If the school are providing it then that sets a lower floor for how bad it can be. Currently poor kids will just keep wearing it until there are too many holes for it to work as clothing or they run out of siblings to pass it down to.
Comment on Why this school will ditch a shirt, tie and blazer from its uniform

Will just take burden of poor while continuing to hilight the difference in quality.

You may want to look at school funding and the attitude of the last 1t years of government to such.
Before considering that the future of school provided uniforms will be any newer or in any better condition.

Everyone will get equally shit clothing, at least everyone will be equal. I mean that is the entire point we keep getting told we need uniforms in the first place…

That assumes those with money. Will not go separately to buy clothing. While those without telly on the school.
Sorry but that is not the way it will work. Just because schools are required to provide the uniforms. Dose not mean their will not be a market for uniforms outside the schools supply.

I agree it wont place a top cap on wealth displays, but it will raise the bottom cap
