Black grounds read as night skiing whether the mountain meant them to or not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBlack-ground patches read as night skiing whether the mountain meant them to or not. There is something about a sun on a black field that suggests the lights are about to come on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe practical advantage is durability. Dark grounds hold their color while pale twill goes the shade of a tea bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSunday River does run lights, which makes the reading less accidental than it looks. A black-ground patch from a mountain with night skiing is at least arguably literal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEmbroidered on twill, merrowed edge.
