chaddyt Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 And if people don't believe it, take a look at history. What's the featured dancer wearing in this video? Does he look like a Cadet? I'm not sure anyone's calling for a wholesale death of the Cadet uniform. Merely pointing out that the traditional uniform is maybe a tad less flexible in terms of how show design is being reflected in other top corps nowadays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know -- I hear a lot of talk about abandoning it here (and in Allentown). And honestly was has BD done to their uniform to coordinate with their show? Yeah Bloo has gone all WGI and Crown does what they do. Coordination is great. But it can work just was well with a subtle touch as with bodysuits!

chaddyt Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Cadets halved the gap with Bloo. Intrigue continues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it can work just was well with a subtle touch as with bodysuits! BD has modified their uniform subtly since pretty much 2009 to reflect the theme of their show. It's not always entirely obvious, but there is a (... wait for it...) method to their madness. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaddyt Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Exactly. And I'm fine with subtle tweaks. But this idea that it HAS to be maroon AND gold AND west point style is just not gonna fly competitively moving forward, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
