Curious about how people think Bloo's uniform change and 2016 placement might influence DCI in the future.

Corps would have to have a "spartan race" type show. Since majority is over 50% I don't see that happening in my life time.

I wish I would've thought to put that as a question, actually.

Please, NO!!!;

Turn it around - if all the finalists were buying new uniforms next year, which ones do you think would stick with a traditional uniform?

Cadets - I'd guess maroon & gold, but not traditional style. SCV - maybe. Boston - maybe. Phantom - possibly.

On the other hand, BD, Crown, Cavaliers, and BK have already taken pretty big steps away from traditional uniforms and will likely go further if/when they think it helps their visual design.

Hey George, hoping to see the maroon and gold and a cadet style uni in 2017! It will be refreshing!

Crown should gift their 2016 unis to Troopers. That uniform with the traditional Troopers hat (in black) would look pretty cool. While they're at it, please give the Troopers back their western theme show designs.

These kind of unis will increase - like them or not.

Oregon has entered into a partnership with a company called Digital Performance Gear and it looks like there will be new specific show unis every year for them. But contrary to what many think, OC's unis are not really pure WGI as they utilize bibs & jackets, kind of a cross between a proper uni and a lighter weight WGI.

Crown and BK have been wearing these lighter weight unis for a few years now as well.

Things change!
