4.7. Clown Jacket

The official Unit jacket is a garish sport coat made up of different elementary colored panels and includes oversized features such as pockets and buttons.

This jacket shall be worn by members of this Unit when attending formal Shrine events such as, but not limited to, Shrine ceremonials and officer installations.

Jackets are provided by, and remain property of, the Unit. Any member that leaves the unit, regardless of the reason, is asked to return their jacket to the unit in the same condition or better as when they received it.

The jacket follows a traditional pattern for sport coat design in terms of the cut and fit of the jacket.

Each panel that makes up the jacket is cut from a color that will ensure no directly adjacent panel will be of the same color.

No two jackets match - no two combinations of panels on separate jackets will use the same set of colors.

The selected colors are elementary, using red, yellow, green, blue, orange, purple, etc. Black, white, brown, gray, and other “neutral” colors are to be avoided.

The buttons and pockets on the jackets are also brightly colored and deliberately oversized, utilizing contrasting colors relative to their placement.
