20 year cape looks ridiculous

I would like to wear it, but I feel ridiculous with it on. The giant metal X's with the fruity tassels is too much. A couple of X's texted onto the cape would have sufficed. I'm sure it would have gotten the point across. The current design is so bad, I don't want to wear the cape at all. Am I the only veteran that feels this way about the cape?
