if we ever hope to achieve victory, whatever that may look like, we must also achieve aesthetic victory. to that end, it is paramount that the uniforms of our futuristic knightly mannerbund look as good as possible. please share your design ideas in this thread.
i'll start by sharing my thoughts on the two most obvious sources of aesthetic inspiration: plate armor and the ss.
as far as i can tell, the aesthetic power of plate armor is peerless. when one is clad in full plate, it is as if an angel has descended from heaven to deliver divine wrath, never has man looked so close to a god. for obvious reasons nothing even approximating this is practical today, but perhaps some items can be made to resemble individual pieces of armor, as with the stahlhelms modelled after sallets.
that the iconic black uniforms of the schutzstaffel were the height of fashion in the 20th century cannot be disputed. i do not have much to say about them, except that we must forge a unique identity, thus we cannot rely too much on copying our predecessors. in particular i am not a fan of the funny-looking pants, but there does not seem to have been a universal standard anyways.
