It is awful--but ours are no better, and we had a famous "name" designer coming up with "Ugly Nazi French School Uniforms from the 1930s" as our kit, and outsourcing the production of those ghastly things to China...so all we can do is empathize with the Spanish.

Those Spanish uniforms mean just one thing--that we won't win FIRST prize for the ugliest unis!!
