Talk:Political uniform

You tease, you flirt

And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt

Broadening the definition

I've added black berets and the IRA. Perhaps sashes should be included as well: I wonder if we should we count organizations like the Orange Institution as uniformed political movements? Their ceremonial costume is certainly a uniform. and Orange_Institution#Political_links presents plenty of evidence for their having political goals. -- The Anome (talk) 11:26, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Q- Would the black and white checkered PLO headscarf fall into this category? M-Henry (talk) 17:46, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

As a subcategory, would it be appropriate to add any information about the Black Bloc, or Autonomes? EdelweissPirate (talk) 01:57, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

the Chinese Blue Shirt Society, a secret clique within the Kuomintang

How could they be "secret" if they walked around in a uniform that betrayed their affiliation? Luke (talk) 15:43, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

It's also debatable if they even had a uniform and it wasn't just in their name. UniformsGuy (talk) 11:51, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

Should this article even be a thing?

Like, maybe it should just be a section on the main page for Uniforms? Most of this page is filled with fascist organizations (and most of them just copying each other), the 'youth groups' section contains what were just Soviet/East Bloc equivs to the Boy Scouts rather than a non-state party, and putting non-fascist groups next to fascist ones just because of a similar type of clothing feels a little disrespectful to the non-fascist ones.

A lot of them also aren't really 'uniforms' per se, such as the Yellow vests or groups that just have berets or sashes. UniformsGuy (talk) 11:50, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
