Translation? --Alynna 03:54, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
- Upon examination of the website, I'm going to interpret this as "One of the leading velour commission dye-houses in Europe is the company RG Textil Technik GbmH in Burscheid, Germany". --Alynna 05:15, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Velour in Pop Culture
I have to say, I don't really see this fitting into any of the suggested sections of wiki guidelines. If you think it is, please let me know! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mavzor (talk • contribs) 14:36, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
I just deleted the unnecessary Pop Culture section. It read:
- Velour is the favorite fabric of the twenty five star Zapp Brannigan, of the popular TV series Futurama. His quarters (also known as the love-nasium) is host to a wide variety of velour made items, ranging from carpet, uniforms, bed sheets, etc.
- This is a comedic reference to the usage of velour in Star Trek: The Original Series' television uniforms.

- I bet most people that visit this article are looking for the Zapp Brannigan reference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.226.212.190 (talk) 21:51, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
