I have a Montreal Expos tie that is quite stylish if I do say so, myself :thup: - and would most certainly wear a Lions tie. Getting it produced and marketed might indeed be a challenge, but as you point out, anything to further develop the Lions brand would be a benefit.

Remember the fish tie several years back ? There was a long lineup of men at the cashiers on Boxing Day wanting a refund.

I had to vote for choice number 3. Nothing in this world will ever get me to wear a tie again, except maybe my daughters wedding

Too bad you didnt add choice number 4

yes I would buy a tie, but I would never wear it, at least not around my neck.

Ties are not exactly comfortable to wear at the best of times. Wearing one to a casual fun time at a football game would be too restrictive.

Don't think you'd sell too many of these anywhere. But at least you're trying to find new ideas.

1) I don't own any ties now.
2) If I did I don't know how to tie one up.
3) Ties kinda look stupid at work when your normal office attire is a t-shirt, blue jeans and sneakers......unless you want to dress up and wear a golf shirt.

Actually I lied in the statement 1) above. I do own one. It's been stuffed in a drawer for the last 15 years since I bought it for a job interview. The lady at the clothing store was nice enough to do it up then loosen it off so on interview day I could pull it over my head and cinch it up. Soon as I left the interview I untied it making it effectively useless due to 2) above.

Weathermen (ahem..."meteorologists" :roll:) don't wear ties anymore. Neither do Lions fans. Except me, and even then I only wear one for big business meetings and at weddings).

Not trying to slam your idea James, but I just don't see a market for them.
