Edit 2, 7/11/2017: Additional kits based on feedback and created a google form to capture interest. (https://goo.gl/forms/EuAJ6ijUH2btHAWq2)
Edit 1, 7/10/2017: Revised KLE-render. Added "Vintage 1976" for the namesake and made a few adjustments to the alternate choices. Novelties next. Decided this should be produced in the states if it ever happens, and will be a DSA set.

Introducing 1776
A classic colorway for those who like

Novelties

A subtle, double shot keyset with a bit of pop, likely DSA profile because 'Merica. Depending on how this IC goes, i'll start working on novelties and kits. SP color codes are currently for reference only.
While obviously inspired by the year the US of A gained independence, the name 1776 isn't meant to scream 'Murica, but was simply too good of a play on the 1976 keyset to not use.

Nonetheless goodluck. Should've gone with a different name and I wouldn't have noticed the American theme!

Thanks for the feedback! Maybe i'll come up with a non-patriotic name, as that really isn't where the initial inspiration came from.

INSTABUY in DSA. I'd pass in XDA for sure. I think this screams to be doubleshot and not dye subbed.Agreed on the double shot for this set.

Based on comments in the now XDA Melon, you'd probably want to go with XDA.
NO NO NO NO NO
It is blasphemous to manufacture this colorway and set, named after the United States of America, using a Chinese company. It should be made by Signature Plastics!!!

Lol, you're right, but this isn't the American flag itself which holds much more meaning, so I don't think people mind that much. In any case, I'm not interested in the set. The colors are nice though.

I read the title, and was like oooh, finally an IC for something I won't wanna buy. Old timey colors and DSA sound lame... then I look..
Why do you all hate my bank account so much?
In other news, you could also totally make a ridiculous flag variant with red/white stripes and then similar blue/white in the top left corner to to the vintage 1976 version.
I would be amused enough to buy it lol.

Any chance for colemak addon?
I'm flexible to add any kit if there's enough interest. :)

I have to agree with some previous comments. Very nice colorway, but FAR too nationalistic. Maybe try designing the set with those colors in mind but a little less ... murica?I'd love couple options for the "join or die" (which is a pretty bad ass slogan if you think about it) and the flag enter key, but all opinions aside, this is literally a key set based on Nationalism. It's not too nationalistic, it's exactly what is meant to be.
Can the Esc key be a rebel flag? That would really piss some folks off.
