It's the lesser costs of the uniforms that allows such frequent changes. Back when I marched, some of the Garfield unis were older than the kids who wore them...that would never fly today, 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedrick Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 does anyone know what happens to corps uniforms after they have been used for one season? Do corps just keep them in storage and plan for a reprise? Or do they just go to Goodwill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some mms and parents frame their one and dones, particularly if the corps placed well or if a special occasion was marked. The front office of The Academy has several of the framed unis over their years hung on the wall so that folks can see there history. Even Goodwill has its standards.

Battalion... for example. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when the Stardusters bought the Royal-Airs old Unis after they disbanded. That was a strange sight, I must say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

84BDsop Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Watchmen had BD's 2003 unis, I think....and of course, Nightfire in 96 used the 85 Freelancer shaka vests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
