crownisking Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I have no idea if this has been shared yet or not but this is a screenshot from Hop's live cast moments ago. Pay close attention to the garments hanging under the DM podium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if I can agree here entirely ( I do understand your point) with your police parallel to explain about uniforms versus costumes...it goes a bit deeper than just comments...the reason being is simply this... "The crisp uniform of the police officer conveys power and authority. When a police officer puts on his or her uniform the officer is perceived in a very different way by the public. He or she is viewed as embodying each person''s stereotypes about all police officers. Research has suggested that clothing has a powerful impact on how people are perceived, and this goes for the police officer as well. The uniform of a police officer has been found to have a profound psychological impact on those who view it. Research has also suggested that even slight alterations to the style of the uniform will change how citizens will perceive the officer." For the very reasons above ....that is WHY police would not change their uniform....Our activity has nothing to do with this supposition at all IMO...I do agree about CONTEXT in this regard though...

I'd be interested in hearing your perspective about this in just a little more detail if possible...thanks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1corpsfan Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 These costumes are only going to make our summer more interesting. I love the entertainment aspect of it all. We should see a lot more changes from the remaining corps soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brass34 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I showed friends the photo of Boston's uniforms, and they had NO idea which corps it was haha. But honestly, I think they look good. My only criticism is the orange-ish color, but it will probably not be as noticable from the stands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really my issue. An earlier post said "you can tell Crown, from, Boston, from Devs, etc. And sure, you can. But to me, I feel like a uniform should identify the organization on sight. Modifications for the show are ok, as is a major overhaul on occasion. My worry is when we get to the point that I won't recognize a corps on sight, because of how frequently the uniform changes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
