If a uniform is capable of that that then I'm sorry to say, I don't think the kid had much creative self-expression in them.

Heh, agreed.

In my high school girls who were in this gang/clique set themselves different by rolling up the sleeves of their oversized shirts. The senior girls tied their tie short instead of long. You can identify the first years/new transfers because their uniforms actually fit X-D (Mine was three sizes too large, IIRC.)
