sagemode67 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 As a Surf member for this coming year I don't know how much I'm allowed to say at this point but there will be a change in the Surf uniform for this year. Assuming the reveal wont be until you guys come out of the gates at the First show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeWhoWaits Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Kinda like it, although the proof will be when it's in real life. I DO question the wisdom of a dark uni for a corps from the Deep South that's mostly going to go on in daylight, tho...not gonna be comfortable unless you're the DM. They could be going the opposite route - march in white, conduct in black. Not like that hasn't been done before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumManTx Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I really liked Surfs Open Class unis pre 2009. The 2010 - 2011, 2014 ones are almost too serious for their vibe and the only "fun" ones I liked were the 2012 ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejerseyguy Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Assuming the reveal wont be until you guys come out of the gates at the First show? I'll probably say something when the show's announced. Don't know if the corps will want to announce it before the first show though. As of now they have a base but they're still figuring out if they want to add on to that. It's not anything crazy like we've done in the last couple of years.

The corps said the black unis are for marchers and white is the DMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroopAlum12 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 The Troopers have announced some details about their uniform. If the show is new territory for a corps that will mark its 59th year in 2016, so is the look. The Troopers will bring out a new uniform, featuring a cream-colored jacket evoking a 19th-Century figure, topped by a white Stetson..."We wanted it to feel human, accessible. We were looking for the human quality of it, with clear nods to history, " Raiford said. Besides, he said, "Good guys wear white hats." There was also a picture of the concept sketch on the Facebook page, but it has since been removed. Its very different from the Troopers uniform you've come to expect. Think Teddy Roosevelt meets Madison Scouts. Hopefully the corps will feel like sharing it again soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How different is this from the CG commander uniform which the Troopers wore for many seasons, as recently as the Flag Pre done a few seasons back??

You'll just have to see when the pictures become public again, I suppose haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Reads like the historical "military look" will not be in this year for the Troop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjeffeory Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) Star was an outlier....try again with a corps that didn't have their size, instructional staff, and finances. Suncoast Sound? Spirit of Atlanta? Blue Devils? Crown? Edited March 20, 2016 by jjeffeory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
