    Sooner or later, someone is going to complain that they can't see the ball or shuttle with the pink background [​IMG].
    Seriously, the change in colour was supposed to be designed to do the opposite. Saw someone explaining it in a documentary earlier, before Roland Garros. But I'm not sure whether pink was the new colour, or was it blue.

    Pink and green is supposed to be a colour combination, but maybe not hot pink and dull green, lol.

    I mean the change in the colour of the courts was for some other sports which I don't remember, not badminton.

    Just blunder questions here.

    Is it possible to get in the arena to watch badminton players practicing?
    Are the tickets still available? If so, so how do we get them?

    Thanks.:)

    so maybe the color is not that bad, except for teams who decides to wear red or pink...

    looks like no special new racket for PG.

    and the court doesn't look that bad in pic. it will be unique for sure.

    looks like someone did get the memo for this year's color. so they painted the net posts orange.

    the US team will wear this for opening ceremony. apparently stirred up quite a lot of comments from American lawmakers as they are all made in China...

    I wonder if the clothes were made in France, Italy or Japan, would there be any complaints? :rolleyes:

    that will never happen. they won't be able to afford it if it were made in those countries. ;)

    I like how Jan O is wearing Li Ning while playing against PG. Now if he can dye his hair black, he can pretend to be Chen Long! :cool:
