What's your favorite Duck Tape pattern?

Flames grabbed first place on day one and held it for all 25 days, but that overstates the dominance: it closed with just 16.3% of 4,749 votes, beating Orange Tie Dye by a mere 46 votes — one point. Behind them, Argyle, Peace, Polka Dot and Skulls all cleared 9%, so six patterns finished within 6.6 points of the lead.

The split cuts hard by gender. Flames voters ran 65 men to 40 women, the most male-leaning option on the board. Flip it around: Peace pulled 52 women to 9 men, Polka Dot 43 to 9, Argyle 59 to 21. The 'tough' patterns split close; the softer ones were a near-landslide with women.
