    To OP: I think Uniforms are important factor to reduce discrimination based on class.

    Just becauae you come from a poor family doesnt mean you should stick out from the crowd. Uniforms help equalize that playing field.

      From my time in school, everyone knew who the poorer families wore despite our uniforms.

      Plus uniforms cost more, poorer families cannot afford them. It financially burdens them more than others.

    Less branded stuff is more sustainable too, it can be passed on. I got a bunch of uniforms at the 2nd hand uniform shop.

    @Aussieiuszko My son’s school tops are white. White. Who thought white was a good idea for Year 7 boys? Has to go in a bucket of whatever that pink bottle is at end of each day.
    And whilst high quality, they are only available from one supplier at stupid prices.
    Thankfully they’re just starting a 3 year swap over to dark blue.
