MikeN Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I hope they don't change them much. I think the current ones are not only the best in DCA, but maybe one of the most iconic in all of marching. Seriously. Mike (Uniform nut.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sayre Kulp Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 As long as they don't get hats. What he said. I don't know if they're the most iconic in all of drum corps. I'd wager my money on Cabs for that. However, I will say that they are unequivocally "Statesmen style". I doubt they'll change THAT much.

Jeff Ream Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 yeah I hope while the unis are new, the "look" remains the same. thats the one thing I love about DCA...you pretty much know who is coming on the field by the uniform. much as the Cadets get grief, the uniform has mostly stayed the same ( just those weird back years) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvscorps Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) Looking forward to seeing them! I agree that the Statesmen have an iconic look that suits their style. As much as these announcements are exciting and positive, particularly in the doldrums of the fall, I would loved to have been surprised by this -- being in the stands, not knowing and then seeing the corps with a new uniform come onto the field. I remember how dramatic it was in 2005 in Wildwood when the garage door to the convention center went up and we got the first glimpse of the Bucs' new uniform. If I recall correctly, they kept it a secret and that moment was pretty cool. There was an instant buzz in the place about it. Regardless, I'm sure the look will be great for ES and I can't wait to see them. I hope it's a variation on the current style, because it does suit them so well.

TenorsForWorldDomination Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) meh Because its not Renegades it doesn't matter right? This is great news, I can't wait to see the new uniforms. Knowing the cats I know, they will stick to the roots but have something flashy and classy.
