wearing fancy pants was never a "tradition" of the nyc cny parade. considering the fact that fireworks was such a huge part of the parade before the ban, those silky satin type pants would've been ruined after 10 minutes.

CCYL use to use the "Slick Satin Pants" mainly because it was good for protecting against fireworks. But also, because it did look better than a pair of Levis. For "private" shows we use the "proper" pants. But during the parade(s) when you have 20 or so guys alternating Lions its not feasible to have everyone wearing the "pants" I will suggest bringing back the Satin Pants. Be Well

Traditional lion dancing did NOT have pants to go with the lions. There was no "proper" attire back in the days. So I think Armyboy is being somewhat contradictory by stating that he is only impressed by real "authentic" lion dancing in proper attire. However, I do agree that having some other pants other than jeans would look better. I've seen some schools use coloured satin pants if they don't have the actual lion dancing pants that come with the lion.

u didnt answer my question and if u buy th whole set then u would get the fuking pants it called a bargen

I doubt your group has pants for 30+ people. This is traditional style of blessing stores. If your so traditional, then explain to everyone what tradition is.

[hamster133]

there not my crew

my crew all ways has they pants lol

but u gotta understand that it depends how they use the tradition
