surferchick2 said:Other than one having brass and the other silver hardware, I notice quite a few get f/w 04 anis & the s/s 04 yellow confused. Even BNY sent me the wrong colored tassels, then it took months to get it corrected! Next to each other, it's pretty easy distinguishing which city is which. They're very different other than the light green undertone along the edges which is identical.

Have you been hiding this?
Do you mean that yellow's a mustard 2003 since it has silver or is it really from ss 2004? I didn't know there was one for that season since it's not on the chart unless it's fw 2004 with the brass. Maybe I've been living under a rock, but I've never seen a yellow city with silver hardware. **clicked on the thumbnail-definitely silver. Nice combination. I guess there's another obscure yellow**
There's three yellows (so far, 
) - mustard from 2003 with the silver hardware, anis from f/w 2004 (sort of a lemon lime colour), and the newly discovered marigold, also from f/w 2004 - a true yellow like the mustard, but with brass hardware.

Can someone please post a picture of her 2003 yellow and the tag? BNY told me there were two yellows: A spring/summer 2004 yellow with silver and the fall/winter 2004 darker yellow with brass. Mine is definitely the s/s 04 (a "C" tag) and we know there's a f/w yellow (with a B tag). They're not aware of a yellow in 2003 at all. If there is one from that year and can confirm it, BNY should know about it so they don't get the shade mixed up with one of the 04 seasons in case of repairs/replacements since it's not even on their list or in their database.
Thanks for posting pics! Strange....I'm sure most bbag owners don't care since there aren't many around, lol, but I'd still like to see if anyone has a pic of 2003 tags so I can advise BNY to update their list with confimation in hand. I guess their accuracy on colors turned into a peeve after the tassel hassle and now that I'm touching up a couple of older bags. I've attached the s/s 04 bag & tag just simply called "yellow" according to BNY. So that makes 3 yellows in a row plus anis.
