Reason to wear certain colours...

A Menzies Dress kilt will look cool and will probably elicit quite a lot of favorable comments.

I'd like to suggest that a full-mask badger sporran would look great with that, but it saddens me to expect that some of the locals around here would probably be upset by it. You might have a much better estimate of the likelihood of that than I do, though. I'd also hate to run afoul of local Dept. of Natural Resources officials, even if I were wearing (European) Meles meles and not (local, protected) Taxidea taxus.

Oh, I got a whole No.1 Piper's Uniform in mind. Ostrich-feather bonnet with tall red hackle, red piper's doublet, Menzies Dress piper's plaid, aforementioned tartan kilt, regimental Badger sporran (the one with the 5 tassles), and red and white diced hose. Of course my pipe bag will have to be red with a big W on the side.

I dream of piping during halftime for the Badgers...or just playing for free cheese curds while tailgating. Either one.
