gray uniforms
Rebel soldier garb
Gray uniforms refers to the military dress of the Confederate Army during the American Civil War.
The color distinguished Southern forces from the Union's blue.
The phrase often serves as metonymy for Confederate soldiers themselves: The gray uniforms advanced across the field.
In other contexts, gray uniforms may simply describe any drab institutional clothing—school uniforms, prison garb, or service worker attire.
