Who’s ready for some new uniform ideas?

While we do love our current Rosary uniforms, I thought it would be interesting to brainstorm some new ideas. Don’t get me wrong, the polo and plaid skirt make a great combo, but I do wish I could accessorize a bit more. So on the topic of accessories, let’s go over some of the items I wish were a part of the Rosary uniform (please know that this is a joke; we love our uniform the way it is):

1. First off, we have senior Rebecca Nassar‘s lovely idea: ushankas. These furry hats are perfect for keeping your head and ears warm, which would be especially fitting for the colder months ahead. I can definitely imagine these pieces coming in a bold, Rosary red, perhaps even with a bedazzled “R” on the side.
2. Speaking of colder months, I would love having a Rosary infinity scarf in my collection of Royal merch. These are amazing during a freezing morning and have become my secret to avoid that dreaded cold. Do us a favor, Rosary, and start making us those scarves!
3. Would it not be amazing to have suspenders? I just know Mr. Chavez would love having these. And, if you’re struggling to stay awake during the school day, just snap them and

   

   bam! You’ll definitely wake up.

4. Next up, I have to include senior Adreanna Esquivias‘s suggestion for toe socks. She says, “I want each toe to spell out ‘Royal,’ and I want the toe socks to be knee-high.”
5. Last but not least, I could not help but include ponchos as part of our list. This beloved cloak-type clothing articles will be a perfect addition to our Rosary uniform. I can imagine these coming in red or white (just like our polos), with a Rosary “R” on the top right. Is anyone else seeing what I’m seeing?

Even though these ideas will likely never come to fruition, it’s fun to think of the unlimited possibilities of our Rosary uniform. While it may be great to have ushankas, infinity scarves, suspenders, toe socks and ponchos, our current uniform is already perfect as it is, and we need to make sure to follow our guidelines!
