look kinda young.

I just gotta find out who has the homers around here. I wonder if they know they're making pit stops at the mall here. They're like kids - they like to hang out at the mall.

I apologize Linda,,, I guess I just got a little tired of someone thinking we all had to hold to their way of thinking,, The last I checked,, and I do know my scripture, Jesus didn't care to much for extremist (and, or) fanatics either,,,
I normally take the "high road",, in this case,, I didn't..

Well in Massachusetts there are about 300 flyers there ,, if you can find some one with a american racing pigeon union book he or she can get you close to someone in your state we had are first race last weak but was canceled cause of weather,,, Does this bird have a green band on it also or a Wide rubber band on the other foot if not it was lost on training flights

Maybe someone needs glasses,,, I don't believe you can call the AU and request "Light grey" bands,,, sorry...Not even in "vanity" type bands.
You will see every 5 yrs,, they start again at the top...

George,,,
Just to clarify your light grey vs white,,, if you will look closely,, you will notice its the acrylic that is tinted,, the bands are all white underneath,, printed on white paper,,, So next yrs bands will be "white" with a tinted red acrylic,,,
I print on acrylics every day,, its not what you'd call optically clear.
Anyway,,, I don't get your point other than to argue. And I assume,, the International Federation of Pigeons orders there's from the same Belguim mfging comp. that the ARPU does.
Either way,, I doubt that each band is certified and checked to be optically clear.
Yours in the sport
