    I’m a huge fan of these! They’re a callback to the white & light-grey dominant uniforms from the 80’s. Super cool that they’re remembering their roots in that way!

    Looks good if they are allowed to use them, but that hat and strap sure looks like it would be awkward for any wind instrument.

    Sharp!! This old band geek knows it takes a great uniform with flash to match superior sound (and to compete effectively agains other marching bands). I can hardly wait to see them on the field! Go Aggies!
