I like the Trooper's new uniform as a uniform, and I love the way the guard uniform matches so well, but I can't even begin to express how much I dislike it as the Trooper's uniform, if that makes any sense. If i saw this on another corps or a HS marching band, my first though would be what a snazzy looking uniform they're wearing. But I think it delves away too much from the Troopers look that they've had for so many years. As an alum, it feels me with pride to see the corps resurgence, but the more and more I think about, it's coming at the sacrifice of a lot of tradition.
Just an (apparently) old fart's feelings.
