FCB are quite open about the fact that they have no money so cannot 
buy smart band uniforms.  As a new band without sponsorship their 
solution seems to be an imaginative and practical one.

But it isn't an entirely new idea.  The London Sinfonietta (our 
leading 20th Century music ensemble in the UK) play in coloured 
shirts, in spite of the fact that they offer a diet of serious, newly 
commissioned and often quite experimental music in some of the major 
music venues all around the world.  They seem to have little problem 
in attracting sponsorship!

I agree that traditional band uniforms can look very smart but think 
its great when a band dares to be different!
