Golden Kingdom Uniform

This is the uniform that was worn by the Shitennou both during the Silver Millenium, and after they returned to being Endymion's guardians. So this is essentially the "Prince's bodyguard uniform," I suppose, but that name is too long. Some have theorized that this uniform is intended only for formal occasions, while the other one was meant for everyday wear. This could be true, as the times they are shown wearing these uniforms in the present day is when they are speaking to Endymion, and it would be just like them to consider such a conversation a formal occasion.

I would also like to point out how impractical some aspects of this uniform are--for example, they only have armour covering them from the knees down. While I'm sure it is beneficial to keep one's kneecaps covered, I have to wonder what the point would be of having armoured feet while leaving one's chest exposed. Capes, while having the benefit of sweeping dramatically, are likely difficult to fight in. And let's not forget how difficult it is to get blood stains out of white fabric. I do love these uniforms more than the grey ones, but there is certain merit in considering them being used for formal occasions only. Either way, for the sake of convenience, I will refer to them as the Golden Kingdom uniforms. Unlike in the Dark Kingdom, all of these uniforms are identical in style and color.

Uniform
The overall uniform seems to be a variation on the Dark Kingdom ones (or more likely, vice-versa). But unlike their evil counterparts, these ones seem more, well, uniform. They do not differ from one to the other, not even in color. The connection to Japanese school uniforms is a little less obvious, save for the high collar, but the overall style is unmistakeably military.

Jacket
The jacket is white with gold piping and a high collar. It is somewhat similar to Prince Endymion's jacket, although not quite as fancy.

Jewels
The jewels appear to be a kind of amber color. They attach the capes to the jackets. This is one of the few aspects of this uniform that is actually less fancy than the other uniform style, as there are no ornate epaulettes to go with the jewels.

Cape
The capes are a dark brown color and are lined on the inside with midnight blue. They end just at the calves.

Sword
Like Endymion, they all carry swords. The hilt appears to be made of leather, and the sword itself is shorter and narrower than Endymion's. Inlaid in Kunzite's sword is what appears to be a couple of green jewels. The other swords are never shown in color, so it is unknown whether they have similar decoration.

Pants
No vinyl here. These are normal brown pants to match the cape.

Armour
Metallic armour covers their legs from the knees down to the feet.
