School uniform yucky colours

[wasgoingmadinthecountry]

Please can I ask for your views? At a regular state primary school what are the most horrid colours for school sweatshirts? What are the best? What do you/your children like?

From the normal range of primary school colours - blue, red, navy, yellow, dark green, bright green, purple, light grey.

Thanks - most interested in your LEAST favourite.

All of them.
I dislike uniforms.

Why do you ask?

Yellow is the worse. They usually look like they have been washed in with dark stuff and are a nasty faded colour after a while.

For me grey, green and navy are awful. I prefer bright colours, i love purple but not many schools have that colour uniform.

But seriously - white for shirts is the dumbest thing ever.
White.
For children with pens and paint.
Ha ha ha haaaaaaaa.
No. Don't do it.

I think it's always best to choose a colour uniform you like and send your children there!

I mean what could go wrong!

Double whammy of ‘yucky’ and ‘horrid’ in one post...

Are any of the colours bad? Yellow is a bit impractical but they’re all pretty inoffensive.

Yellow is the worst.

My secondary school uniform was black and bright yellow (with the option of knee height yellow socks which no one wore! Everyone, even in winter wore ankle socks).

Truly horrible uniform.

The worst I have seen was a catholic primary school with brown trousers / skirts and yellow tops with brown jumpers 😬
Ks2 wear white shirts with brown and yellow ties.

Blue, red, green ok.
Dont like yellow or purple or any weird colours.
Grey isnt a colour for young kids.

I thought that about white shirts and probably for ks1 is stupid but my dc moved schools and went from a pale ish but coloured polo shirt to a white shirt and I was horrified but actually the shirts wash up soooo much better than the polo shirts did and don't shrink all the bloody time !!

Blue Red yellow are the best.
Easiest to find in supermarkets

I’m not keen on yellow or green. My DC’s uniform is purple which I love. Red or navy usually look smart.

Agree yellow is awful.. purple ok but does look a bit odd..not that keen on green..

Yellow not so practical.
Light grey seems boring and impractical too.

Why do you ask?

Yellow. One wash and it ends up looking sludgy.

They can call it gold all they want but it is always sunflower yellow!

Yellow worst, dark green best.

Blue and Green. Hate yellow

Are you designing a new school uniform.

Ours is navy and fades and looks washed out quite quickly.
Black and dark green probably the same.

Grey washes well but is a bit depressing.

I prefer purple, red, bright green, bright blue. Or maybe maroon. I'd like matching joggers too, like they have in places like China, rather than grey school skirts or trousers.

Yellow and pale blue are massively impractical, and would end up looking filthy.

My high school uniform was brown though, so I have strong feelings about this ha!

Yellow and brown at DD's. I hate it for so many reasons.

Don't like yellow. I like blue and purple. My children's is purple and I really like it!

Looking at it as a teacher as we are considering our uniform - what do parents think? Just really want to know if there's a colour you'd go, "Ooh, really? Why on earth?" to if your child's school was changing sweatshirt colour. Hard to keep clean? Might fade?

My children are all grown up. I may be out of sync with parents in 2021. No hidden agenda! Thanks.

That's all - no hidden aganda.

I don't mind. Primark Uggs go with everything.
