Default So I ordered a new Icon jacket and...

So last week I ordered a new blue Icon Hooligan Battlecry jacket from a local dealer and it came in yesterday. I stopped by the store to pick it up and couldn't beleive what the damn thing looked like. I ordered a blue jacket, the tag on the jacket says blue, and the Icon site only lists gray and blue as the colors. However, the jacket is completely PURPLE! It's not even close to blue. The Icon gloves I bought were blue, just as they were on the website but the jacket looks completely different. I told the shop I didn't want the jacket and they said they'd see what I could do to get something else.

Anyone else ever have a problem like this with Icon? Could it be that just this one jacket came out the wrong color or is Icon selling a jacket that's completely different from the one on their website? Here's the jacket I bought...

Yes indeed. On the site, it's as obvious as purple can be but w/o Barney in the background.

I'm just glad I bought it at a shop instead of ebay. At least I was able to return it instead of being stuck with the ugly thing. I still think it looks blue on Icon's site and so has everyone I've shown the picture to outside of this thread.

Meh, lesson learned either way. I just exchanged it for a different jacket that's good old black and white. Again, I'm sure glad I didn't order the damn thing on Ebay to save $10. Purple/blurple/whateverthedamncoloris ftl
