Join us for the first half of our General Conference recap! We get from Saturday Morning through the Priesthood session. So much great stuff was taught over the past weekend. Love was felt. The spirit was hearkened. Passive voice was used.

What is the Tie-Tracker? We kept track of every tie worn throughout this weekend’s General Conference. Why?
Why not?
Well it was a big win for stripes, folks. Patterned ties surged during the final session, but in the end, no one could touch the stripes.
As expected, red ties dominated the color palette. Blue was a close second, but the real surprise was purple, with six appearances.
It took until the Priesthood session for green to show up for the games, but in the end, it beat out yellow, orange, silver, and brown. Good job, green!
And really, yellow and orange basically only happened because The Silver Fox has mutant tie-changing abilities.
Eyesore Much?
