Truth is I don't understand why Apple loves the color orange so much. After this year, and so many iterations of orange, they still cling to orange? Why? I would love to see different shades of pink.

I would like to see more pinks, too. The two pinks in these leaked colors just seem like a washed out Pink Sand and another Pink Citrus to me. I would like to see a nice medium pink with no orange in it. I only wear sport loops so my pink collection is limited to knockoffs of pomegranate and pink pearl.
 
Was re-watching the September keynote on YouTube to hype myself for Tuesday's event when I noticed that one of the presenters seemed to be wearing the Hermès Rouge de Cœur/Rouge H Jumping Single Tour a whole six months before it went on sale!?

It's around the 19:06 mark if anyone's interested in checking the video out.

I’m seeing Scarlet Modern Buckle, or perhaps Rouge Piment. I wonder if a presenter has ever worn Hermes. Maybe Angela Ahrendts?
 
Calamine Lotion? 😉 Just kidding…more like Pearl Pink.
I mean, it does appear to at least glow/pop like pistachio and cantaloupe, but yeah kind of disappointing across the board.

Maybe now they’re rebooting pink sand like they did with all the defaults when the last the redesign happened.

We will have to find our pleasure elsewhere. Really pulling for bolder color-blocked sport loops.
 
Majin Bu is going in! That last one is looking hella earthy and pumpkin-y, need the band. I’m getting the feeling some spring band colors that didn’t make it to iphone cases might now be cases…seeing Mallard above and Tomales here. And perhaps this blue leather will be a Leather Link.

Would love the deep purple and yellowish brown as a leather loop!

I wonder how reliable he is?
Occam’s razor tells me the fake case manufacturers have seen the real ones and aren’t wasting money getting it wrong. These are all apparently counterfeits or possibly counterfeits but they were all on point in the spring.

Seems Apple is repeating the purple iPhone color from the spring 12, not gonna hold my breath that that adds the purple colors to the watch band line.

Not sure about during keynotes, but Angela Ahrendts has definitely been photographed wearing Hermès.

He was spot on for the summer case colors so it's likely he's right with regards to the fall line of cases.

Perfect! Can't wait to buy the dark purple and yellowish brown leather cases and leather loops!
 
Sounds like a classic new thread for this sub forum. I wonder how well matching official team html/pantone colors and the apple hero images would work, as a starting point.

If spring 2020 was 12 szn, for sure spring 2021 is big for Michigan Wolverine fans. And the Padres.
@tucogovinda & @athousandbands:
I made a google docs spreadsheet so we can crowdsource recommendations from users here.

Link
NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL: OEM AW Band Recommendations (Google Sheets)

There are 4 tabs. Only guidelines I have is:

- Use only official Apple or Nike Sport Bands or Sport Loops
- Use abbreviations SB and SL for Sport Band and Sport Loop
- Use naming convention: <Color> + <SB or SL>. For nike use: <Color> + "nike" + <SB or SL>

Any recommendations on how I can make the spreadsheet better? I thought about adding different multiple rows for each City/Team based on their different uniforms. But that could make the list 3x as long with current home and away jerseys, plus alternate and throwback jerseys. Thought I'd just make it shorter/simpler and add more columns for the different SB/SL color options.

Let me know what you all think. I'll create a new thread on this after I collect any feedback. Or if this is a dumb idea, then I'll just stop now. lol

Just for efficiency maybe drop the “black” from the Nike names? Also maybe have a rule where Solo Loops are marked as SB. Maybe “OEM” instead of “official”

They're usually up the same day. I saw shots of braided purple & yellow, a purple Nike, solo green and lavender, and a few split two-tone loops.
