In its first edition, a Bulldog Press poll showed that 78% of responding girls disliked a new uniform while only 16% liked it. “The new uniform has no pizzazz or character,” said senior Amy Cervino. The new one included a gray herringbone skirt, gray pants and a navy cardigan sweater or vest, available for purchase from Dennis Uniform Co. The former dress code allowed navy pants and skirts as well and were bought at Nordstrom, whose supply of multiple blue hues resulted in “the uniform looking less and less like a uniform,” wrote Bulldog Press writer Cindy Gubasta. Junior girls disliked the change the most, with 90% expressing disapproval. Senior boys liked the new uniform most, with 68% endorsing the change.
