We’ve all had one.
As much as I hate to say it, mine was the one UCA gave us for the all-star parade in London one year. It was hideous: the colors were red, yellow, blue, and white. The sweater fit like a baggy pullover, the skirt was too long, and we had leggings that came in red, yellow, or blue. Thankfully I got the blue ones which were the least offensive, but the yellow ones were grotesque. If you carried ANY weight in your legs, those leggings highlighted every inch of it.
The whole uni looked like it’d been designed in 1986, and this was in the early aughts. It was outdated, ill-fitting, and poorly conceived.
The one they gave us a few years later for the Paris trip was better — they’d dropped the yellow by that time at least — but for awhile there UCA was testing how much you really wanted to go to Europe by making you wear the ugliest uni imaginable during your trip.
