gsksun4 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 From the mean streets of Bayonne, NJ...the Bridgemen as of 1976 and onward! Hawthorne Muchachos and Cabs. Gee Mike D., one would have thought you would have put in a good word for your beloved Garfield Cadets. While not using the West Point gray tops, those Garfield uniforms to this day always remind me of West Point Cadets. There's even an old Fleetwood cover with the guard showing the captain with the chevrons on the sleeve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"West Point Uniforms": One of the mid 1960's incantations of the Madison Scouts saw them in "West Point" type uniforms. Also back in the 1950's the Boston/Hyde Park Crusaders had actual "West Point" uniforms that then Senator John F Kennedy procured for them. "Back in the Day" one of our cross town rivals, the St Raphaels Buccaneers had "Buccaneers/Pirates" type uniforms, and the Trumbull Troubadors wore "Gaucho" outfits.

baja Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 How about 1986, 87, and 88 Florida Wave with the Don Johnson uni's? "Freeze..... Miami Vice!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Baja ... I was wondering if anyone was going to post St. Raphael's ... the top pic is the uni they wore from 60-62 ... the lower pics are from 63-67 ... quite a unique uni for the early 60's when the majority of corps wore cadet jackets or satin blouses ... :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember both those uniforms and competed against those Jr. Bucs a few times. A formidable corps to say the least. When it came to dominant Jr. corps in Connecticut, Bridgeport PAL and St. Raphael's were always in the mix of the upper echelon corps. I also believe St. Raphael's have the unique distinction of having had one of the tallest marchers in the history of drum corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
