ULTIMA Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 This is driving me nuts. It shouldn't and it probably is a little thing to nit-pick about. But I dunno where it came from, I dunno where it started but I'm reading it more and more and for the first time a customer said it in person and used the word "clean" to describe gear. I don't know what the hell this means. First it started out as "dirty" and then "filthy" (which sounds silly to me) but what is clean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max27 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 im pretty sure, its meaning that the graphic looks really good. not like overly busy or simple. i have not a clue how to explain it lmfao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose75 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Whatever it is supposed to be it sure beats "deadass". I die a little inside when I hear people use that one. It sounds so moronic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically used when something has a simple design that is bold, immediately recognizable, and the aforementioned crispness. Then again, they could also being referring to the fact these sets have no puck marks yet... clean. But likely the first explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayluv54 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 It's not busy, its clean. A design can have "clean" lines which are typically smooth and neat. Not a lot of bold or angular cuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coopaloop1234 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I get it, I think it's heavily overused and not properly for that matter either. I woudn't contribute the warrior images as "clean" Something like this would suffice in my opinion. Simple, not overly busy, clear designation for colours. The use of a lot of white is also a decent contributor towards a "clean" looking set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seagoal Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I do love how current Warrior gear looks shiny and leathery. I think it is by far the most aesthetically sexy gear on the market and they always look like they should come with whiskey and a cigar, especially the pads with the color zones like so and the middle section left blank. It's amazing looking.....very "clean." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnyman666 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I noticed “aggressively clean” in one pic in @ULTIMA‘s original post. Does “aggressively clean” imply a person with OCD was festidiously cleaning these angrily with a tooth brush? Back to the discussion at hand...
