replace the ACU digital camo hats with the multicam/OCP pattern. The ACU pattern is the Army's worst camo ever created and all Soldiers disdain that pattern.



Multi-Cam

I think I need to see them both on a fat dude with dip in his mouth and a big Johnson/larry the cable guy shirt first before a decision can be made.

It's amazing. The camo on the bottom one is so good it makes the bill completely disappear.

The top pattern has to do with how the eyes and brain work in determining natural patterns. Studies have shown that unnatural shapes like rectangles are harder for the brain to seek in a natural setting and thus the 'new' pattern. Of course this was 20 years ago and I haven't kept up. Point being that there's a reason the military went that route and it wasn't to impress the entitled football recruits.

That and with the advent of digital imaging the smooth lines of the multi camo actually became more conspicuous when viewed remotely

It's wonderful...





There's a reason the Army has been issuing multicam for years and is completely transitioning from the digital pattern in the next 2 years.

UCP performed demonstrably worse in every test (including satellite imagery, for the other guy up there) than every other pattern the Army tested when it changed from woodland camo (including UCP's brother, UCP-Delta). The ACU pattern was not chosen because anyone thought it would be more effective. They even started some urban legend idiocy about black not existing in nature.

I was debating this with some of my peers. I prefer Woodland CAMO but apparently multi-cam is better because it doesn't have black blotches....which is said not exist in nature. Haha

I thought we decided that you shouldn't care what another man wears on the cargo shorts thread? Are we changing that this week? I can't keep up.

It's not necessarily that it doesn't "exist" but that it isn't as prevalent. That said, multi-cam does seem to be much better compared to Woodland or ACU.

they are staged pictures purposely taken in places that match the pattern. you could do that with desert pattern, woodland pattern, snow pattern, etc.

except for ACU pattern. it sucks everywhere.

All true, but it's been my personal experience multicam blends in better, & across a broader array of enviorments than any other pattern.

Wouldn't it really just matter based on what your surrounding looks like....and different patterns would be better in different environments?

fair. but it's been in MY personal experience, that after a day or two in the field, pretty much all cammies turn the same color anyways.

except for ACU pattern. it sucks everywhere.

I think we should use the Belgium pattern so we can blend in with a Berry field


FWIW, OCP is better in our current battle space (Afghanistan) than ACU. The Army is already transitioning away from ACU, so why can't AO?

Of course multi cams company image will look incredible. But yes multi cam is better for our current AO. The Army is actually working on a jungle pattern and testing it in HI as we speak.

All that is great, however; it diesn't mean it isn't butt ugly?
