I think a lot of the corps are losing their traditional identities by having such drastically different uniforms this year.
I get that the activity changes and it's always evolving or going backwards depending on your view on the matter, but most corps don't even resemble the thing that makes them so proud to wear that uniform.
For example, I marched Crossmen in 2014 before then their uniform was generally black with a white cross and that to me was iconic. When they showed us the new uniforms I was a little bummed out that I couldn't wear one of those sharp black and white uniforms. Though they kept the cross on the chest which made in bareable for me.
Just my opinions
