CloudHype Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 In regards to the helmets. The Bluecoats and Phantom Regiment have a different style of helmet than what the Blue Stars used to wear. The Blue Stars helmet was very unique and original; moreover, the "original" helmets were great. An atom bomb could be dropped on them and they would remain intact. However, the reproductions were of poor quality and a pain in the jaxie to fit. I like the Blue Stars with the shakos. I was also a fan of the grey; but I agree with a lot of other folks, in that it's time for a change with a return to some blue in the uniform. Speaking as a member (back when Brad wrote the drill).... those helmets would not stay on your head with mid 90's DIV II/III visual demand. Now add today demands and it's very easy to see why a change had to be made. I also find it sad that some are clinging to helmets, buckles and bucs as a way to identify our corps. The corps was never about the uniform to me but it is about the relations and life lessons I carry 15 years later. But... can we have a little more blue . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a person who wore both helmets and shakos... I liked the helmets more from a unique-tradition standpoint (and foolishly, selfishly complained when we switched... I feel badly about that), but the shakos CERTAINLY are easier to make look good. And, yes, I would like some more blue. But MOSTLY... I just want the team to do well, put on a great show, and have a great experience. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
