    Your signature color?

    Just for funnsies, let's see what color(s) you'd choose for your fencing uniform, if you could pick anything and all the other fencers were doing the same. Assume white white white is not the standard.

    Even with that opening, I might still be drawn to a white-and-blue combo of some sort. Or black and blue (to hide bruises).

    Dark crimson. With some sort of sparkly bits on, like little jewels or sequins...

    You know, I nearly went for hot pink myself as it's my favourite colour. But I think I'd have to be a better fencer to dare wear it (I'm not very good yet). If I get good I'll have hot pink, bejewelled in other bright colours.

    Or maybe candy pink with a flower pattern in pastel colours...

    For me, dark blue or black. It hides my form, and keeps people from checking out my hot bod.

    It's my hot body. I do what I want!

    I like the white, personally. And dispite what I said in the other thread, I prefer the silver lames.

    That being said, yellow. Bright, taxi cab, smiley face yellow; just on the socks, however.

    Katman- actually knew a fencer with bright yellow smiley face socks. They were great, her bandana matched too!

    These are the flowers I wanted to add, but thought them a tad too flashy for the Power-Woman image I project. So I'll choose to sew an equipment bag from the fabric instead!

    Dark lime green sleeves (don't start singing!) and trousers, with a black torso, socks, and mask bib.

    Silver and Black. The same as my Utilikilt. Not that I would wear that while fencing. A lunge would be most a revealing affair.

    After all the talk about it now, I reallllllly want one of those ugly multi-colored lame`s from blade.
    I just think it would be alot of fun to fence in. Probably with silver knickers.
    The bib for my mask would have to match the lame`, and the mesh would be a big black and white peace sign. I think the glove would be silver too..

    How about a rainbow lame with one of those bright red or green masks, with red or purple knickers, tie-dye socks, and solid gold shoes (to represent the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow)?

    Despite my sometimes loud support of the right to have colored kit or ones choise, I think mine would be fairly modest. Maybe a PBT light blue mask with a PBT blue ice lame and matching glove/socks. Of course I can have that now...

    Okay how about Black pants/socks/shoes with a navy blue "bloodstripe" and a navy or dark blue jacket/mask/glove with black or silver trim/piping for my epee outfit. Of course the mask would need a demon face painted on it...

    Knowing my club and its preferences, I'd probably end up with some variation on the club colors--black, red, and yellow.

    I would adore being able to wear a fencing uniform that didn't emphasize the size of my rear end. I loathe white for any sort of trousers, period.

    Some combination of purple and white - I haven't really thought about it.
