xandandl Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) Less than a week until the next camp. I'm hearing whispers that Troopers are poised to make news soon. Maybe this weekend? The early signs are intriguing: Year 4 with the caption heads and a design team that has raised the bar each year; a new and expanded visual/guard staff; a bolstered battery staff; and a first-ever "sound designer" to oversee the mix. New uniforms coming, I hear. In other words, lots of investment in the experience for the members. It's almost as exciting as the season itself. Meaning replacement threads or a different new version? This may evoke the most comments. Edited December 7, 2015 by xandandl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2muchcoffeeman Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 My guess is that the uniform will be revised, not merely replaced. I can't remember a time, at least not since the VFW days, when Troop has obtained new uniforms that were exactly like those they replaced. And, knowing the current braintrust's unwillingness to let the program coast in neutral, I have to think a new look is in store for 2016.

And that's not my only complaint..." :-P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeN Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I liked the current uniforms well enough, but have no problem with them changing it. As long as they look "Trooper-ey" I'm ok. Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They better check with the Washington Redskins first and not to do too many camps at the University of North Dakota enroute to Minneapolis regional and Indy championships.

Just a rough draft, but the corps is trying to capitalize on hot trends. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
