DrinkinOuttaCups Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 And I don't really care about placements. So....go Troll on someone else's post. Why so serious? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rd Glasgow BB Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Seriously? If anything that uniform will cause them to go down a couple spots. Definitely NOT generally effective A good point well made. DCI history is full of incidents when ugly uniforms have placed corps a couple of spots lower than they would have been if they'd had nice pretty uniforms. The most famous incident would be the 1986 27th Lancers, everyone knows they would have made finals that year if not for the pink tops... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I accept that no matter what the uniforms look like, some people are not going to be happy. But to claim that it will drop Phantom's overall score a couple of places BECAUSE OF the 'ugly' uniform? I strongly doubt it. Total white 'melts' under stadium lights. The individual becomes a blob. The black accents of the new uniform enhances the visual, not detracts. What I think most people dislike is the theme sewn into the uniform - the crest and the contrast of white to black. The plume.....well, we will see this weekend.....won't we!

The plume.....well, we will see this weekend.....won't we! A couple of places can be determined by less than a tenth of a point these days, and given the degree to which visual/GE affect score.... As for the uni itself, I think it's brilliant right up to the black plume. From the stands the corps will look the height of their helmets, not their plumes.
