What were they thinking?

Apparently, you're supposed to get it dirty and it works really well as a base coat for the dirt to act as the actual camo.
The designer didn't account for COs ordering you to wash your shit.

Apparently the colorings is different in practicality than in concept. mm-14 is what UCP should have been if they didn’t messed up the color scheme.

Probably got paid a lot in bribes and cushy positions after they got out to make this decision.

you know what?
I'm starting to feel like UCP was kinda....sovly...

>>61983518
I agree, acog does have shit eye relief.
>>
>>61983518
I still believe there was some kind of printing/ translation error where the colors were fine on a computer screen but nobody thought to adjust the saturation for the conversion to fabric. And no "just get covered in dirt" is a retarded excuse given how that also applies to a plain white t shirt and literally every uniform ever developed. Another, perhaps less stupid explanation I heard was that the uniforms were supposed to be issued with dyes on a case by case basis so it could be dyed for the relevant environment. Sounds like bullshit but dyed green UCP is legitimately good and I can't imagine tan UCP being a particularly bad desert pattern

Because they are planning warfare in megacities UCP will make a comeback in the old shitty color which is now golden.
Boots will be recolored dark gray

I kinda like how it looks dyed green.

That it looks fine in specific situations and that one size fits all because this is the government and we only shop at Sams Club.

This is the kind of fucking up I expect from Russia.
What went wrong?

Infantry are useless thanks to drones
Therefore infantry camo is useless

Quad Erat Demonstrandum: The only "camo" that matters is what hides drones and counter-drone warfare units from cameras.

This is correct. The colors on the uniform look nothing like the colors selected.

The only part of the entire debacle that wasn't bullshit was the cut and pockets.

But they fucked up with Velcro somehow so yeah.

Still have my pants and getting more for disaster deployment because they basically act like a cheat code to cops and roadblocks during floods. I have no idea why but hey it works.

Some senator/congressman had huge stock in the company that made this shit and fudged the trials to line their own pockets.

ITs a cool pattern. I hope we'll see more companies making gear in in this retro camo.

Army was too prideful to admit that they fucked up ripping off Marpat.
>nuh uh, we actually like it this way
And like a wave of mass psychosis everyone just went along to get along.

tried brown and it turned out pretty good. although it shrank a little bit and I can't snap the flap shut on 2 pmags anymore. not that they were the best fit to begin with though.
>>
>>61989055
Now all I need to see is white dyed UCP and I may have some solid evidence for the dye theory
>>
>>61989093
I don't think you're theory really holds weight since there's labels that say do not attempt to dye but that's not marked on everything

That's funny around me I only see homeless wearing UCP. I wear tigerstripe sometimes though and that has worked the same way for me with cops.

This reminds of when British soldiers dyed their uniform in Afghanistan and it had a weird color.

That's not UCP, that's ABU Digital Tiger which has the same problem and the same fix. Dye it and it works.
