NeutralNovice Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 (edited) From what I've seen, there are two types of uniforms... Classic & Chic. Classic would be the uniform styles from the earlier - middle years of DCI. I personally think Cadets still use a classic style uniform. Chic (the best word I could think of) has more of a modern style to it, sleek lines, minimal intricate designs. For example, SCV, Blue Stars... Basically, do you like the uniform styles more from the present or past? I am not asking about the material used, quality build, or comfort. EDIT: I used the word "chic" because I didn't know what else to call it. I wouldn't call it modern as I don't think it would fit.

madscout96 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I voted for classic because although there are some "chic" uniforms that look good, there are way too many that IMO look too similar to each other. Blue Knights for instance, adopted their current unforms in 2000. When I saw them I thought they looked way too much like the Raiders. Why would they pracitically copy the Raiders? And why would they get rid of those dots that were SO unique? NOBODY had dots! Nobody still has dots! Maybe part of the problem is that so many uniforms are being designed by the same people...

Contreuph Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Both is totally cool with me. There shouldn't be just one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raphael18 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I went with both - each style fits different coprs. That, and I'm all about having some variety in the activity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would argue that "classic" style uniforms look more similar to each other than "chic" style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I like extremes, so dowdy and over-the-top avant-garde are my picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluteBoy Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Hey guys ... Chic = Fierce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeutralNovice Posted May 10, 2008 Author Share Posted May 10, 2008 Hey guys ...Chic = Fierce no it doesn't... unless you were being sarcastic and referring to the chic style as weak and feeble or non-hardcore... which I would also disagree with.

Lance Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I think Fluteboy was referring to Christian from Project Runway. He was all about chic, and he called his work "fierce." Actually, he called everything fierce. Anyhoo, isn't it possible to be chic and classic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fievel Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Anyhoo, isn't it possible to be chic and classic? No. Liberace is dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
