Presenters info about why fencers wear white uniforms, is complete BS!!! Fencers wear whites NOT because it's a sign of "aristocracy or purity". Fencers only wore (even though most wear predominantly white color unis, the new rules allow pastel colors as well) whites, because before invention of electric scoring systems, fencers dipped the tip of the weapon into the washable color solution to register a touch. White uniforms best refllected the scoring.
