The shaved head is supposed to represent a crown of humility, representing you're chosen to serve God. It was done when presenting your clergy vows so in a sense it is part of a uniform as you said.
(Disclaimer: I think this anime is excellent. The following is only a nitpick, not a serious criticism) They mispronounce his name as "oksi" because it seems Japanese anime producers barely make any effort to accurately represents the cultures they're appropriating. Other examples include Golden Kamuy's incomprehensibly bad Russian, or Part 5 of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure having one of its villains repeatedly shout "di molto" (which, in Italian, is completely meaningless - it'd be like saying "of very" in English). I could sorta excuse this decades ago, when the internet was rudimentary and people still relied on physical dictionaries, but today, it takes 5 seconds to Google the IPA transcription of almost any word in any popular language. Yet despite all this, the Japanese still insist on getting it wrong. "Oczy" becoming "oksi" is especially baffling, as they could have easily transliterated it as "オチ" (o-chi), which is fairly accurate and perfectly pronounceable. Bonus nitpick: in episode 4, the letter Novak was reading was labelled "do ojciec", which literally means "to father", but the noun is in nominative case, not in genitive case. English only has cases for pronouns, so it'd be like writing "for he" instead of "for him". Again, none of this has any negative impact on the quality of the story itself, but it's a bit annoying how little mangaka/anime producers care about getting the small details right, especially when it's so easy to check.
Thank you from France for the reaction !
I really enjoyed Badeni's explanation too.
