MY oc named Nightly in his days in the army, he fought against the changeling swarm with the lunar rebellion so i thought of uniform ^.^
The uniform is entirely made of cloth and has a dark trenchcoat over it and leg-warmers, i've based it on the armor of luna's gaurds, also i tried not to let it look too impressive with armor parts and such, the rebellion was not as wealthy as the imperial army after all. it've also tried to let it look a bit old-fashioned because this war occured when the mane 6 were'nt even born yet, back in the year 1946, nightly was a young colt of about 17 years old.
a little bit of history : The lunar rebellion was formed in the late 30's, after the disappearence of the crystal empire 948 years ago together with Luna's banishment to the moon. equestria was the strongets and wealthiest nation of all.before Granny smith (then a filly) moved with her family there was a growing division of pony kind, this time between they who walk in the daylight and the minority of ponies that only come out at night. for 9 centuries they were ruled by princess celestia as an absolute ruler, because she is the princess of the sun this was very insulting to some.the nocturnal ponies also claimed it was not celestia's birthright to raise the moon, they felt alone,neglected, and surpressed. princess luna was their only princess they wanted to serve,but after she was defeated by celestia and banished...in secret the followers of luna forged in secret a rebellion against the tyranny of the sun : the Lunar rebellion,sworn to fight the empire, and let their princess rule the night once again.
Great design! As you said, not too fancy, but elegance need not be fancy. Reminds me of the American Revolution.
I'm confused about the history, though. I can understand nocturnal ponies resenting Celestia, but Luna (as possessed by the Nightmare) seems to have been pretty tyrannical herself.
oh but during that time Luna was sealed away in the moon still. as nightmaremoon stated "the night will last forever", that statement gained her followers ^.^

You do now.
