And what would that mean?the color of the uniform means nothing (except for pink maybe)
I'd say take it up with Gene LebellFeisty Mouse said:And what would that mean?
you still didn't answer this question...i'm curious as well...Hollywood1340 said:Judo Disaster, huh? Okay Mr. Skerry, what is your Judo Education beyond the websites mentioned? You still haven't answered that one. Since you know so much you see.
it most likely would have been cost prohibitive...dyeing a whole gi blue...late 19th century...the gi's were probably still handmade...and most people probably didn't have access to a textile plant to go and dye their gi......yet, kano understood that you need to distinguish between two competitors in a shiai which is why you were the sash...how can you say that if there was an affordable way to dye gi's and make them readily and inexpensively available to the public, Kano wouldn't have done it...Patrick Skerry said:If Dr. Kano or the Kodokan wanted to dye the judogi blue, they could have done it a long time ago.
When Judo Gene LeBell, the professional wrestler and showman, wore a colored judo gi, it probably had nothing to do with the IJF or shiai.Andrew Green said:I'd say take it up with Gene Lebell
My opinion on Gi's - I prefer just about anything over white. White always ends up looking dirty...
Maybe each club could go with there own team colours, same as in any other sport. That would definately help out the spectators in being able to tell who is who.
anyways, trolls fed for the day.
Hi Bignick,and as far as olympic tkd goes...the only uniform allowed is white, you should be looking up to them...
go go girls? SWEET!:uhyeah:Patrick Skerry said:there will be silver and gold latex judo suits with bright sprinkles and go-go girls holding up place cards

Patrick,Patrick Skerry said:the introduction of the blue gi to make the lazy referee's job easier and to provide eye-candy to ticket buying spectators.

Actually, the IJF standard for the competition judo gi is anything but 'loose fitting', they are more closely fitting than the Japanese judo gi. And yes, I think the blue gi contributes also to spectator enjoyment. At least that is what Jimmy Pedro, Jr. told me about judo in Germany.IamBaytor said:Patrick,
Can you really call loose fitting clothes like a gi "eye candy"? :uhyeah:
