The Old Is Now New

Edmonton has decided to go with a new look to the police cars. They have decided to go with the black and white look. This is going back to the classic look for a police car. We had these colours going back I would say at least 50+ years at least.. I am 48 and I do not remember seeing these colours. I have seen police cars this colour that have been used in parades.
Our current colours are a white car with a red and blue stripe running down the side. I think I like this much bettter

[karenann]

This is cool!! Love the color . . this LOOKS like a police car!!

[bkb in the city]

@karenann Exactly. It will be interesting to see what people think about them

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It certainly makes help more identifiable that way! Good shot.

[bkb in the city]

@olivetreeann Thanks. I would have to agree with that sentiment for sure

[Brenda Baird]

We could maybe use the example and go back to the simpler ways in a lot of other areas!

[bkb in the city]

@doitforfun That would be nice

[Anne ❀]

lots of police forces around --- different towns, provincial, federal, old, new, SUV's, etc, i can't keep track of the colours any more. these looks fast and very clean! looks like an unmarked one across the street. cool street shot.

@sunnygreenwood Thanks

[Kerri]

[Paula]

It does look very classic - I like it!

[Carolyn White]

I like the black and white cars. Nice capture!

[Vicki Kell]

intersting facts, good photo

[MikiChelle]

Very cool car. Like the old style better

[Laurie Higgins]

I love black and white police cars - the symbolism is perfect (good guys, bad guys, white hat, black hat) and they are so instantly recognizable.

[bkb in the city]

@lauriehiggins That is very true

[bkb in the city]

@mikichelle Me too

[bkb in the city]

[bkb in the city]

@kerristephens Thank you

[jerry plume]

Great look as long as its not in your rear view mirror!

[bkb in the city]

@orangecrush so true

[Janet Morris]

Cool, it's what they always use on telly and film, brilliant!

[Shirley Chetwynd]

I think i prefer this car and colour better.

[Shanne]

interesting colours - ours are all fluorescent colours - possibly to stand out in traffic

[Jennifer C]

they do look like something from the 1970's, very traditional! coool!!!

[Sharon]

nicely done - though the rubbish in the gutter is not legal.

[Sheralee S]

It looks great! They will stand out in the traffic at least.

[quinty]

Sounds like a good call! - very Blues Brothery

[quinty]

I will show you one of our police cars one day soon too.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Very nice.

[Howard Steele]

nice catch,cool shot

[adobe waters]

OK now you know what to look for - of course not saying you have any reason to be watching!!

[Carole]

I like it, it's kind of quirky, nice shot

[Emma]

Very iconic, classical style

[stephanie dp]

sometimes old school is the best way. that's why they call them "black + whites". . .

[John]

Cool shot

@emmar84 Sometimes it is better to just leve things the way they once were

[Pam Hawkes]

Very interesting. Calgary has not switched to the retro look.

[bkb in the city]

@pamfromcalgary May be they will eventually catch up to us hahaha

[bkb in the city]

@bruni Thanks for the comment

[bkb in the city]

@melorac Thanks, interesting way of describing it

[bkb in the city]

@adobewaters Well since I don't own a car I guess that means I don't have to watch out to much

[bkb in the city]

@steeler Thanks

[bkb in the city]

@mittens Thanks

[bkb in the city]

@quinty Looking forward to that

[bkb in the city]

@bella_ss Maybe that was one of the reasons why they changed

[bkb in the city]

@sharonthompson I was wondering if anyone was going to notice that

[bkb in the city]

@jenrobcarr Glad you enjoyed it

[bkb in the city]

@shanne That I would love to see

[bkb in the city]

@http365proj Me too

[bkb in the city]

@mummymorris I am glad they have gone with these

[Alta D©]

i always love a b&w police car. We collect the matchbox version of police cars.

[Mary]

I think this is better...they really stand out more in case your speed in a little excessive, you can slow down before you get up to them!

[bkb in the city]

@buttercup Thanks for the comment

[bkb in the city]

@altadc Those are great to collect

[summerfield]

the black and white works for me as well as the old one. as long as they do their job well, it's what counts. nice shotl.

[bkb in the city]

@summerfield They really do a great job. Thanks for the comment

[Maaikel]
