I was kinda ambivalent about our ‘92 uniforms (I liked the later season version better than the draped one we started with) but I loved our ‘94 uniforms. That basic scheme of white top and pants paired with a black baldric, gauntlets and gloves is still my favorite. But they’ve had a few years that’ve made me shake my head. I still liked the shows but the uniforms weren’t to my taste. (Not that it matters, LOL.) Edited June 22, 2019 by year1buick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I envy current members. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just uncomfortable all around especially during day parades or prelim shows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember after one prelims show, I was so overheated that I started stripping down right after we’d trooped the stands. It was in Dekalb. Holy hell, it was hot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we started with MAG carriers and then the Fiber Vests came out and we had the silly thought that they would be better. They were MUCH better on your back but man alive they would make you sweat like you were on a Greyhound bus headed to Cali. We drilled extra holes in them thinking they would get some extra air flow somehow (which it didn't) but it probably unknowingly reduced the weight somewhat. It's a trade off. I envy the MM's for their comfortable uni's now but I don't think I could have hung with all the stuff they do now drill and dance wise. These cats are freakin' amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
