With thats said, I think Blue C. win the award for best new unis in the past few years. IMO The Cadet uniform was nice of course , and classic but like others movement and comfort is important. I do think some are better than others, I guess it's a matter of taste BUT I also think there were some pretty nasty uniforms of the past too. Out of respect no dishonorable mentions..lol Edited August 1, 2020 by GUARDLING 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the top can be made of something that breathes and still looks the same, why stay with wool? Also like uniforms that don’t need a HAZMAT warning after a few uses or being rained on...
