HiHopes Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 I bet they were real careful about picking Canada's colours because of the problems brought up about celebrating the 150th despite Indigenous resistance against that particular way of defining "Canada." I bet their marketing campaign was very conservative: "How about we just don't use Canadian colours... How about we use the CMA blue." "Sure, probably safer and we don't get boycotted by these more-societally-aware-than-average-future-doctor types and their schools." And so the dull blue makes a return, because dull blue has never really offended anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanctaphrax Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Should be orange camo next year to add some zing to the 2022s. Whoever gets inducted into the "Secret Order" make this happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: on hindsight, we probably should've known, they always said #CMA150, not Canada 150, haha. Also, the brief serious interlude in this thread seemed to come true, the backpack isn't red and doesn't celebrate Canada's 150th birthday. Anyway, looking forward to our own orientation! Idk about that, they hyped up the Canada aspect a ton. (see pic below) Looks like they just want to avoid controversy completely by choosing every safe option. No mention of Canada (it says CMA150) and no red. Boo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycoforpsych Posted July 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 Yeah I was kinda shocked it wasn't red, but the colour is growing on me I guess. Then again, I feel like any colour would have (eventually) cause I'm just happy to be getting one haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m236 Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 The unveiling of yet another boring blue backpack was more anti-climatic than if it had been red, and everyone expected it to be red xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TechToMD Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Really thought it was going to be red. Surprised it looks so similar to last year but it really is a great colour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but then it's not a bad way to acknowledge Canada 150 without being in your face about it. Besides I think it will cover up dirt a bit better haha.

Mine is slowly falling apart at this point ha - not bad after the abuse I put it through and the 8 years of use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellorie Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Makes me feel old that my year's colour has come around again - though ours is a little darker I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
