Clearly Pioneer needs a higher quality staff. I'm not sure Roman is willing to give up design control though. I know a few people who have backed away from Pioneer because of the no guys allowed in the guard. It's hard for someone to turn this corps around with the restrictions put on them.
I've never been a fan of the orange trim. Old story. In 97 or 98 Cesario did a uniform for us. It had a grey top (looked kinda like cavies) with a plaid sash and black pants and aussie. Looked so awesome. Roman hated it and we got the 27th lancer things with the spats.
