A few years ago at Warriors of History, a couple of us got some good natured ribbing because the top kits in show that year had Under Armour peeking out at the collar. I said OK, I'll accept the challenge, and dropped the UA, switching to linen under tunics.
I have never looked back. I feel they work better, and are more comfortable. Also... since they are homemade... cheaper.

""If anyone bitches to me about the logo on my gloves, I'll just call them runes....and then hit them with a stick"

Wait, so your saying that his Grace (who is a fine valorous Gentelman) is saying that because he is a duke and of such renown prowess he can disobey a rule because he dislikes it? I'm sure that is a misquote. Or an inaccurate inference on my part.

Because such a fine man as his Grace can surely take the time to spay some paint or take a marker to such a small item as a logo, and increase the already great example he is to others.

:D


half joking, i have met the guy and he seems a fine fellow indeed.

I think it was more along the lines of "This rule is silly nitpickery, lets go have fun"

So "spay" painting over logos now? I am sure there are some cats and dogs that would not like that operation much.

Very nice video.

While I may no longer be in the SCA, I find this video to be perhaps the best one representative of what you guys do. Please keep it up and make more. I still talk the SCA up to folks and this is a good video to send them. I hope the SCA doubles it numbers because of it.

Damn good job.

(I only mention my not being SCA as this video is so good, even ex folks like me think its awesome)

Yep remember her. She takes getting clobbered as well as anyone on the field, and we all get clobbered at some point.

Leave the SCA better than you found it. Fight alot of cool people along the way.

Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong.
