If they were, no one would have a problem. That being said, I wore a karate style gi for 5 years of Taekwondo, and no one complained. The main thing here is that the uniforms aren’t V-neck.

My school has green belts for students between orange and blue. We also have a green blet with a blue stripe, but not an orange belt with a green stripe. I've read about some schools that have camo-colored belts. Some day, someone might try to standardized student ciriculum, but at present even attempts to standardize black belt ciriculum is full of controversy.

TKD isn't karate. Yes the sports are similar, but... Do baseball players wear cricket uniforms while promoting baseball? Do football players (Real men's kind of football, not soccer) wear rugby uniforms to promote football? No. Do hockey players (Again, the real kind, not field hockey) wear lacrosse jerseys to promote their sport? No. All those sports are closely related to eachother and are similar. And besides, why give credence to the second most practiced martial art when you're promoting the first most practiced martial art? Yeah there is a well deserved uproar. TKD isn’t karate.

The kids wearing above are original TKD I style. I wored that during my TKD days back in early 1980s. The color of belts should only about four (White - Blue - Red - Black), TKD I added couple of more color Yellow & Green, not too sure about Brown. There is another style of TKD uniform, which just looks like tracksuit - I guess this version is for sport & training.

Kyokushin Karate founder was the famous Mas Oyama (Korean went Japan during post war era and took Japanese name; Korean name: Choi Yeong-eui). So Karate is not 100% owned by Japanese, Coz, Karate came from one of Bul-do (Budaism's MA - Zen or Son buddaism). Is one of the prefered un-armed combat style and TKD took it from there. TKD is divided into TKD I & II; TKD I was original TKD which is very similar to Kyokushin Karate and another modern Korean MA called Hapkido. TKD II version is more sporty type purely developed for Olympic or leisure style. Well, TKD is modern version of combined MA of Taekkyon and Kyokushin Karate.

Originally Taekwondo was imitated Shotokan-ryu Karate and founded in post war. Actually the founder of Taekwondo had done Shotokan-ryu Karate for a long time in Japan. But Korean have been telling lies all over the world that Taekwondo is origin of Karate. This is so ridiculous!
