LAIDinUSA Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 i received my City of Hope Green Day shirt today and it's a totally different color! The picture on the CoH site featured a sage green shirt and i received a kelly green shirt instead. i have to admit i'm a little sad about it because i really liked the sage color better. my assumption is that the shirts were a hot seller and they couldn't keep up with the demand. if you check the site now it says that the next batch of shirts wont ship until August 22. did anyone else experience the same thing? on a personal note: the shirt is really cool and i'm glad it's for a good cause. just this past Tuesday my girlfriend's cousin went to City of Hope Hospital to have a brain tumor removed. the procedure went extremely well and he is making a good recovery. my thanks to CoH and their great staff!
basKT_case90 Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 i just placed my order today. I personally prefer the sage green version. Hopefully when they restock it'll be that one. I just think the kelly green is just too...'green', well for me anyway.
Jaymee!! Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 Mmm I'm waiting for mine, I got an email saying it was shipped out earlier this week...I really hope it's in the sage green, that's what I liked about it so much.
LAIDinUSA Posted August 20, 2011 Author Posted August 20, 2011 let me know what color you get. i'm curious to see if the shirt pictured was totally wrong or if they were forced to print on whatever they could find to fill orders
whatserbmae Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 I got mine yesterday, and mine is also very dark green, nothing close to the sage green color that it was supposed to be. It looks good, but I would have preferred the sage green color, so I'm pretty disappointed. I ordered it basically right after they put them up for sale, so I'm surprised they already run out.
BillieJoe1972 Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 I'm waiting for mine to arrive. I'll post which shade of green I get when I receive it.
Jaymee!! Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 I got mine, and it indeed was a different shade of green. Not the worst, but not what I ordered and therefore I am unhappy on that level. I still really love the shirt though, it's so pretty! I'm just going to have the sleeves shortened so it looks like a women's shirt instead of a men's.
Brigister Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Sorry for my ignorance, but WHAT is City of Hope? .-.

raven052 Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 Yep, recieved mine today, same colour everyone's discribing. (I actually like this green better though ) All in all, really nice shirt. Wonder how long it'll take for my parents to spot I've got another Green Day t-shirt. Really glad it's for such a good cause too, must admit I didn't actually know about the charity before this, nice to have something like this brought to my (and others, obviously) attention.
Bundita Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 I wanted the sage one too but here are pics of the 2 colors:
KilljoyFromDetroit Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 Ordered mine about 3 weeks ago, still hasnt come in, but i ould be happy with either color
BillieJoe1972 Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 I received my shirt a few weeks ago and the first thing I thought when I opened the package was "Wow, that's green!!". It's definately not the color green I expected it to be but I'm still very happy with it. Another Green Day shirt to add to my collection!!
