That doesn't seem outrageous to me, but I think Andrew Sarasin is looking for someone to say what he wants to hear i.e. that it's fine to do what you like. That probably isn't going to happen. I'd feel gross doing it. What do you say when someone asks about your blue belt ranked rashie? Explain that you're just wearing it because it looks good? I like purple but I'll stick with my white belt on my gi even though it doesn't look anywhere near as cool.
Also, I'm pretty sure Coach Herzog made this clear on the last thread. Let's not go undermining someone as well respected as the forum moderator. I'm in a similar situation as a ronin where people aren't so familiar with 10p so I think we should make
extra effort to associate ourselves with 10p and follow the rules etc if we wanna be ranked in 10pjj one day.
