Man accused of posing as Dodger on field LOS ANGELES — A man faces criminal charges for allegedly stealing a uniform from Dodger Stadium and posing as one of the team's players. Ronald Higgins pleaded not guilty to several charges Friday, including burglary and trespassing. The 47-year-old Higgins was arrested Wednesday morning after a security guard found him walking on the field in a Dodgers uniform and holding a glove with two balls. Higgins allegedly identified himself as a Dodgers player, but the guard recognized him from an earlier incident and called police. Prosecutors say Higgins' clothes were later found...

The Russian troops who occupied Georgia's military base of Senaki have gone. But they didn't forget to leave a parting message to the United States graffitied on the wall. "Thank you Uncle Sam for the uniforms you presented to the Russian paratroopers!" The Georgian flag Saturday was flying from the mast of the base for the first time since Russian troops poured into Georgia after it launched a bid to regain control of the breakaway province of South Ossetia on August 8. But Georgian troops came back to their base opened just in 2006 in the west of the former...

After a century of green uniforms, the last one is being retired from the U.S. Army. The new "Class A" uniform, as of August 21st, 2008, will be the current blue "Dress Uniform.". By 2010, troops graduating from basic training will be issued the "dress blues" as their "Class A" uniform. The "Class B" uniform will be the dress blue trousers and a white shirt with decorations (ribbons, combat badge and so on). For both enlisted and officers, rank will be worn on epaulets. The new uniform "system" is similar to the one the U.S. Marine Corps has been wearing...

It used to be that political campaigns would be satisfied if they managed to settle on an eye-catching font for their T-shirts and trucker caps. The merchandise wasn't so much designed as it was stamped out like a pile of red, white and blue bunting. Political paraphernalia was mostly about the message -- not the aesthetics. Now it is enthusiastically and abundantly about style. The Barack Obama campaign, which has been actively courting the fashion industry, has coordinated some 20 or so designers who are creating official merchandise for the candidate's Web site. It is the first time, as far...

Each day millions of Americans head out to work, many of whom who wear uniforms in their profession and yet six Muslim Somali women working in a tortilla factory in Minnesota are not only refusing to wear their uniforms but have filed complaints with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission claiming "religious discrimination". CAIR, or the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a civil liberties group, is demanding the company give the women back their jobs and let them wear the Muslim prescribed loose fitting skirts and scarves, which would be dangerous to the women in a workplace where there's mechanical equipment.

Discrimination against British soldiers in uniform to become a criminal offenceby MATTHEW HICKLEY - More by this author » Last updated at 16:35pm on 19th May 2008New laws will make it a criminal offence to discriminate against Britain's soldiers, sailors and airmen wearing uniform in public, under Government proposals outlined yesterday. Courts will also hand out tougher punishments to anyone who assaults or threatens a serviceman wearing the Queen's uniform - which will become an 'aggravating factor' during sentencing. Other measures designed to boost recognition and respect for the UK armed forces include a drive to encourage thousands more...

SAN FRANCISCO -- Public schools don't violate students' freedom of expression by requiring them to wear uniforms, a federal appeals court in San Francisco ruled Monday. In a 2-1 decision, the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a Nevada school district's clothing rules against challenges from students, including a high school junior who was suspended five times for a total of 25 days for wearing a T-shirt with religious slogans. The Clark County School District's policies were not intended to squelch free speech, but instead were aimed at "creating an educational environment free from the distractions, dangers and disagreements...

CHICAGO - Uniforms belonging to U.S. Transportation Security Administration officers were left in the open at an O'Hare International Airport checkpoint last month, as was a cash box, officials said Monday. TSA spokesman Elio Montenegro said the items were in an area past security checkpoints, insisting that someone wearing a TSA uniform still could not get into a secure area without the proper identification. "First and foremost, at no time was security or safety breached," Montenegro said Monday. "At all times, the items in question were in the secure area of the airport ... and at no time were they...

