Guardguy89 Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Actually, Les Chatelaines uniforms were one of the most effective ones I've ever seen. 1) with all the other "All girl" units in skirts - Les Chatelaines stood out 2) The "crown" they wore made everyone look like they were 7 feet tall - very intimidating 3) The colors really popped out on the field 4) They were just the collest thing out there in the early '80's. Man was I a HUUUUGGGGEEEEEE fan!!!! later, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a large horn line, but a small drumline, I think (?) one year all the drums were it the pit, no battery on the field. The white chairs set up in patterns on the field helped them look like a full size corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.mello Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Two more uniforms that almost made me throw up...1990s Glassmen with the big G on the chest...eeek Crossmen with the big X that covered the entire top..... so bad. I really like those uniforms. To me there's nothing better than seeing/wearing a uniform with the corps insignia thats loud and proud. The problem with the G-uniform, from what I saw in videos, was that it doesn't seem to streamline the members. When Xmen annouced that they were getting new unis in 2004, I was hoping they would go back to the late 90's style uniform but use an actual maltese cross rather than the triangles. Personally I wish they would use some lighter colors (or at least white pants). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Anybody see the 95 Carolina Crown? They were brand new with their "lighting bolts". A long way away form what they are now. Bleh!!! Oh, the uniforms weren't new, just the lightning bolts. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glory Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Put me down for not liking pretty much any of the silk shirt variants of the 70s (Devils, Cavies ... all of 'em). And I hate to say this about one of my favorite corps, but I think Phantom's guard is one of the worst costumed most years. The '92 opera show stands out as one of the cheesiest (and don't tell me it's okay because opera is cheesy). Anyone like the yellow version of VK? Not me.

Orpheus Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 I really like those uniforms. To me there's nothing better than seeing/wearing a uniform with the corps insignia thats loud and proud. The problem with the G-uniform, from what I saw in videos, was that it doesn't seem to streamline the members. I always thought they looked great in person. When Xmen annouced that they were getting new unis in 2004, I was hoping they would go back to the late 90's style uniform but use an actual maltese cross rather than the triangles. Personally I wish they would use some lighter colors (or at least white pants). I was hoping they'd go back to something similar to their uniforms from the early 90s. That was the best look they ever had, IMO. And yeah, I've thought all of the Crossmen's recent uniform designs (there've been three in the past eight or so years, yeah?) have been way too dark and dreary. Brighten it up a little!
