Think of it like academic regalia. I have heard colleagues complain about their hood & gown colours, but again, the whole point is identification.

Todd, you're right. I understand the rationale. It's just that don't agree with it from the point of view of my own aesthetics. If identification to a group, regiment, club, etc were my prime purpose, I would begin with that item (or items) and build the rest of my look around that. But that's the way my mind works.
