SEC related because this



Looks an awful lot like this



So this should put an end to any claim of it being a "Nazi Uniform".

Not wrong forum. It's a violent beatdown of retarded LSU posters and t-sips.

Wasn't that more about the jackboots than anything else? This is honestly the first I'm hearing about the "Nazi Uniform" correlation.

I know it's an A&M troll but as far as the uniforms I know the current dress uniforms are based on the civil war era uniforms so adding an extra uniform based on WWII is pretty cool.

The Rant has become so intolerable with stupid arse posts like this. Yet my dumb arse still comes here.

This is why we can't have nice things.

I assume you meant "petty". The current Class A (formerly Dress Blue) is based on the Union Army uniforms during the Civil War. The West Point cadet uniforms are actually closer to the Confederate Army Uniforms.

You mean the World War II Cavalry Riding Boots?

You're not paying attention then. Plenty of Tiger Rant migrants have adopted the t-sip narrative that the A&M cadet uniforms are like Nazi Germany.

You sure care a lot about the opinions of LSU and UT fans. How very Aggie of you.

Not going to happen. It has been talked about for years and soldiers who were surveyed have wanted it. The problem has been the GOs who make the decision are against it.

An LSU fan from yesterday:

Of course as we all know, that's the majority opinion of the swamp trash corndog fans.

Was he referring to the A&M cadets or the coaches on the sideline?

Army version needs the belts and aTm needs to lose the boots.

Only prickish Cavalry officers wear those things. Might as well be carrying a swagger stick, too.

Other than that, I like them. Much better than wearing a dress blues jacket as an ASU top ... stupid.

But, I've been hearing of their return for 20 yrs, so I won't hold my breath because a demo made it to AUSA.

I do like the SMA, nice having one again that listens to and genuinely cares for Soldiers.

I really like the history, and overall the look of these uniforms.

Hope they do it.
