Well doesn't that look remarkably similar. Yes, there are certain physical differences (being a former collegiate track athlete I can assure you that curves and runners are generally mutually exclusive), but the uniforms are nearly interchangeable in a lot of ways. So is the uniform inappropriate? My feelings are certainly not. Outdated? Perhaps.

What do you think?
Inappropriate? Not at all. Dated? Yeah, probably. Though any uniform for a server in a restaurant has to be a compromise between aesthetics and practicality.
ReplyDeleteI like the OWTT's hair. It's sexy hair, and it really enhances their beauty.
ReplyDeleteThat girl in the front left is showing more leg than you guys! Although I've never thought your uniform was inappropriate to begin with.
ReplyDeleteI was on dance team in high school, and there are photos all over the dance room of past years' performances or whatever, and a lot of them are just leotards and not much else.
The story I was told back in the day at Hooters U was that the uniform was based on the outfit one of the founder's secretary wore to go run on her lunch break. Hence the dolphin shorts with hose and socks. The colors were the old Tampa Bay colors since it was founded in Florida. All makes since because that was the style of the day.
ReplyDeletetipsfortips, you've pretty much got the story down. The "aha" moment came when they were having lunch and a girl ran by in a typical pair of dolphin shorts and a tank. The reason for the orange is exactly as you stated.
ReplyDeleteThe hose however were not part of the original uniform, but rather came later and were adopted for function, not form.
I love the basic uniform, especially when wore with a football jersey. Strange but I hate the all-black Hooter's uniform. I wish more of these Hooters-haters could open their eyes and see the same comparison you shared with the track team. I can accept people thinking the uniform is outdated, which makes me curious. Sauce, what would change about the current Hooter's uniform? Not only from a Hooter's Girl perspective, but from a marketing and iconic brand perspective? Thanks
ReplyDeleteYou made your point very well. The styles of these 2 kinds of uniforms are almost identical save for the color scheme. If people have a problem with hooters uniforms, they need to rethink.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is they hear the name hooters and assume its a strip club or something. The expectations make people see a scandalous uniform while it's no more revealing than jogging wear, much less beach wear.
I was a hooters girl for Halloween and while it wasn't the most comfortable it covered enough of me. It definitely covers enough on the girls.
I am curious as to what function the leggings have? Aside from the fact that it makes your skin look smoother, which is form...
ReplyDeleteAnd incidentally, I own several pairs of shorts as short and shorter than hooters shorts for my sports. Indecent? Of course not. Dated? Definitely
