xbones7480 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I like the Colts uniform change. Not sure I like the shakos though; they look too large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowend Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 The Colts uni is the best use of the butt flap that I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re: the Colts shakos specifically, they kind of remind me of that old-fashioned striped candy my grandmother used to have at Christmas...

sagemode67 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I'm glad that they are back to the red again. The black and white didn't look good on them, they are after all the red team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, the view of the photo is from below looking up. For all we know for certain it might be another version of Crown's faux shako with a different feather plume. I much prefer the lively red to the gloomy grey. ...Guardsmen was the first thought when I saw those... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to think of a uniform design that they didn't influence... from the conquistador jackets to the tight, high waist cut top, to the long coats, etc. Groups often follow their lead. Which isn't a bad thing. They almost always look sharp and fresh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the last 7-8 years, even when I have objected to specific details of their uniforms, the uniforms as a whole have always looked good on the field.

MikeN Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Yeah, I think the hats are the en vogue Crown FJM ones. Those look taller from one side than the other. Doubly weird with Crown because with the short sleeves, seeing it from the tall side makes the members look shrunken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
