That uniform, if it existed at all, only lasted for about a year. Evidence suggests that the Shinsengumi in fact wore NORMAL clothing, not the blue and white we generally think of.

Yes...the truth is that they wore bright pink Haori's and their kamon was a Hello Kitty inside a circle. They pranced about singing the smurf theme song. The samurai at the time were so embarresed by this 'unmacho' image that they all vowed that this page in history would never be repeated and rewrote the shinsengumi as the killers we see them to be today.
