In ‘Behind the Signature Items‘, we discover which items Rebels are customising their event uniforms with! In this edition, we hear from Rebel Commander Gabi, General Mary, and Colonel Ruokannie!
View all of the posts in the Behind the Signature Items column series.
The iconic RPF uniform has stood the test of time for over seventeen years. From the rebellious Black Puffle Bandana and casual Black Hoodie, through to the steadfast Red Backpack and haunting glow of the Night Vision Goggles!
But despite these items being much-loved staples for any RPF member, more often than not we found ourselves customising the basics with a signature item or two to better represent our personalities and preferences!
Gabi
First up is Rebel Commander Gabi! Gabi’s uniform features two bold signature items – the Peach colour and the Rainbow Hair. She selected the colour because pink is one of her favourite colours – especially the softer tones which she describes as “pretty cute”.
As for The Rainbow Curls, she said: “I got them by chance on CP Rewritten back in 2021 and thought they were super fun and different to what other people were wearing. I just stuck with them when I joined RPF and discovered I could personalise my uniform!”
Mary
General Mary has four unique items in her event uniform. The White Diva Sunglasses and Brown Hair she describes as “really pretty”.
She said about the Blue Fluffy Stuffie: “I saw the blue fish and I loved it so I decided to wear it with our amazing uniform.”
She tied the rest of the uniform together with the Scuba Tank.
Ruokannie
Colonel Ruokannie made quite a few changes the RPF uniform in their customisation! They kept the head and face item, pairing them with a Navy blue penguin colour.
Front and centre is the hand item, which they said: “At first I was going to try different items for an all-black fit, but when I came across the Purple Electric Bass I thought it would compliment nicely with the original green guitar, which is why I wanted to make sure I kept the green in the goggles too! Purple is also my favourite colour!”
A huge thank you to our three participants this week! It’s been great to celebrate the signature pieces we’ve chosen and learn about the meanings behind them.
