CEO Clarifies Uniform Policy
By: Ladytkd Date: January 13, 2015, 11:14 am

Now this is all they had to say in the first place instead of
letting this spiral with denouncements that the State Manual had
not changed, when it had indeed changed.

The purpose of this communication is to clarify concerns about
the possible mandatory and exclusive wear of one brand of
uniforms and gear for State Championships in 2015.
There is no requirement for athletes to use only USA Taekwondo
brand gear and uniforms at State Championships.
USA Taekwondo strongly encourages our athletes to use USA
Taekwondo brand uniforms and gear so that our brand becomes more
visible, but once again, there is no requirement to do so at
State Championships, or at local USAT-sanctioned events.
Daedo and Vision are contracted as our National Sponsors/Vendors
and as such, it is our hope and desire that our members and
event participants will patronize them as much as possible.
States are free to continue to allow uniforms and gear of their
choice, as has been the practice in previous years.
We are aware that erroneous information was prematurely included
in the 2015 State Championships Manual, and on the Vision
website. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the early
release of that incorrect information.
The information contained in this announcement is accurate and
is what should be adhered to.

Aha! So the source of all of the "rumors and disinformation"
steps forward ....
How about, "we apologize to those of our membership that
actually reads the information published by USAT and its
vendors, and for accusing them of actually reading it."

A clarification from the USAT is laughable....
