I think some have misunderstood me I do not mean to replace white shirts, but make blue shirts an option.

The problem with blue shirts? When it is very hot ,sweat patches are only too visible...

I do love blue shirts but please it must be a strong blue....
When the school is ordering to wear white ,the result is going to be straight forward but could you be sure of the same thing with blue?

Prussian ,French or other blues are available making difficult for the school to impose a particular blue...
Imagine 100 pupils with different blues or the same blue at different fading levels...

Different skin types and colours? Where is your school? is it private?

The ones with problems wearing white shirts are actually pale white boys who look like ghosts therefore my position pro-white is even politically correct than i thought.....

frankly, if I were looking for a uniform shirt, I would choose white. the idea of a uniform is for everyone to be the same. there are two many variations on blue, not to mention the fading issue.

The comment had nothing to do with what looked good, but with your White Shirt Supremacy.
