No more men in black

Not the movies, but the suit color, because designating the operatives as wearing black suits sets them apart. So, the alphabetical agents (Agent J and Agent K and Agent etc.) should wear suits of a different color.

Not white, goodness no. Bringing attention to white takes attention from black, and that just will not do. And what kind of undercover agent would wear a white suit with white shirt and white tie? Such an agent would look more like a pimp than an uber-government agent, and drawing attention to the pimp-appearing agents, especially if an agent were black, would be counter-productive to governmental mandated “We don’t see color, except when enumerating private and government employees; city, county, state and national populations; tracking education demographics; and a host of other programs too numerous to mention.” White suits? No, no. The cleaning bills alone …

So, no men in black or men in white. Men in neutral colors? Gray. Not too closely associated with a race of aliens, of course. Men in blue? Men in tan? Men in pinstripes? Men in red?

No color is without its drawbacks.

Ooh, ooh, as Gunther Toody used to say. Here’s an idea: Let agents decide their own suit color, with approval from a supervisor, of course. And give supervisors free rein in approval. Easy decision.

End the men in black. And women in black. Hmm. Women in black. That brings in a whole ‘nother world of color possibilities. In suits.
