Class A Uniforms

The uniform makes the organization real and visible. It represents an    ideal and a standard. One of the ways to set up a standard and bring the    members of an organization up to that standard is through the uniform. It should stimulate loyalty toward that standard by building morale and binding members into closer fellowship.
