This hasn't been asked in a while

So with all the other burning color question that must be answered, there is one that hasn't come up in a while and must be addressed. If I wear a yellow helmet and black gear should I have a yellow hood to match the helmet, black to match the gear or a contrasting color for visiblility. Same if I wear a red helmet and tan gear, or a white helmet. And should I take into consideration if I will be riding in a red truck or a yellow engine. I mean if you are not fashionable on the fireground it could set a bad tone with the residents who already think it took you too long to respond anyway. (Since you couldn't figure out if you should run your red lights with your Q siren or just blue and use the air horn on your way to the station.)

I havent done that in almost 5 years. But it just might look good with the black knee pads on my pants.

this photograph is just wrong on so many levels... you my friend are definitely a twisted unit... I'm shocked that you would suggest that this was me in the above photograph. seriously? there is absolutely no sense of color coordination going on here! there is no way I'd wear red shoes with a blue helmet and leopard thong... plus, check the guy out, no hair...

but guess what? I managed to locate through a simple internet search, a photo of you vacationing somewhere in the land of OZ... I guess you guys just do things a little different down there... um... good for you!

Better talk to WestPhilly, I've posted this picture numerous times in the past. It is WestPhilly and he greatly resents being misrepresented as something other.

I've been avoiding these kinds of questions since I asked the guys if my ensemble made me look fat. I didn't get the answer I was hoping for... ;-/

the reality Norm is that if you are fat, then you are fat... let's say you want to be spiderman... if your fat, then no matter how hard you try to not look fat, your fat... many can feel your pain Norm...

even this guy...
