Police officers around the country, or even the world, do not all wear the same uniforms. Different colors, styles, ect.
So I was thinking. wouldn’t the Ghostbusters be the same? I mean depending on location, and local styles and everything, some franchises would maybe wear green uniforms, or dark blue. Maybe some would wear standard jump suits instead of flight suits.
So could it not still be “accurate” if someone were to have a military green, or dark blue uniform, or any other changes for that matter?
Do whatever you want, be your own person, blah blah blah. I personally don’t care for different colored suits (there are some exceptions) but that’s my opinion. Different groups have different feelings on the subject. Most groups stick to the khaki because it’s more recognizable/ correct, and most groups want everyone to match each other. The way groups differentiate themselves is by custom patches. But what it all comes down to is what you want.
Worst case scenario: Make 2 flight suits. I know a few people who have their “official” uniform that they wear to events then a “personal” one they wear to conventions, parties ect.
I was not saying they were like the police. i was saying that if there were multiple groups around the world, chances are they would not all wear the same uniform.
Because I would rather spent the time putting information or questions in the post then trying to put it all in the subject title.
I agree that you should just do whatever you like when it comes to your costume, but if you’re talking accuracy, what you see in the movies is what you get.
As far as drawing a connection between the Ghostbusters and police, I don’t really think that’s an accurate analogy. Police departments around the country wear different uniforms because they are all seperate entities, and choose their uniforms based on different criteria. Ghostbusters, if they were real, would all work for the same corporation, and would probably be issued the same uniforms that everybody else gets. It’s not like you see McDonald’s employees wearing region specific uniforms.
If you want to wear something other than the khaki flight suit, by all means, go ahead. Don’t worry about trying to justify it to anybody.
well David, as many have said before do what you want color wise but please no store bought yellow ■■■■ thats one way to ■■■■ off your fellow GB. In my group our base color is the blue/black suit and we have different color collars to show rank. Its no big deal and there is no golden unbreakable that has to be followed. Have fun enjoy your fandom and who cares what you wear. Christ there was a guy on here that made a Hello Kitty suit
Actually, McDonald’s issues different uniforms all over the place. The town I live in, they wear black “polo” shirts. then when I go to the very next town over (about 30 miles away) they wear dark maroon shirts. Both places are corp owned.
And lets not forget that fact that GB’s would not be a corporation. at least not all of them. Peter says “The franchise rights alone…” so that would give the franchises a little room to alternate uniform colors and stuff.
Powlowki and I have been talking back and forth the idea of designing some new colors for us to wear for parades, cons etc. So its all up in the air right now. We both really like xxxextoxxx uniform and want to go something like that.
