Gay Rainbow Sprinkles!!!!! Picked it up. Get the new version(s) every year 
Great. When it was a hypothetical, I was fine, but with that picture I can practically taste it! Not sure I'm going to clear this craving until I go on an ice cream hunt... I'll never find anything as quaint as that ice cream shoppe though...
There's no way that place has a sign that doesn't say "Shoppe"...
Reminds me of my current Desktop image on my MacBook Air:Next year we want this color combination back.
They need to get someone like that designer from HGTV, David Bromstad, to do better designs for them. This year’s misses the mark.
Disagree. All colors are integrated, spread evenly together. No one group at the top or bottom, left or right.
Also, every band is different and the pattern will vary from one to the other. Just like how no two people in the lgbt community are the same. Still a lot of good symbolism in this band.
Seeing a lot of people who don't like this year's pride band. Here's a cool tip, you don't have to buy it!
I won't lie, I REALLY like that Black Unity Sport band.
Checking their website, they still sell the braided Pride band. I might consider getting that one instead.
In the meantime, I'm REALLY enjoying the orange Alpine Loop for the Apple Watch Ultra. I took it to the beach a few days ago and it didn't make my wrist itch or feel gross like a lot of the silicone, rubber, or metal bands do when I get them wet. I wonder if they'd make a Pride Alpine Loop someday...
3rd Party accessory time, I guess.
disagree :nattK ....
What exactly are you disagreeing with? Am I wrong about how to get the wallpaper? You don't want anyone to share it?
They must be running out of variations on this annual theme as these just don’t look that great to me compared to some past efforts. But I do like that they make the effort every year. That’s nice to see.
Gay and latino, sorry to say these are crazy ugly. Call me old-fashioned, but I want my rainbow back. The rainbow already includes sexual minorities. Pride isn't about race or ethnicity. There are other celebrations, events and holidays for those. We don't expect them to include sexual orientation, let's keep our celebrations focussed on our sexual diversity.
I'm going to be instantly judging anyone who buys this. It's absolutely hideous, and not in an ironic way either. It looks like a terrible print from 1985.
The wallpaper is very good. The watch strap not so much.
I agree. It looks cool in a retro funky way but not something I will wear regularly. I wanted it for my collection and would be sad if I didn't have all of them.
Not sure what they were going for on this but the wallpaper looks great! Band, is a hot mess.
This was immediately my thought as well. There are many other (very much needed) opportunities to celebrate our ethnic diversity but that’s not what this should be about.
It really doesn’t. 🤷♂️ You should return it and put the money towards the pride braided solo loop.

The other colors are on the other half of the band; just can't see them in the picture.
