Inspired by SS's banning, what is the colour of the uniform of your work/school place? We all have had to wear school uniform or work uniform at some point in our lives, and what is yours?
Also, we could discuss possible improvements in the uniform, or better uniform entirely.
Or we could discuss the Cuban Revolution.
All of this is your choice, my humble reader, and I leave it up to you what path you may take.
Inspired by SS's banning, NO!
Anyways. My school doesn't have uniforms, and my work we have to wear green work collared shirt things and tan pants. Yes.
The cuban revolution was pretty wacky imo.
We had to wear uniforms during my senior year. White shirt and khaki pants. At work, we're just supposed to dress professionally. I usually wear a longsleeve oxford, khaki pants, and a tie. :o
I often try to go to school NEKKID, but they always send me home to get dressed :(
They Cubans had a whole war over my NEKKID body though. Not literally, of course. Well, some of them....ahem...anyhoo! *walks away*
My school uniform is really unsmart and i think its ugly, but warm!!!:D
I want to wear blazer and ties but instead we have to wear a navy blue jumper and black trousers!!Its boring and not as warm as blazer and ties, except they would be hotter in summer!
The EOFF uniform has a BOB logo.
Primarily Grey, with a red & white trim. :monster:
At work I have to wear a dark navy shirt, it's better than most things they have to offer. Atleast it isn't white, or the stains would be impossible to get out. I cook by the way, so it would get a bit messy. I've never had to wear a school uniform though, I'm pretty sure my school will have one someday since they've always been nazis about dress code.
Although the Cuban Revolution was politically successful in overthrowing the Batista government, over the years the world has witnessed its social and to a greater extent, its economic failures. Despite socialist reforms that provide universal health care and education to everyone, it has also come with a price. Freedom of speech is very limited since the revolution is seen as a a good thing. Those who criticize the revolution can be thrown in jail or worse. This wouldn't be a big problem if rhetoric of the revolution didn't inhabit all facets of society, but since the opposite is true, freedom of speech is extremely limited.
The economic failures of the revolution are really the factors that have stained the legitimacy of socialism as a viable system of state. Cuba has always been dependent on foreign trade and although this can be said of any country, this is particularly the case with Cuba. Cuba's main export is sugar. While raw material is beneficial for any growing economy, production is a necessity. Cuba doesn't really produce anything for the outside world. Heavy-industry is non-existent, and light textile work is for internal consumption only. Early on because of the U.S. embargo, Cuba was forced to economically (and militarily) ally itself with the Soviet Union. In a sense it became an economic satellite to the super power. There was more or less stability in Cuba up until the collapse of the Soviet block and consequently the Russian state in 1991. While Russia and its former satellites were dealing with a political and economic backlash of their own, Cuba entered a rationing period it is still in today, albeit not to the same degree as it was in the early 1990's. In this sense, the socialism Cuba established during the revolution is seen to have been successful in theory -- influencing similar movements in Latin America and South Africa -- but a failure in the practical sense.
I don't wear a uniform to school or work.
I never had to wear a uniform for school, and the dress code is not at all strictly enforced as seen by all the gross girls who wear tiny skirts and huge boots and shirts that don't cover them up. Which is gross as is, but they're pretty flabby. Though I shouldn't even comment on people being flabby. xD
my uniform is boring and grey and the teachers shave our heads in a rather distrurbing manner....they teach us at school to hate anything that isnt cruel and sadistic....in fact my school uniform looks strangely simaler to this:

I go to sixthform, so like, we have to wear black trousers and a 'suitable' top, the boys, however, have to wear a shirt and tie :p
Navy blue jumper with a gold emblem, white t-shirts and grey trousers/skirt. Thank God I'm in Sixth Form; I get to wear my own clothes. :D
I have no uniform at my school and even if you did wear really short skirts or something like that to school most people don't get caught.
A work at a hospital so currently my student uniform is some horrible grey and white tunic with my uni logo with equally horrible trousers that as so big I have to wear the waist band up near my breasts!
Once I quailfy I get a nice blue dress to wear to work. Much prettier and powerful.
