Ze'ev,
Do you actually wear green hakama at your dojo, or is that just artistic license with the avatar? I always wished that dark green hakama were acceptable.

The idea of ONLY blue or black hakama being 'traditional' is a fairly new thing. The idea of a white keikogi or judogi is also pretty much a new thing.
You can, BTW, get hakama in many colors (Mugendo even can get you some very snazzy pinstriped numbers -- VERY traditional, VERy formal ...) from places like:
Mugendo Budogo:
www.budogu.com
Seidokai Supply:
http://sdksupplies.netfirms.com/
Both offer good quality stuff and provide excellent service.
I let folks wear pretyt much what they want, color-wise, and as long as it's not eye-damagingly ugly ...
I've threatened for years, to find someone to make me a hakama in the Gordon tartan.
