To OP: I think Uniforms are important factor to reduce discrimination based on class.

Just becauae you come from a poor family doesnt mean you should stick out from the crowd. Uniforms help equalize that playing field.

From my time in school, everyone knew who the poorer families wore despite our uniforms.

Plus uniforms cost more, poorer families cannot afford them. It financially burdens them more than others.

I'd argue survivorship bias might skew your perception here.

I'm all for cheaper uniforms though.