We don't have uniforms at school or the university, or any other places. However, we do have student overalls in different universities, and they're usually something the students wear in less formal student events and parties, such as sauna nights, First-of-May activities and other things like that. Different training programs have different colors for their overalls, so you can distinguish people who are studying different things. I'm in technical and natural sciences, so I have purple overalls, but some other people, such as those studying machine engineering, have red overalls.
My school doesn't have uniforms, which I'm very grateful for. I have to wear this green T-shirt when I'm working at my job... it isn't bad at all, though.
Our school makes us pose in short skirts while they take pictures. :(
My school is nothing compared to this colledge. i bet I could wear a dress for a day for I am scary to all professers i even scare my freinds somtimes but, i think I could escape with it for I am wierd and the power of wierd is stronger than fear for fear is weird.
Sombrero, ledehosen, swim goggles...Hmm, the uniform is missing something. Perhaps I shall acquire a Hello Kitty codpiece.
We used to have khaki pants and polo shirts, but it wasnt manditory.
I don't need to wear a uniform at school, never have, but I remember when I went on the French exchange I was horrified by their uniforms.
The uniform at my school is so expensive yet so cheap. It breaks so easily. But our school uniforms are the color green, white, and there's blue on a tie that we have to wear Monday mornings.
my high school uniform was a mess, navy blazer, grey trousers, black shoes and tie white shirt. we looked like muppets.
My work uniform is bright orange, blue and navy blue. You guessed it it's a sainsbury's uniform, our T-shirts (cut like football shirts but I don't like either football or my work shirt) are bright blue. Our Fleeces come in two styles and two colours, a bright orange zipper which is a lot better as 1 it has a polo neck and can be removed quickly 2. it also tends to show bits of fluff from towels and stuff less often. The other is a navy blue v-neck jumper which looks a mess after doing soft furnishings. Our trousers are navy blue.
However I do not know if I will be there to see this happen or if I will have moved on. I know that Sainsbury's uniforms are indeed changing. Our new colours will be; black, orange and aubergine purple. The tops become purple the trousers black. As for fleeces I think they stay orange.
Whatta-burger shirts are navy blue and lightblue/white and then jeans or khaki pants.
my school's colors are black and gold, but we have no uniform.
The company for which I work gives us blue shirts for the line leaders but it's not mandatory that we wear them.
There is no desscode where I go at the moment. But throughout school our uniforms were either navy blue/white, or just navy blue.
Ugh, I remember wearing that jumper..though it was pretty warm. But I wanted a fleece but got that by mistake I think.Quote:

When I worked at Sears, I had to wear black white or khaki. I chose black. All the time. It was pretty okay.
My school uniform is a knee length skirt in Black Watch tartan, a white blouse and any colour jumper we want as long as it's a V-neck with no decoration. The boys have to wear a white shirt, a tie with the Black Watch tartan pattern, black trousers and the school blazer.
Whilst I was at school I had to wear a white shirt, black trousers and a dark green blazer and tie. :jess:
No uniform at college! The Sainsbury's uniform is a blue shirt, black trousers (duh), and a l33t tie that's black with red peppers on it. Thanks to comic relief it's non-uniform on Friday though.
Year 7-10 I had to wear navy blue trousers, stripy blue and white T-shirt and a navy blue jumper (they have to wear blazers now (haha))
Year 11 was black and white clothing like that we would wear in an office.
6th form I now get to wear anything I want! Though we can't wear jeans, trainers, stap tops, tops with offensive logos on and anything which looks untidy. :P
Our school uniform is all black :( Well except for the red and gold tie.....:bigsmile:
We have a white collared shirt, a red and green striped tie with a small stripe depending of what house you're in (My house, Miles, has light green. Windsor has yellow, Chesire has orange, Fry has light blue, Gel has white, and Huxley has purple), a green skirt or black trousers, and a green blazer.
HUXLEY.
My school uniform consists of:
Black trousers.
White shirt.
Black blazer.
Black "work shoes".
Underwear (optional)
Socks (optional)
Undershirt (optional)
20 charity bands (optional)
More bracelets on other wrist (optional)
I, personally, make the school uniform sexy. :bigsmile:
White shirt with Gold emblem, navy shorts for school. Bright red shirt, dark pants for work. I'm the only one at work with the new bright red shirt, so I stand out heaps.
