Since it's been a couple of years since a COY was released, reminisce if you will to those bygone days of the COY. Which one was the best in your humble opinion? Why one appears better to you than another?
Sorry, left off turquoise, since it ran more than a couple of years.

I voted for Blue Boy. It's so light, delicate, and childlike. Just like me.

To quote a much-beloved Aussie olympics commentator: "Gold, gold, gold!"

Sea Green and Blue Boy are high on my list but there is something totally fabulous about a gold finish.....

Don't know why exactly but Monty Brown has always floated this boat.

Monte, hands down...

I like 'em all, except...Desert Gold has never hit me just right...too bland?

Top two:

For a solid: Blue Boy

For a Burst: Monte Brown

I'd love to see a pale green like one of the Fender Custom Color greens.

Pearl orange or apricot would also be very, very nice.

Monte is my favorite.

Blue Boy, most definitely.

I was torn between Monty and AFG but Monty got the nod.

I was never that crazy for most of the COYs, but Blue Burst (done right) is my favorite.

AFG means Classic, Vintage Rick to me.

I like the AFG. I know it's not that much of a departure, but some of them, particularly the ones that were back ordered and came out in 2008, are amazing.

Monte brown was cool too. The other solid colors didn't work so much for me but I agree with Paul W., I'd love to see a pale green color.

Yep! +1!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd like to see a pale custom color green as well Paul...I already have a pair of Converse All Stars to match.

Monty - somehow I think it's Freudian - next COY should be Harngelb
