In my own experience back in the early 1950's, GI meant Government Issue. GI was used to describe the clothing, equipment, haircuts, and anything else characteristic of the military, as well as the military personnel and veteransthemselves who were called GIs because they used the GI clothing, etc.

What is judo uniform called?

A Judo Gi. The Gi in Japanese is translated into uniform. There are different types of uniforms. White and Blue, competition one and non-competition. Normally you will wear your non-competition uniform in your Dojo (the hall where you train with your instructors) And you'll wear your thick and heavy Gi to competitions. Also, it's very useful to own both white and blue uniforms. Because at competition you may be asked to switch colours. I personally use my blue Gi for competitions and my white Gi when I'm training. Hope this helps :)
