CrunchyTenor Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Please don't make me diagram my response. Show your math. As far as BD's satin tops, I remember seeing them in 1971. So there! Garry in Vegas PS Not a fan of the current uniform. Too busy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSU GRAD 82 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I would like this discussion to be about BD getting rid of the tails to their uniform and going back to an older style or even a new design. I think they've gone with the tails long enough and its time to get rid of it. I like the tails and the overall look of the uniform this year, but I wouldn't mind seeing them back in the traditional BD uniform of the 80's. (And most copied ever) I was Quartermaster back in my LSU Band days and even designed a Gold version of the Blue Devils uniform that Tiger Band started wearing in 83. (One year after I graduated) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerriTroop Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I liked the tail a lot in 2009 and 2010. I felt the uniform got too visually busy this year, so I say scale the graphics on the jacket back and let the tail stay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Boo Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 (edited) Show your math. ... Edit: A negative 3? Is there no sense of whimsy? Should I have added a few smileys? Or is math just that divisive? Edited September 2, 2011 by Michael Boo 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Ream Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I think they need a completely new design. Honestly, I think the skewed A-frame jacket design (now 17 years old, BTW) has been played out. I'd love to see them create a new perspective on dressy "night"/formal wear - I think that's really the image that the old open coats projected. And based on the short-lived 2004-2005 design (with the suit lapel and pinstripes), I think that's what they were aiming for as well. Mike the tails need to go. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Why was that given two red negatives? Are people devoid of a sense of satire and sarcasm? I'm betting those that gave me the negative ratings have the same opinion as I do. Of course I know they've been in the top three for like, half of forever. I was making that point that the uniform is obviously NOT holding the corps back. Now, please...a couple of you go to that post and give me a positive green before my fragile self-esteem implodes. i dont even count greens or reds til my reds get into the negatives where they belong 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traveller30 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 The tails hide some of the dirtiness whether you guys want to choose to believe it or not (what little dirt there is). I am not a fan of them. Yes I can see the little bit of dirt, but the skirt isn't hiding it. How about that double stripe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