OCEANSIDE, CALIF. — The Marine Corps is taking on the role of fashion police. Earlier this year, the Marine Corps commandant updated the regulations on what Marines can and cannot wear, on duty and off, in the United States. Among the fashion don'ts: No shiny metal or gems on your teeth, no designs carved in your hair, no flashy jewelry and no bare midriffs or excessive cleavage (Damn). But it is Gen. James T. Conway's ban on the wearing of camouflage uniforms, or "cammies," off base that is getting the most attention, changing not only the appearance of the Marines...

In response to Soldier feedback, Program Executive Officer-Soldier has designed the new Army Combat Shirt to be even more breatheable. The flame-resistant ACS is in development for use under body armor. It is designed to replace two layers, the Army Combat Uniform jacket and moisture-wicking T-shirt, thus reducing bulk and heat stress.

ROME (Reuters) - A decree this month by Pope Benedict allowing wider use of the old Latin mass has spawned a veritable cottage industry in helping Roman Catholic priests learn how to celebrate the centuries-old rite. A Web site, helpline, DVDs and a training course at Oxford are among resources springing up for priests who want to celebrate the old-style mass but aren't sure which vestments to wear or where to get them, when to genuflect, how deep to bow, or how to clasp their hands in prayer. "There will be priests who will say: 'Oh my God, I want...

FORT HUACHUCA — In the 1880s, a cavalry troop change-of-command ceremony on Brown Parade Field consisted of many solders on horseback. The days of horse-mounted soldiers are about gone, except for a few memorial or special units. So, it was that a small group — less than a squad — took part in the handover of the command of B Troop, 4th U.S. Cavalry Regiment (Memorial) on the parade field Thursday. Dressed in the blue wool uniforms troopers wore in the late 1880s, at a time when the 4th Cavalry was stationed on the post, honorary Capt. Rodney T. Preuss...

As retail giant Wal-Mart is marking its 47th year, the empire is making some surprising changes. The emperor's getting new clothes: polos and khakis, to be exact. And for the 1.3 million U.S. Wal-Mart employees the new policy is preppy. "The vest is being retired and replaced with this dress-code look that actually has our customers saying that they can see our associates more prominently in the stores," said Celia Swanson, of Wal-Mart. Employees at the home store in Rogers, Ark., seemed excited to embrace the latest fashion. "You feel more professional with it," said one Wal-Mart employee. "Before, when...

by Xinhua writer Cheng Yunjie, Xu Lingui BEIJING, July 3 (Xinhua) -- In contrast to the eye-catching uniforms recently unveiled by the People's Liberation Army, a new line of military wear has been designed to make its wearers less visible. Labeled "digital camouflage", the new training fatigues sport computer-generated camouflage patterns which, their creators say, are designed to simulate natural environments. "The camouflage pattern resembles a big bunch of flowers from a distance and crushed gravel close up," said senior engineer Zhang Xudong with the Quartermaster Equipment Institute (QEI). The previous camouflage patterns worn by the PLA training outfits were...

BEIJING - Now that the vast majority of Chinese civilians have adopted western-style clothes and trendy urbanites on the hunt for cool items in tune with world fashion trends, the 2.3 million people serving in the country's military are also doing a style catch-up. Brand new ceremonial and casual uniforms -- and new battle fatigues -- were unveiled in Hong Kong on July 1, the 10th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to China, unleashing a loud hurrah from the mainland's enlisted men. Different from the "97 Style" uniforms issued to garrison troops in Hong Kong and Macao, this upgrade will...

Troops of the People's Liberation Army are to become chic symbols of national pride and sophistication -- so says the commander who oversaw the latest uniform upgrade. Liao Xilong, director of the Chinese military's logistics department, explained in loving detail the virtues of the new uniforms, which went on display in Hong Kong over the weekend. "A uniform represents the image of the military and is a country's calling card," Liao told the official Xinhua news agency, complaining that the previous designs "lacked colour coordination". "This adjustment of our military's uniforms gave more attention to functionality and a human touch,...

A major London exhibition on the history of military camouflage looks at how it took to the field and ended up on the catwalk. Dress the French army as harlequins, Picasso reportedly quipped during World War I, and the diamonds will make them harder for the enemy to see. France, perhaps wisely, declined to kit out its soldiers as Italian clowns but was otherwise happy to apply Cubism to the war effort, on the principle that a broken-up form is harder for a spotter-plane to sight. In pictures: Camouflage The Section de Camouflage, staffed with minor Cubist painters and...

