njthundrrd Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I marched from 1981 to 1984 and my uniform was from the early 60's. It took about 8 safety pins to hold me together.... and a lot of baby powder when we went down south. But those unis were the thickest wool ever made for a uniform, not like the fabrics in the band uniform industry now. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No amount of talcum powder or baby powder helped ease the suffering of those duds! The tunic tops were more breathable but the pants were polyester and weren’t much more breathable than the wool pants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Don't need a competitive season to announce a uniform choice. Again, I'm thinking loads of marketing for future years and maybe some regional concerts in 21.

At the 71 VFW Nats in the Dallas Cotton Bowl, it was 135 degrees at field level for prelims. Our unis were already damp, as the week before VFW's we had done a Dolphin/49'er preseason game 1/2-time in Miami, televised on NBC with no commercials I was told. It POURED on us, as can happen in Miami. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IllianaLancerContra Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Perhaps bring back color guard uniforms from 70's or 80's as well? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
