I'm sure there is some reason why they tend to be white; "The Japanese might take offence if you disrespect their national colour: White" or some such crap but lets not be silly, there is very little reason why the Gi's should be white. I do see how it would be best to keep one club to one color, sort of, it might keep the 'team colors' up or something but if you think about it Black is just a better color: Dirt doesn't show on it and it's just much cooler. That said I've only ever seen white Gi's and I'm a bit sad.

 

I HATE that any stains are INSTANTLY visable on a white GI and how that instantly equates to "You dont' care about your Karate you can't be bothered to wash and iron your Gi twice weekly" ... Black would just simplify it.

 

I suppose White might be used because it keeps you cooler but I feel the sweat stains put me off... So there.

 

To conclude my unorganised mumblings: Any color should be okay really.

I have only white. I do this out of respect for the ancient Okinawins who died wearing just these gi's.

We all own a white gi, Those of us who have joined the black belt club either have a red or blue one also, and we have black gis for kobudo, so it really depends on your club

At our school the rule is white doboks at test and we can wear black pants during class (we have real nice ones now with red/white/blue stripes running down outside of legs) with our white dobok tops (black belts have black trim) and in summer we can wear school t-shirts (with our logo on them). For the girls the black pants are a plus... :roll:
