Description Based on recent backlash against the issue of "costuming" v. "Military uniforms" in competitive drum corps, here then is my hypothetical vision of what today's top "DCI World-Class" corps might look like if military style attire were popular or even, mandated by DCI...

I disagree. Crown's uniforms have been made to fit their shows over the past few years. I think that all of their uniforms have been very dignified, nay, sexy.

But this uniform is rather epic, if I must say. Well, all except the Bluecoats and Blue Devils uniforms. They aren't bad. I just like their current ones more.

Also, you aught to just send this design over to Crown. They've forgotten what dignified uniforms look like.

I like these a lot, only you didn't give the Bluecoat a plume! We're pretty proud of our helmets, and the feathery awesomeness atop them.

I absolutely love the Crown uniform. I've been waiting for them to return to the cream/purple color scheme, as for some reason I think it fits them very well.

Also, the Bluecoats uni makes me think of old-style British police. Don't know if you were going for that, but that's what I see every time I look at it.

I miss the purple too - not many in World Class use it - Open corps are starting to though...

Yes - old-school police "Keystone Cop" style was the intent behind the 'Coats here...

Thanks for the comments and questions!

These are great. I think the Crown and Vanguard alternates are your best out of these. The Cavaliers alternate is sweet, I just don't think it's green enough.

Vanguard, to me, will always retain a very militaristic edge. Then again, they don't change uniforms all that often.

For some reason, the Crown one is really striking to me. That corps seems to have always blended in well with a military guise despite their VERY odd/unconventional color choices. Your rendition is brilliant! I'd love to see them return to the cream and purple again.

Thanks - SCV *must* always have the green hat and white plumage with diagonal stripe on the front of the jacket... all else is subject to change, right?

Thanks for the kind words...
