Why do today's corps unis have to be so tight?!?! 1 Same reason athletes wear compression sportswear. (Football, Track, Soccer, etc) Body movement. The activity is more athletic. It was bound to happen with how fast and athletic shows are, especially with body movement becoming a core part of shows these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Western Burger Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I understand what they're trying to do, but I feel like it doesn't represent Boston. The color scheme doesn't feel right to me. *on a side note, I would have killed to have pants like that when I marched. It's no surprise that the marchers love them.

Something about the color scheme is difficult for me to accept. Too much gray, I think. So, what happens to last years uniforms? I thought those were brilliant. Is a local high school somewhere about to become "Boston Crusaders" at their first halftime performance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that Boston Crusaders loves tradition, last year's uniforms may be used for parades, the encore at East Coast Classic, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Windish Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 That's good news! At my age, there is an increasing tendency to value things as they were. Cadet-style anything is a classic example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wonker Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 OK, my take on them.....not that it matters or should.........and I am not one that is opposed to costumes v uniforms, although it does start to bother me when I can't tell who is performing on the field without a program! for me, it's the color palette combo that is the bother. I do not care for the weathered/oxidized copper in the arms against the red of the legs. It strikes me as visually clumsy and busy. How vital to the story telling is the copper, truly? Given the nod to BAC's past with the gray vest and shako (I loved what they did with RISE), if the arms carried through with the red and black from the bottom half of the outfit, I think you would have one that still identifies as BAC on first viewing.....updated and modified and fresh.....and yet more tailored to the show theme and meeting the newer demands that are required from today's marching members.
