I've seen a few Breast Cancer events where the very fact of so many women all wearing the one colour SHOUTS out their support, just as you say. Would it be as strong in green or yellow?

I've had conversations with a few breast cancer survivors who don't really care for the commercialization of pink, but like me, can't ignore the rallying support of a sea of pink at Race for a Cure. Nothing pulls you more across a finish line than knowing at a glance 10,000 people are cheering for you because they are all wearing the very same pink you are.<br /><br />I have a pink (and black, gray and white) cycling jersey honoring a breast cancer victim who did not survive, and I wear it with pink socks. I've found myself looking for pink shorts a couple of times because sometimes the black shorts just don't seem like enough of a statement...Snowcatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06360228352528558176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004808233977332633.post-42081940393342477262015-04-26T09:42:28.411+01:002015-04-26T09:42:28.411+01:00@ Sarah - if its works, why break it?

You're right - it does sneak up on you. It's an easy color to associate with happiness and energy, though there are plenty of other nice colors that are more gender neutral. On that note...going to find a new color palette :-)Sarahhttp://www.girlscanrunfast.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004808233977332633.post-10211020987409605262015-04-24T17:36:47.949+01:002015-04-24T17:36:47.949+01:00@ Sarah - it sneaks up on you I guess.

I just clearly need to pay more attention when I'm shopping and try to go more for the rainbow look as you say rather than all-pink. real girl sporthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16378332226082962725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004808233977332633.post-51453469330040705512015-04-24T13:41:49.250+01:002015-04-24T13:41:49.250+01:00If I were to conduct a similar survey of my runnin...If I were to conduct a similar survey of my running clothes, I'm afraid I would reach a similar conclusion, i.e. that I've inadvertently pinked myself out! Am I a closeted pink lover? Like you said, I rarely wear pink in anything other than athletic gear. Or is it just that there are so few other color options in women's athletic clothing? I recently went to replace a running shirt and I don't recall having many other color options. The problem for me is that I do like bright colors. They make me happy, and if I can be a running blur of a rainbow, then why not? But perhaps trying to achieve a rainbow would be a much more positive/powerful message than being all pink.Sarahhttp://www.girlscanrunfast.comnoreply@blogger.com
