Lance Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 That is just awful. So sorry Academy. Too much going on. So many studs, striped tie?, silver thing at the bottom, tails? Ugh.....And it is NOT going to look better with a shako. Madison's jacket and tie look worked with aussies...but a shako will look like one more mix and match thing. I really wish they would go to an "Academy Cadet" type look. Those look like unis from Battlestar Galactica. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearwy Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I hope that is just some sort of brass ensemble. There are only about 30-32 horns in that picture. Table for 6? Just one moment. Casino valet maybe? I don't get it. Ew. Just ew. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumManTx Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Spartans + Madison ties = Academy 2011? Very classy but yet fun looking. It's awesome. I will say though, NOTHING like I was expecting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaddyt Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Depends on how you use it....if you haven't seen it, check out Sky Ryders 1987. Half the horns were all white, the other half all black, percussion grey....the visuals worked a great deal of the time....and they were a smaller corps than what's allowed today. If you missed the live broadcast, you can watch it again here. While it's not in full uniform, they are utilizing the separate colors.

DCIfan90 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 It's not surprising Academy's uniform is all black. It's much easier to hide dirty feet that way. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickT Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Those look like unis from Battlestar Galactica. That's because they are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrinkinOuttaCups Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 It may take a little getting used to, but I really like it (although I could do with a little color added in. Maybe in the tie?)! Definitely not a "cookie-cutter" uni! I can't tell, are those tails on the jacket or is it a full cut? I'd like to see the DM and guard unis as well. Too bad I won't be seeing them live this year. Meh. Not a fan. It's too "busy." ...It's also ugly. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerriTroop Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Some new pictures on the Casper Star Tribune gallery page: Troopers DM, same classic look for Josh Jensen! Closer look at front detail for the hornline Side view of hornline with sashes (bad lighting, so the color is a bit lost) Purdy drums! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOVE the dm uniform and the drums look fantastic. i don't understand much about the corps proper uniform. won't stop me from cheering for the troopers one bit, though. :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Measton Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I don't believe there were any major issues going into this year with the Cavaliers' uni's, but I still feel as if I should post this for everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
