Proposing a Summer Uniform?

[chiba_waves]

This came about between a discussion between Sanada-san, Koharu-kun and myself about how our school uniform rule is difficult to maintain in this heat, especially as our clothes are designed for Hokkaido winters. We wanted to try and create a summer uniform so we can stick to regulation and not suffer in this heat

Can we have 1 without the tacky sweater vest?

[loveandcomedy]

I'm sure it will be an optional choice for those who prefer it.

[chiba_waves]

Yeah, if other people also feel that we don't need the sweater vest, I can edit it up a bit more to come up with some other designs ^__^

[kisarazua]

Oh, if I knew we could request #1 without the tacky sweater vest, I would have voted for it! Although, #2 reminds me of home...

Huh. You're designing uniforms now Saeki-san? They're kinda cool, like my old tennis uniform actually. Hey do you have any more designs? Be nice to have something for tennis, too.

[ OOC: Errrrr, upon noticing where this is posted...is this supposed to be OOC post on XPuri, or a IC post on Saeki's journal? ]

[chiba_waves]

Just a little brainstorming of ideas for the summer uniforms, Yuuta-kun. Since most of us are fed up of wearing our usual uniform in this weather. And I might just add some more, though I don't have anymore. Any requests in features? Niou wants to get rid of 'the tacky sweater vest' so any other comments would be appreciated before I sketch up some more designs.

[OOC: It's an IC post in the comm so the people who haven't friended Saeki back yet can still vote ^^;]

[2xtwist]

Well they look like they'd be easy to move in like tennis uniforms so I've got no problem with either one, but yeah sweater would be too hot.

[ OOC: Oooh, that's a good idea. Yuuta's actually noticing the shorts bit (in canon virtually all schools have slacks with short-sleeved shirts for summer) but since this is Yuuta, the awareness isn't going beyond "Hey, I could totally play tennis in that." ;) ]

[chiba_waves]

Yeah, most summer uniforms end up looking like sports kits anyway, no matter how hard you try XD They probably won't be made of nearly so comfortable material though. Actually, you up for a tennis match soon?

[ooc: Yeah, pretty much, because all sport uniforms look pretty much the same with colour variation. Except Higa and Rokkaku. They were just different XD And yes, I think most boys would probably only notice that part as well XD)

[kisarazur]

Either one is going to look on with our body suit on underneath it. What's wrong with our current summer uniform? Short sleeved shirt, tie and slacks?

[chiba_waves]

The tie feels like I'm strangling myself when it gets sunny and I'm sure a lot of others agree. Besides, the blazer is killing me. It seemed from Sanada-san's post about uniform, a lot of people felt annoyed by it also, so I thought we'd change it so it's more agreeable for everybody.

And this isn't the final version. I just want to get a feel of what people like and what they don't like so I can make another final design to actually present to Ryuuzaki-sensei. Anything you want to add to(or take away from) it Ryou-kun?

[kisarazur]

Since when do we wear the blazer in summer? The tie, yeah, it does give him fits when people don't wear that, though!

Yeah, make the pants longer and dump the vest?

(ooc: I'm not sure about everyone else, but I always envisioned something like every other school in canon where the summer uniform is a short sleeved shirt and the pants and, in the case of Rikkai and Hyoutei, a tie. I don't know of any school outside of the Elementary ones that has shorts as part of their standard uniform, summer or winter.)

[2xtwist]

[ OOC: Ditto! I thought their summer version would be short sleeved shirt and slacks, since uniforms are supposed to be kind of formal-like. I think the only uniform shorts I've seen were from Sound of Music? Although Yuuta would never notice or care -- he'd play tennis in full uniform if he could. XD XD XD ]

[kura_no_gold]

If we could request a color that doesn't clash with gold, I would greatly appreciate it. ^_^

[chiba_waves]

....Considering how well our colour scheme suggestions were taken with the previous uniform, I had a feeling that even if we requested we wouldn't get it, but.... *shrugs* Can't hurt to try. Any particular colours in mind? Gold doesn't clash with much.
