I’m excited to see what they do with this. This seemingly has lots of potential for a " me like ". The theme seems to indicate a uniform change from last season, and I sure like that a lot, if that happens. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrothgar15 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 According to Reddit, Madison will not be returning to a traditional uniform for 2018, despite a less theme-centered show design. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they at least bring back the featherless aussies. Those were sorely missed last year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake W. Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Meh. Along with Crossmen, an initially underwhelming announcement, although I'm sure I'll fall in love with both shows upon viewing --- I just mean that it doesn't sound particularly striking on paper. I think what was so effective about last year's design was that, love it or hate it, and there were plenty on both sides, the show was heavily-discussed and will stick out in memories for a number of years; a feat that is rarely accomplished by the bottom few Finalists. This announcement initially reads like musical Chip & Joanna Gaines shiplap: trends that toe the line of overuse while capitalizing on current design aesthetics. Nothing wrong with using trending music, of course, although it does seem to smack of a lack of ingenuity; a thought that can easily be pushed out of one's mind if it all comes together into a unique & well-designed package. And there's still innumerable uses on the field for the music of Mackey, Snarky Puppy, Elfman's Serenada Schizophrana, Golijov, & Reich...but the combination of it all does seem to indicate a calculated desire to capture what's musically in vogue right now, which seems to be a departure from last season's stark originality. The Sting twist does help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any uniform will be closer to traditional than last year’s, but in 2016 a big critique was Madison was afraid of change. Last year’s changes proved Madison could change, and while I heard many Madison alums who were critical, I did not hear any complain when they made finals. I am looking forward to this year’s show, but I hope it has a Madison sound, feel, and look. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
