Stars & Stripes Gi or dobok. Who's got one?


Recommended Posts

I'm just curious who has one. Maybe your school was in a 4th of July parade or you were a big fan of that look on Bill Wallace in the early 80's.

I don't own one, but I've honestly thought about it more than once. :D

Being left handed and left footed I appreciated Bill Wallace. I saw the gi but I never had the courage to buy or wear one. We were traditional in the 80s and such a gi, even in a parade, would not have been appreciated.

It is a great looking gi if you can wear it

I just thought I'd put in something here... Everyone except those who live in the USA laugh at stars and stripes clothing. Weather it be boots, undies or Gi's.

I'm not trying to insult anyone here, I mean in the states, I'm sure it's the done thing and therefore normal, and I guess being patriotic is a great thing... but to the rest of the world, it looks funny!

Good luck finding some!

I take no offense at your thought. We Americans do tend to go overboard with our love of the flag. That's a bit why I brought this thread up a few days before US Independance Day (July 4th). If your MA school is in a 4th of July parade, I wondered who would have a patriotic gi.

I'm not dead set against them, although some are a bit much.

Some are tasteful, like this one:

Others like this one remind me of Evil Kninevel:

It really is an American thing, isn't it? Other countries don't do this as much.

Gaudiness is inherent in the American blood line.

Yes, we love gaudy don't we? :D
