I think it’s a very good idea. New recruits will not have their self-esteem bruised if they wear the same outfits that the “hero’s” do.
It’s the way of the world today: Everyone is equal no matter what they have accomplished. Self-esteem trumps everything.
It’s just like the government today: FAIRNESS is the motto and buzzword. No need to compete since everyone gets a participation trophy.
I’m glad I lived back in the old days where you were what you were and there were no participation awards.....because.....in real life there aren’t any!
Only if you are allowed to participate. (Straight male light skinned folks need not apply).