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26, 2007 – Insurgents who attacked the Provincial Joint Coordination Center in Karbala, Iraq, were dressed in U.S. Army-styled combat uniforms and carried U.S.-type weapons, convincing Iraqi checkpoints to allow them passage, military officials released today.

Fashion statement: NFL refs to sport new uniforms Associated Press ALBANY, N.Y. -- Coming this fall to an NFL stadium near you: fashion-forward referees. Gone are the traditional vertical black-and-white stripes that have been a staple of the league seemingly since its inception and that live on in Foot Locker stores and DJ booths around the country. In their place is a flashier look that features wide white stripes and thin black stripes that flare around the shoulders and upper arms. In addition to giving their annual lecture on rules changes for the upcoming NFL season, several referees debuted the...

Based on feedback received during visits with Airmen across the Air Force, the Air Force Uniform Board is reviewing several concepts that Airmen have suggested regarding the appearance of the service dress uniform. Some of the informal feedback about the current service dress includes Airmen wanting to revamp the service dress to look more military, like the other services. One senior airman said, “the current uniform resembles a cheesy business suit.” A staff sergeant said, “think world’s most dominating air power, not CEO,” and another described it as a “cheap leisure suit.” Other comments have suggested that the uniform needs...

Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has ordered uniforms replicating those worn by U.S. and British troops and will issue them to paramilitary fighters who would attack Iraqi civilians and blame it on Western forces, the U.S. Central Command charged on Thursday.

The military is investigating how clothing and equipment that's issued only to Canadian soldiers is ending up for sale on the internet. The sale is also raising concerns about the security of Canadian troops. "Someone might represent themselves as a Canadian soldier, being in perfect uniform and gear, until they get close enough to set off a suicide bomb," he said. Each piece of the uniform is distinct, with its own serial number. And it's not supposed to be worn by anyone other than a member of the Canadian Armed Forces. It's illegal for civilians to own or wear the...

FORT HUACHUCA — Exodus has begun, but unlike the Israelites of old who left Egypt, those who are departing this southern Army post en mass will be back.

And, for the first time, soldiers who are in their initial military occupational specialty training have been directed to wear their uniforms home.

YOKOSUKA NAVAL BASE, Japan — For many servicemembers, little inspires more dread than the voice of a superior officer beckoning them to stand “front and center” for a lecture on uniform standards. But deviating from those standards is part of the job until later this year for 100 Yokosuka sailors — from Commander Fleet Activities Japan and Commander Naval Forces Japan — who are wear-testing four new uniforms for the chief of Naval Operations’ Task Force Uniform initiative. Along with other volunteers from Naval bases worldwide, the Yokosuka sailors will report their likes, dislikes or comments they get from fellow...

Back to white? Who's the nurse? Is it the person who walks into your hospital room wearing a blue tunic and picks up your meal tray?

What nurses wear has become a hot issue over the last couple of years as hospitals in Georgia, Texas, Illinois...

Protests as Army buys uniforms from China By Zoe Griffin (Filed: 02/08/2004) British Army combat uniforms will be made in China in a new attempt by the Ministry of Defence to cut costs. Contracts with 60 British-based suppliers have been terminated and a £50 million deal signed with a firm that sub-contracts much of its work to factories in China. The move has prompted concerns that firms that have made Army uniform for years will be forced to close. But the MoD said the new contract could save British taxpayers £23 million. An MoD spokesman said: "High street shops have...

LONDON (AP) - The president of world soccer suggested that female players wear more revealing uniforms to bring more attention to their sport. One English player called the suggestion by FIFA president Sepp Blatter ``ridiculous'' and ``irresponsible.'' Blatter said women's soccer needed different sponsors from the men's game and should try to attract fashion and cosmetics companies by featuring ``more feminine uniforms.''``Tighter shorts, for example,'' Blatter told the Swiss newspaper SonntagsBlick. ``In volleyball the women also wear other uniforms than the men. Pretty women are playing football today. Excuse me for saying that.''Brandi Chastain caused a stir at the Women's...
