What up folks - no love for the PINK?

Ok, now dont everybody shake their head but my favorite corps uniform is 1989 Blue Devils

Cant explain it it just gets me everytime I see it, the BD all in black.....formidable as he**

I also loved Freelancers before (not including 1985 in this particular "best of", or the white pants era)

Avant Garde from 84 on...

Valley Fever of 83 , 84

San Jose Raiders

Suncoast sound with the yellow sashes, not the Gold

89 SkyRyders

Guardsmen

Les Chatelaines de Laval.....find a licture, post it, you'll love them, if you cant remember.

North Star, after the satin era

90 - 94 Crossmen

87 Phantom Regiment

83 Madison Scouts

85 Geneseo Knights

83 Glassmen, especially the helmet LOL

Imperial Guard

Sorry, Rob, the girls do nothing for me...but the uniforms sure do!

I loved all of the uniforms that came before who ever that guy is who owns that company who cookie cuters uniforms that makes them look esentialy the same. Blech!!!!

[RobH]

Mike - interestingly, you're probably talking about the Cesario uniforms of today!

I have the same problem!

Cesario came from my home town of Kenosha WI and built a uniform "dynasty" that I'll never fully understand to this day!

We gotta get away from this "vanilla" Drum Corps style - and the unis are a good point to start from!

Best Redo of a uniform - Phantom Regiment (Both white and black)

ODBC - something tells me that LancerFi KNOWS what I think, regardless of what I post at DCP!

And I discovered that we are of different political mindsets - but doesn't matter, cuz

I just love her! For all the right reasons - it's all about the old school drum corps mindset!

i voted phantom... i just love the white... but if they bring the black back, i swear i wont shed a tear.

if i could vote twice, i would vote Crossmen

Imperial Guard

WOW! I'm amazed anyone still remembers them! But if you'd taken a poll amongst the members, they would've told you they hated the uniforms. They were made of wool . . . just perfect for competing in a steaming hot southern tour! My friends told me about the buckets of sweat they poured--literally--out of their black riding boots. It wasn't pretty!
