Coolest Uniforms

[ilovestrategy]

Who do you guys think had the coolest uniforms? Personally I like the Roman Tribunes. Damn they looked good. Late 1800's British officer dress uniforms looked really cool too.

nazi SS. Also there is nothing quite like a Nazi offier with his kepi holding a luger and yelling "achtung! Amerikans!"

I also like the French soldiers of the early to middle 1700s. They had a spiffy tricorne hat with plumes, and swords were still quite in fashion at the time. You can't but admit that the musketeers had cool uniforms!

and then there's the vatican swiss guard...[:D]

As I quoted in an earlier thread....the Nazis were dressed by Hugo Boss..........now that's style.

I've always thought that the Louisianna Tigers looked pretty spiffy.

I have always had a soft spot for the Polish Winged Hussars. The Germans certainly knew how to look spiffy in WW2 and I also like the US marines dress uniform.

As far as I know, he didn't design them, he only produced those uniforms.

I like the German WW I uniforms.

German SS & Luftwaffe (I always thought that light blue looked cool........thats why I always liked the HErman Goering Dv.........a badass PZ div in light blue unis!!!!

I guess you culd say I'm a little prejudiced but I always thought Marine dress blues were sharp and JEB Stuart was dressed to the nines!!!! [&o] [;)]

Vancouver Canucks old Rink and Stick "C" Logo emblazened jersey (the original franchise panic job) and Minnesota North Stars.

If you count sports unis, again from a prejudiced view, but LSU & Texas football unis (UT's helment w/burnt orange Longhorn is exceptionally cool) are sharp!!!!

#1. Any of the US Marine specific uniforms.

#2. WWII Nazi SS black uniforms (if it's true that Boss designed those threads, then it certainly shows)

#3. The new US "Predator" camo uniforms.

Napoleon's Empress Dragoons of the Guard.[;)]

Or any of Napoleon's Marshal's.

They also get my vote. I had some friends who reconstituted the unit for the NSSA (North-South Skirmish Association - a target competition organization, not re-enactors). The second national matches they attended were in a heavy downpour, and their red shirts faded onto the white and blue trousers, turning them pink and purple. From then on, we called them "the Pink Puddycats".


edit... the forum made me change the name slightly...

This is probably my favorite uniform. Not sure what country (or that it matters):
