I'm a new poster - it might not take you vets long to figure out where my aligences lie.
There seems to be a lot of blowback about the new Crossmen uniform. The criticism of Xmen seems to center on a lack of "corps identity" because of the lack of red, even though the corps proper have the same silhouette, cross and Aussie as last season. It seems to be all about the colors.
Crown, on the other hand, has been changing colors each year for the past four years, and nobody is talking about "corps identity" with them. Same circumstances: uniforms have the same silhouette, shako, etc.
Educate me. What is the difference? Is it purely aesthetic?
I'm here to tell ya, the new Xmen uniforms look amazing from the stands, and they help convey the message of the show. Haters, please hold your judgment until you see the production. You'll understand.
Thanks!
