shikimate Posted May 30, 2021 Report Share Posted May 30, 2021 Do you guys think CMA/OMA still have the old ones somewhere in a warehouse or can we order them through high sierra? The straps on mine are falling apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The straps on mine are falling apart. I think I looked into it at one point several years ago and was told that if they couldn't repair mine they'd send me another colour. So I just took it to a random tailor and got it mended. shikimate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessGliaOrgana Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 I just don't want grey or dark blue. Those colors are too bland, I feel like I've now become accustomed to seeing the bright CMA backpacks across campus and anything less than blinding is dull.

MK. Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 Update. :) Does this mean UofC is soon to hold orientation week? That's pretty early and sad. MaudeB, jmn753 and Vons 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

who_knows Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 Grey is too bland, I agree, but dark blue is very cool, I hope it's a winner. Burgundy red is also not bad as long as it turns out not too bright. If it's pink, orange or bright blue, I am not using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EthicsForBreakfast Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 I don’t think they’d do us dirty with grey. I’m personally hoping for something bright and fun but would be happy with burgundy if they go dark/neutral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EthicsForBreakfast Posted July 5, 2021 Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 Disappointing. Considering there were new options like bright blue, pink, etc and they went with one that a cohort (2013) has already had? I think I would have preferred yellow or grey.

TheFlyGuy Posted July 5, 2021 Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 As a bumblebee, I would like to formally welcome the pylons to the profession of medicine! Real talk though, I was against yellow, but orange takes the cake; at least it's a darker orange I suppose?

MSWschnoodle Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 I love the med backpacks... if anyone doesn't want theirs I will happily give it a home! The straps on mine have fallen apart Given the news lately, I think the dark orange is a very topical and relevant colour. From the pictures I saw on Twitter it's a much nicer orange than the traffic pilon orange a few years ago LostLamb and hbmed 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, I actually think it's a reasonably nice orange based on the pictures I've seen - if my eyes melt upon seeing the backpack in person some day I will revise my vote to something other than "eh, seems fine to me". They still haven't done the nearly fluorescent pink they've threatened on a few of the polls in more recent years I cannot imagine what the internet outrage machine would say if they did.

But seriously, for some people it's hard to use bright pink/blue Barbie colours, it will literally mean never using the backpack and never having this experience. I think, the colours should be neutral or individualized for each person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, the colours should be neutral or individualized for each person. they only problem is the backpacks are supposed to be advertising - I mean that is why MD financial is helping pay for them. That means they would have to stand out. Plus they are trying to create class cohesion - so same colour (plus cheaper to order X in the same colour etc.). Bottom line is there are other objectives at play here. LostLamb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
