Are reels getting a little to flashy?

I was piddling around on tackle warehouse, and noticed that a lot of the reels are really flashy! I mean, they do look good, but you'll have to match with an other flashy rod to make it look good. Their are very few reels out there that have a "classic" look to them. Kind of like loomis rods are. I mean, what rod are ya gonna add to a loomis to make it look like a good combo?

Ardent is one brand that has shyed away from flashy blingy reels. Why can't other companies have reels that are more classic looking? Along side of the bling reels.

Don't get me wrong, I love the look of the revo premier, Zillion Type R, and all those, but not with a classic rod like a loomis or Lammiglas.

What do you guys think?
