BF Blue Vs BF Yellow

Post by Dragon Master »

I've always wanted to know which people like better and why.

I vote for Blue, becuase it seems to fit the BF color scheme better than the Yellow.

I prefer the blue because it matches the figs better. But just because I prefer the blue doesn't mean I don't like the yellow. Both are awesome, but blue is slightly more awesome. :)

Ditto. The Black Falcons I had when I was a kid were always black and blue in color, no red belts or yellow shields. It just seems...'right'...that way. :wink:

Aye! Blue just goes with em. The yellow, I'll admit gives just enough contrast, but I still like blue soldiers. I mean, can you imagine YELLOW falcons?

The yellow shields don't make the slightest ounce of sense to me. I don't hate them, but given the color scheme of Black Falcon figures in general, the yellow shield is a distant second to the blue shield.

I voted yellow for two reasons. A) My only BF shield is yellow, and B) to be contrary. :P

Seriously, though, the yellow border adds a touch of contrast to an all black-and blue figure.

Yellow.

Blue definitely goes better with the soldiers, and were I to equip a Falcon army, I would much prefer blue-rimmed shields.

That said, this poll asked what shield I LIKED better, not what shield MATCHED better.

I like the yellow one better. Enough said.

Blue. The only time I would use yellow ones are when I only had 1 blue: Now I have over 25 blue, and my yellow ones haven't been used since. They don't match the figs or theme - I would use them if it was for figure that wasn't Black Falcon, but never for a Black Falcon itself. They never made sense to me.

Well, i like blue because it looks more classic and old, which is good. I don't actually care if the shield IS old, it just LOOKS old :wink:

Blue!

In my opinion it is the only one that really fits in with the rest of the fig. The yellow is somewhat misplaced..':?'

Then there is the thing with the GREEN flags that the BF have in some earlier set(s?).

I like the Yellow Shield much better. It complements the monochrome blue (if not counting silver and black) Falcon torso quite well. The BF's seemed to have a more equal proportion of sets with yellow and blue shields than the Lions did, atleast in the beginning.

I also like the old white and green Falcon flag combination (stokes the conversational fire a bit more... :wink: ). Any accessory or flag combination that adds diversity to a theme without being too distracting is good. I think the Yellow border shields do this well.
