    After I saw that, I was thinking...Koreans wear white hakamas with black stripes down the side...hell Team USA should wear our stars and stripes!

    INGENIUS, now USA can be more like Korea with sporty new Hakamas, thank you karatedepot.com!

    Now I know who supplies those US karate open guys. Man, you would get laughed out of the dojo if you showed up looking like that!

    They look like simple, honest, god-fearing Hakama to ME.

    Clearly an "American-know-how" improvement on the usual drab and frumpy "look" favored by those Nihon fellows. Of course, we'll need to modernize the rest of the gear too.

    I'm thinking white nylon with metallic gold trim for the Gi, and a "soaring eagle" motif for the Do... and Men... both of which will be made of traditional injection-molded high-impact styrene (foam padded, of course). The Kote will be replaced by arm-length vinyl padded gloves with plenty of room for sponsors names up the arms.

    And some specialized shoes.

    I wonder if I can sell space on my gi and hakama to corporate sponsors? Maybe Advil, Rub A5-35, Febreeze, Bissel Steam Cleaners, Gatorade, the local ER...

    I wonder, if kendo was actually televised, would companies want to sponsor you? would a small nike swoosh actually detract from the art? maybe a mon on the do with a cup of top ramen in the circle?

    I personally would be OK with sponsorship if the ZNKR put restrictions and rules on outfits. Like only putting a small logo where the mon would be. No garrish stars and stripes hakama please!

    Seems disrespectful to me, God help us, is nothing free of commercial contamination these days?

    What a wretched world!

    I'll never support such things, Japanese martial arts should be done as traditionally as possible. Either that or just create 'western' spin-offs and break the links once and for all.

    Why is it such views always come from the other side of the pond?
