CorpsPhan Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I am probably gonna get flamed for this, but I HATE THE DOTS. Not by me, you're entitled..... I liked the dots because it made BK stand out from the rest of the cadet-style uniformed corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecoats88 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Why would a corps remove a black sleeve and add a white sleeve? Can you say Phantom Regiment? (Check the photo archives) I didn't mean in design, I meant buying a white jacket that had a black sleeve, then removing the black sleeve on the jcaket and replacing it with a white sleeve. Seems it would have been easier to buy or make an all white jacket. Especially since the white material for the new sleeve would undoubtedly not match the jacket due to fading/discoloration of the original jacket over time/use. So this is why I dispute the claim that the 1999 magic uniform tops are an altered 1996 Glassmen jacket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrlandoContraAlum Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Blue Knights ditching the "dots". I actually liked the blue pants. The 92 uni was a great take on that style. I am probably gonna get flamed for this, but I HATE THE DOTS. Blue Knights, bring back the dots! NO DOTS!!! Heh... (VERY MUCH NSFW!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NakedEye Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I can't see how you think that is the same uni. Magic is wearing black pants and an open front white jacket with a vest and shirt underneath. It looks nothing like the glassmen unis from 94-96. It not only looked like it, it WAS the Glassmen 94-96 uniform. They were either donated to, or purchased by Magic that year (can't remember which). The sewing ladies took off the black satin sleeve and put the original creme colored ones back on. The "open front jacket" was just a purple fake vest bottom thing with attached purple fabric drape around the neck. An off the shelf design from Cesario that was velcroed to the front. I sat there and stuck fake buttons on the front of those things for hours. A white collar and tie around the neck stuck on at the top. Almost everything about the uniform was a hand-me-down. The black shakos that year were from the Crossmen, circa 95-96. The much maligned purple brocade jackets from 94-98 had completely fallen apart, and the nearly bankrupt corps was lucky to get anything to wear at all.

See my other post for the final nail in the coffin of Sleevegate. Why go through the trouble of removing the sleeves? Well, when you have zero money, a pile of creme sleeves in a box and are desperately trying to maintain some sense of the 'tuxedo' identity the corps is known for, you make mothers do a lot of sewing..lol Not sure whatever happened to those. After the first folding, they came back with that 'bando' look. I think that was a way to attempt to visually distance the corps from the financial problems of "old Magic," associated with the tux outfits. Too bad, though. The old jackets were a mess in many ways, but they were totally unlike anyone else's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlamMan Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Most DCI corps have experimented with uniform changes over the years. Some changes have been great, some not so great. I'd like to hear opinions from those who have been lucky enough to see all or most of the changes. I missed much of this being overseas with the military during the 80's and 90's but have been viewing Legacy DVDs lately to see what I missed. I'm NOT slamming any corps here but I have to say some corps did make bad decisions here and there. Most seemed to recover with better uni's after the mistakes. I'll start: 1993 Vanguard (I love SCV but the white just didn't seem like Vanguard) - They have thanfully changed to a more traditional SCV look. 1988 Spirit of Atlanta - just OMG! I'm so glad that look didn't stay around long. (Also one of my all time favorites) 2006 Scouts (My favorite corps every year but personally didn't like the white uniforms with the beads) This thread is meant to be in fun - so have at it! 2007 Madison. From Superman suits to Jump suits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
