I'm sorry, but they look horrid! I think it's the bright green that makes it look that way.

I must say they look a lot better in person the camera just does not do the green justice

I think Rotherfield's new stripes are brilliant. You aren't going to miss them during the procession are you? I reckon it's the closest anyone can get to costume if you can't afford your pirate gear or whatever...
Technically, 'stripes' ought to be vertical, as horizontal bands of colour would more accurately be described as 'hoops' (As in beer barrels, which given my physique would be most apt when I'm in kit).
