Innovations in Bhangra Fashion/Style

Let's hear it for those people who took a risk trying something different on their unis...and caught people's eye! What worked, what didn't?

A few things I loved were the tie dye paggs (2007- SGPD and Yale, oops self pump), PAU's mini bells on the shoulders of their vests, Nachdi Girls wearing chaadars/jackets, one Gurdaspur Bhangra team I saw wore cow bells on one leg and danced...I saw a pic recently of a team with checkered jackets which looked pretty fresh.

How about pagg styles? What's your take on making a phul out of the end of the first lardh?

Feel free to post pics as examples!! :))

aeg - phuman on the foot. loved it.

I wasn't the biggest fan of the aeg gloves but they served them well.

face paint - fauj and nj

panj's white back and colored front (kurta/vest)


(Self pump) - SCB Argyle chadre

ABC - it's difficult to describe this, but the whole "positive/negative" vardi patterning. on one half of the vardi, the pattern would be white on color, and on the adjacent half, the same pattern would be color on white. here's a picture; you can see it best on the red guy

BAR-B's jackets are cool
Was just about to mention this.

I also liked the contrasting vest+kurta that AEG has been using at their party sets and at VIBC this year.

about to self pump aha, I'm pretty sure we were the first team to have the same color head to toe back in 2008, once Vcu did it it exploded. Then our massive peacocks on the kurta with our last ones.

-Sgpd chadre (started the stripes/checkers).

- JJ did beige kurte, Drexal did red kurte.

- Aeg did circles

- also a fan of the reverse colors ABC did with their vaardiyan...and i believe hurricane bhangra also has something similar to that?

- JJs beige base was sick, and the designs were very intricate

- i always liked the contrast of the black base with the rest of the colors that UVA used to wear, and then BK brought out with a gimmick
