PRfan353 Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 For me it's a toss-up between Phantom Regiments move to khaki a few years back (not really a bad uni but it totally lost the PR identity) Not a bad uni?! They looked like they were going on a safari!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpheus Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Ever since Phantom went with the "French Tickler" look with the hemlet plumes, they're just not the same to me. I love the look of Phantom Regiment's helmets & plumes. They're the best looking headgear in the activity, bar none. They look stately and commanding and also help to increase the uniformity and perceived "height" of the marching members. The pith helmets sans plumes just look ridiculous and hopelessly dated to me. To me, the most disappointing uniform change was the new ones that the Cadets got last season. They just look like cheap knock-offs of themselves. I know they wanted uniforms that were easier to clean and simpler to put on and take off, but they didn't have to make them look quite so crummy, did they?

trptjock Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Personally, when Regiment changed their uniform from Black to Khaki (sp). Best of all time for me would be Regiments first use of the black baldric in 1989 and reintroduced it in 1993 (my age-out). So many memories. Another uniform blunder Regiment made was the early season uniform we had in 1992. It looked like something out of Star Wars. Imagine the entire corps in the mear exact uniform as the Drum Major in 1992 with the pseudo baldric/sash/ thing we had. Thank God Mike Cesario adjusted the uniform to be more of what it was in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerFred Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 You mean the easily shredded drapes that only worked for you if you had any shoulders to speak of 1992?....... Yeah I remember that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlhiatt Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 I'd have to say that Madison's new uniforms are pretty bad. Sorry but I just can't get used to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBrancheau Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Oakland Crusaders, 1980. I can say that, having worn it. :( <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What's wrong with skirts, white knee socks and "chinese shoes"??? It's a fashion look for the ages!

tonyrendleman Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Not a bad uni?! They looked like they were going on a safari!!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I kinda liked the Khakis. I got the safari vibe too, but wouldn't that have been a thowback to the 1975-86 PR uni? Pith helmet... British military style look... Exploring India or something.
