I think it could easily be the best looking thing on the field this summer. I'm definitely not ok with this trend toward ditching uniforms because it is tied so closely with the identity of each corps, but that costume is a home run. They look like raiders from Fallout or even the Great Khans or Blackfoot tribe from Fallout New Vegas...or a mix of all 3. I thought New Vegas immediately. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac13 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) I didn't think I would say this based on what everyone has said about them. At first glance on my phone, I thought oh Lord you have to be joking. I rushed home, got on my desktop to see them full screen and... I love them...I think they're absolutely beautiful and this is coming from a traditionalist who adored their old look. Do I understand why people are upset? Absolutely, because normally that is me as well. Do I like it better than their traditional uniform? Absolutely not, I already miss them. BUT, this is the most attention to detail I have ever seen in the entire marching arts activity...ever. Even if you hate them, you have to admit you've never seen anything so meticulous on the field before. As I was always taught growing up, "If you're going to make a huge change in something, you better do it right". I applaud all involved with creating this uniform/costume.

Whiskey Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Go all in is what I say. No semi-quasi spandex looking uniform. If we're going to go the route of theater on the field, make it look professional. This comes pretty darn close to real costuming. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the leather from the Great Khans and the American Indian aspects of the Tribals from the expansion (can't remember the name), as well.

GREENBLUE Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) With a uniform (costume) like this your show design better be pretty bad a##. Really like this. But let's see how the show meets the look. Edited June 25, 2017 by GREENBLUE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac13 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 I'd also like to add as a sincere compliment that is probably the scariest uniform/costume I have ever seen. If I looked out my window at night and saw a couple guys outside wearing those...I'd #### my pants and hide. Which makes me think of another point...how will small children react to these? I know young children who are afraid of Ronald McDonald or frankly anything at all with facepaint. Imagine you're 3 or 4 years old and you see 160 people like this coming your way. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
