That bobblehead is out of uniform!

I found it amusing that the bobblehead of the National OA Chief is wearing non-uniform pants.

Not much else to say on that topic.

Actually, he looks like he's wearing the office wool slacks that many Professionals wear...

I also don't think they look like uniform pants. Wrong color IMHO. then again the lightin inthe photo could be wrong.

I also was wondering what the little blue knot was. Doesn't look like any I know.

 

Not to come across like a critic... I do think it's a fun idea. Odd why they wouldn't do one of the CSE, though... ;-)

The yellow/gold buttons aren't the regulation dark brown either

I was at our Council Commissioners Conference this weekend, and saw one of the professional staff members wearing a pair of the wool slacks. I also own a pair of the wool blend shorts (which I purchased during the 70% off sale), and have to say that the slacks and shorts are a much lighter shade of "green", almost greyish in color.

 

I also have a couple pairs of the 100% cotton slacks, that I've worn with my cotton shirt, and for whatever reason, they're a much darker shad of "green" than the blend pants with the "cargo" pockets.

The little blue knot on the bobblehead is supposed to be purple ...

Ah - the religious knot. That makes much more sense than Sea Badge, which was the only thing I could come up with. Thanks!

I was at NOAC, and the National Chief and Vice-Chief were wearing the wool slacks just about every time I saw them.

 

I'm beginning to think that gold loops and wool slacks are sold as a set. I very rarely see a troop or district level Scouter wearing them.
