A Family And A New Trend

NEW TREND ALERT!

This was the first one I was able to catch, but these have started popping up all over my area.  Shadowy figures - hockey players in this case, but I have also seen baseball players and ballerinas - are beginning to mix in with traditional sticker families.

Terrible? Yes. Ugly?  Definitely. Infuriate me as much as sticker families?  Absolutely.

Are these really the future? My gut says no, mostly because you can't equip a shadowy figure with the same caliber of accessories as you can a traditional sticker person.  Mom's shopping bags would just look like blobs, and a child with an equestrian hobby would end up looking like a strange centaur silhouette.  We'll see where this goes, but I'm hoping it dies quickly. I can only handle one silly car fad at a time.

Also...I just want to point out that I was also able to catch a dude wearing pajamas and a trench coat in the background. Photo timing level: expert.
