Need some monsignors out there

I was looking at a monsignor's cassock and biretta, with the violet buttons and the piping on the seams and the little fuzzball on the hat, and I was thinking that the FSSP needs to get Rome to name some prelates of honor for them. It may not be customary for a religious institute to have monsignors, but why not give the coolest outfits to priests that will actually wear them? What's the point of having a monsignor in a faded black golf shirt?
