We are proud to wear white.

[ITALIAN GIRL]

and what we'll do next....a fake nose and a yellow curly wig?
Is so American to think that a bunch of colors can be add to a beautiful white uniform just for fun.....we are not clones or clowns ...we are elegant athletes......

You are welcome to wear white if you wish.
And I will wear colors and designs if I wish.
And that is why Baskin Robbins has 31 flavors of ice cream.

WELL...we are not cones.......and we are not cover girls or fashion models ...........
I suggest instead to fill every white color in the world with red...or yellow..or blue......white is so boring don't you think.....we can change also the american flag.....white is sooooo unfashion!!!!!!!!!!!

Then can you explain Trillini's blue pants, and 2-tone jacket at worlds? Or how about Cuomo's green and red uniform that a couple other Italians wear?

Maybe VALENTINO gave them a lot of money for his new fashion style!!!!! <img src="graemlins/blah.gif" border="0" alt="[Blah]" />

Uh, Doug, is she over 18? I mean, she does look sorta young doncha think? Other than that, nice pix, although she does seem to blend into the background.

Instead of urban camo its now piste camo... Strike your opponent without them ever seeing you.

wtf she's mine

[ITALIAN GIRL]

I think I'll change my topic in:
How cute is that girl and how old are she?
Maybe it will turn in a better discussion

opsssss pardon


how old is she!!!!!!!!!!

[Moonitic]

lol...I can assure you all that Doug's girlfriend is of age, & that she'll absolutely LOVE your comments!

As far as this thread goes..."grow up" seems to be the best statement to sum up the topic.

For further reference: I prefer the traditional white. And I'm Russian/English. <img src="graemlins/blah.gif" border="0" alt="[Blah]" />

For my own preference I like the white, I think it looks proffesional and its part of our identity as fencers. That aside I have to make do with 'strawberry cheesecake' since my girlfriend washed my kit mixed in with a red throw.

cool!!!

Coming next:

Tie-dyed judo gi's

Fishnet sumo "diapers" ( whatever those things are called )

Dayglo spandex cricket outfits ( with aerodynamic helmets )

There is a reason they are called fencing uniforms, after all. Pretty hard to be uniform if you're multiform, eh?

Colors in fencing are a great idea if executed correctly. Every person making there own designs is not a great idea. It is a uniform, I agree, that's why I like national colors and designs, and on a smaller scale, club designs. And just to be different avoiding 3 stripes in the design would be nice.
