Really think motiv has great equipment, but hate their color schemes on their equipment 

I am always amazed at how color schemes play in what a person likes or doesn't like.  I am not trying to berate anyone because I have my own color hatreds, but what type of color schemes do you like Joker?  Motiv has just as many different color schemes as anyone else and they use pretty much the same colors as anyone else, so what part of Motiv's colors specifically do you not like?

Personally, I won't buy a ball with orange in it (or try not to).  Mainly to do with me graduating from Texas A&M and our hatred of University of Texas (we are cult-like in that aspect).  My wife thinks I have a screw loose because I won't even touch orange some times.

I liked the way storm did their color schemes, it wasnt the reason why I threw storm equipment, but their color scheme was on point for me. To me the motiv colors seem pretty bland and wasn't really an eye catcher for me

I think some of them are really decent looking, but looking at the shock, panic, rage, tag, covert revolt, ect, these all look so plain just being one solid color.

The deal on the solid color balls with the contrasting vivid color in the Neomark logo which has changed in the last few releases is what makes the ball attractive for most when seeing it go down the lane (depending on your rev rate).  When the ball turns over/revs the solid vs. the Neomark logo is quite good looking IMO.   

My Venom Shock has gotten quite a few remarks about how good it looks. 

I think that's why one reason Motiv has named the new Forza REDLINE in that it will be quite dramatic when the ball revs with it's red graphics in the logo vs. the yellow colored cover.   

Maybe I'm just a motiv hater lol

Nothing wrong with that. There are brands I wouldn't have in my bag if they were offered to me for free. LOL

At least for me, solid colors make it easier to read down lane motion and something I like about the Motiv line.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought part of the reason why Brunswick moved is because they struggled to pour multi-colored balls in their old facility (at least, they couldn't pour the colors in a pleasing way). It looks to me like Motiv - using the old Brunswick facilities - has the same limitation, which is why they needed to come up with something bold and colorful to offset those limitations. Hence, the NeoMark graphics were incorporated, and these look great. I love the way that the two Forzas have looked.

I always thought the Brunswick Attitude line looked really good aesthetically.

This is entirely untrue.

MOTIV has a separate plant from the old Brunswick plant.  Always have been and always will be 2 separate operations and buildings.

I was just about to say that Justin.

Here is a link that should prove it to anyone interested.

Honestly, I thought this too. I remember seeing or hearing a report that the one who started motiv used to work for brunswick and then left when they decided to move to Mexico and started motiv. So thought he took over the facility or something

Tech-Line(Motiv parent company) used to make Cores for Brunswick, but was always a company of it's own. They also make other items that your local pro-shop probably uses.
