Three months ago the SC Video Feature asked trainers and drivers the story behind their choice of colours, and many participants noted that the colours were steeped in family tradition. Just how attached are they to keeping those colours pure and traditional?
This past April, a real estate company in New York offered its agents a 15 percent raise if they inked themselves with a permanent tattoo featuring the company logo, thus becoming "walking billboards" for their employer.

Would you consider changing your silks to advertise for a business?
