84BDsop Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Shakos!you can store more beer in them!!!!!! Even more if you were in the Guardsmen.....you could store a friggin' keg in those things!!! Yep....Regiment wore shakos in the early 70s.....but they didn't have the plume in the helmet until 1987....berfore then it was just the helmet...leading them to the nickname of the "Scrubbing Bubbles" ("e take 4th, so you don't have tooooooooooooooo.........") As far as no headgear at all...worked fairly well for 86 VK and the Renegades....I asked once why Govies don't have anything on top...I think it was Smoothy who said they couldn't decide on what type, so they decided on NO headgear!.

84BDsop Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I'm still waiting for a corps to come out entirely in pope hats (mitres)! I think it'll look a little something like: That would've been 1987 Sky Ryders.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLurch Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I always liked Americanos' hats (i think they were called gauchos sp?). Always thought those looked cool. I think Aussies look BA too, especially SCVs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilskydiver20 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 It definitely depends on the corps, but I absolutely LOVED wearing a helmet... It just seems to make it so much more B-A. Aussies, in my opinion, are kinda earned. I just will probably always think of SCV, Cavies and Scouts up top with those aussies... It all depends on the corps though. LER should stay with helmets (which are the old 'Coats helmets :)), along with 'Coats and Phantom. It's just a corps trad, ya know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supervet Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 As much as i like shakos, i like a twist, offset plums, or the odd stuff Southwind came out with, either way i like a look that fits the status quo yet is also different. Just please make it look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danieltenor Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I think shakos look more ###### but for the visual effect I like the aussie more, so, it depends on what you're trying to achieve. The cymball-feature that the drumline does in 2003 has a certain attitude that matches with the shako (ofcourse it must be all the way down to your nose) and the cavies visual aspects match with an aussie.

EKBari Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 That would've been 1987 Sky Ryders.... Speaking of Sky Ryders, what about the "Redneck Pimp" hats they wore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84BDsop Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Speaking of Sky Ryders, what about the "Redneck Pimp" hats they wore? Oh man....I've been watching my early 80s DVD....they looked more pimps like than Dream did for the last 2 years!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
