BRASSO Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 (edited) We have no idea what attire Corps will wear for 2019, nor the colors, as Corps are more and more selecting attires and colors that are theme specific now. Since none of us here know what these Corps themes will be at the moment for 2019, none of us are in a position to know what most of these Corps attire, headgear, nor predominant colors will be for 2019. That said, I'll go out on a limb and state that I don't envision the Madison Scouts will return for 2019 with the predominant color of pink as their attire choice color for 2019. But... who knows.

I've always been wary of employing designers whose first requirement is a change to what the unit is wearing. Are you here for the mms and tradition of the corps or your pet idea.? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you don't need me to play devil's advocate, but there are corps out there *looking* to break with tradition and create something new, too.

Mike and some corps whose history is not really extended so that custom and tradition are odd or brand new words for their lexicon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeN Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Do I detect subtle shade in there? If we're talking about my corps, then yes, we definitely push the boundaries, and our kids have a good time doing so. Anyways, back to World Class uniforms - what we're seeing over and over is not designers imposing some immovable will on corps, but the organizations doing some soul searching and determining that the uniform isn't what makes the traditions of the corps. Heck, Cavaliers even spelled out the process for us in 2016, right before their preseason performance with The Cadets. And overall, it's resonating with the MM's. Despite all of us being aghast at the first photo from Spirit in 2017, it turns out the uniforms looked great on the field, gave Spirit a very unique visual identity ... and the kids loved them.

That is definitely a one-and-done. And i believe the Bluecoats offered each member the option to buy their uniforms. Bluecoats also selling uniforms from 2013 -2015, so no hope of those blue coats coming back. Edited August 15, 2018 by Jast45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fran Haring Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I am going to channel my inner Jeff Ream here and predict: In 2019, corps will wear what they wear. Carry on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
