Ribbon Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Looks as if they recycled some of the yellow from 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84BDsop Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 :blink:/> :blink:/> :blink:/> Ok; taken by itself this wins (or maybe loses?!) as least visually appealing of any drum corps uniform I've seen yet. Just...wow Fits the show, tho. Kinda reminds me of Dream's 04 guard unis, actually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Harrison Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I thought the Mandarins were getting new uniforms. Same ones from the last few years last night. Did I miss something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craiga Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) They look like cadets at West Point there... Funny you should say that.....along with portraying the gray despair which begins their show, these uniforms also serve as an homage to the uniforms that BAC wore in 1959, purchased from West Point with the help of Sen. John F Kennedy just prior to him becoming President. Good eye. :smile:/> Edited June 23, 2013 by craiga 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsubone Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I thought the Mandarins were getting new uniforms. Same ones from the last few years last night. Did I miss something? They are still being made and fitted. From what I've been told, they'll be ready in a few weeks. Probably by the time they start heading out to the Midwest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedandBlack Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 They look like cadets at West Point there... Ding ding, we have a winner! :) From Boston's website: "The grey jackets that the corps are wearing this season are inspired by the West Point Cadet uniforms that then Senator John F. Kennedy helped the corps acquire in 1959. As the Crusaders evolved from the Most Precious Blood Crusaders into the Hyde Park Crusaders and then into the Boston Crusaders, with those changes came uniform and management changes. Following two years of performing in red and black, in 1959, the newly christened Boston Crusaders found themselves without uniforms for the season. John F. Kennedy stepped in and helped the corps purchase West Point uniforms directly from the United States Military Academy for the rumored price of $1 each. The corps wore various versions of this uniform that season until the standard red and black was reintroduced in 1960." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
