Added to poll.

I think we may need 2 votes... I've signed off on adopting neXt-Metals, but I am instantly liking fleX-Metals a lot, and considering the nature of the discussion I don't see why we should limit ourselves to only one name for these. There seems to be enough discussion, debate, discontent, disagreement, or in some cases good old fashioned denial - more than one name seems to make sense.

Can we all get a second vote? Top two names are the unofficial forum names for these?

I already originally set the poll to allow two votes per voter...

Well played!!! I did not notice that at first.

My vote has been adjusted
...still suggesting we accept the top 2 names

Where?
I've been asking for someone to show me for weeks now...
Show me a pair with the logo...
Show me a page on Oakley's site that calls these X-Metals directly without referring to some context within a 'collection'.
Please, show me something 'Oakley proper' - not some 3rd party distributor marketing junk!

I have said this too many times now.
The Madman and Badman are:
"Inspired by the attitude of our famed X Metal® collection" - Oakley's words, Copyright ©2014 Oakley, Inc. All Rights Reserved, not mine
& they are part of "The XMetal® Collection"
and a handful of other marketing phrases, none of which call these out as X-Metals, proper.

Do you have a pair?
I have three - two Badman and one Madman...
Tell me where - anywhere - on the box, frame, case, bag, etc... where is the X-Metal logo/branding?

Please, tell me - someone? - and pics or it didn't happen!

I don't disagree about these being part of the trademarked, copyrighted, and sucked dry for every dollar that Oakley can get "The XMetal® Collection". That collection includes belts, jeans, t-shirts, display items, and a bunch of other stuff NOT made of X METAL!!!

So yeah - OF course there are XMetal® Collection items that are not X-Metal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is so difficult to understand about this?
It is not an either/or question.
This is not binary.

THERE ARE X-METALS
AND THERE IS "The XMetal® Collection"
THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS
The Badman and Madman are part of the latter...



That is fact until someone can prove otherwise. At which point everything else in this post is still accurate and I reserve the right to maintain my own opinion presuming evidence to the contrary.

I feel better now

Yeah it doesn't say it on the box but it's not like that's a legal requirement. They very well could have made the packaging before the finalized the decision to actually call them x-metals.

But, with this screenshot from the Oakley website and email they sent out, denying that they're calling them x-metals is just wishful thinking. Unfortunately.
