Uniforms

[tomegun]

I read a post about the new grey shirts and I also read about patent leather shoes and pleated pants. Some people do not like any of these and some people do. To each his own. I just wanted to make a few comments and hear what others think. This summer I heard a supervisor, who still works BIG TIME basketball, speak about uniforms and more specifically socks. He said that if someone wears "footies" that don't really show they are trying to look like the ball players. He also mentioned that out of 60 guys if you are the one that wears these socks you will stand out and not in a good way. I say this to say that I've always taken the approach that if you want to move up then do what those above you are doing. If you want to be different then do what they are doing better. Bucking the system often times makes you stand out in a negative way. I would only get patent leather shoes if higher level officials started wearing them. I was very happy to buy pleated pants. They are more comfortable and they are what the big guys are wearing. I would like to know what everyone else thinks.
