pressureguy Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 Someone posted a topic on yellow and other colored sparring gear. What does everyone here think of bright colored uniforms? Kwon sells a yellow gi. I found one at eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7114613533 Years back, they sold a green gi, but it was ultra-heavyweight (I like medium weight). I have also seen orange and purple ones for sale in magazines. Would anyone here wear these? pressureguy ]===[------------------------>http://www.backyardmartialarts.org]===[------------------------>
White_Tiger Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 Personally I wouldn't want them in my school, but to each his own. They would probably look ok, but if you have a rival school (like we do) they would probably make fun of you.
Shito Ryu Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 Yeah it would be like having(Unaturaly colored) yellow underwear, everyone would make fun of you. Lol jk, i woldn't but if you like Yellow then by all means get it. Friends may come and go, but enemies accumulate....
AngelaG Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 No! (yuck!) I like my dogi to be the traditional white, clean and ironed. I think all the multi-coloured gi look stupid.

47MartialMan Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 Yellow uniforms for yellow belts, ornange ones for orange belts...etc.... Colors to get you noticed-oh boy!
solar_kid Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 Blek I hate yellow! We use white, which I think is just fine. Black looks ok too. Everything else looks silly to me. On a practical note, I have always washed my obi by itself when I've gotten a new one. the dye often runs. When I washed my green belt, the wash water looked like liquid fabric softener. So, I wonder if you got yellow gis if they wouldn't have to washed completely separately from everything else, especially for the first few washings. ----Hmm. Hello. This is the floor. How did I get here?
47MartialMan Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 Sorry, call me a traditionalist, but I frown upon colorful uniforms. Thus, the uniform, in many colors, is as degrading as colored ranking. IMHO
ncole_91 Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 I like the white ones, and i would not be very happy if I had to wear a yellow one, but my dojo has nic red ones after you've been there fro a while.
47MartialMan Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 Red, blue, green, stars n stripes.....need that extra distinction
Goju 4 Life Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 At my school since we do tournaments demo gees are popular. The only rule is you have to be a blackbelt to where anything red. But I've seen al sorts of gees. Me I like my blue heavy weight If i had to choose between karate and everything else, I would choose karate so i could beat up whoever made me make the decision and have everything else
