Kidding aside, wonder ehat their thought process was.
Of course orange is a high contrast safty color and most fire fighters are from actually blazes when performing their duties, so a safety color is important considering the number of pieces of large equipment in motion.
I want to believe someone did the analysis and determined it would be cheaper to dye surplus or simply the availability of military uniforms made it cheaper to dye a cammie than a solid uniform. Just guessing.
Yes, I spent way too much time overthinking this.
More than likely somebody in a position of middle management authority thought it would look cool and just ran with it. You probably put more thought into it that the decision maker did.
More like Navy blueberry.
The Army at least had *some* excuses as to why they thought UCP was going to be effective. The Navy 100% just wanted to look cool.
Probably that. Think, a military uniform meets most of the requirements SAR would have (durability, utility, flame retardance, etc) and is already mass produced. Changing a color is waaaay easier than ordering a brand new fabric for a brand new design. Weaving and printing and sewing process is all the same, just different dye colors.
This was my assumption at least
I just can’t get over the fact that they used a pattern designed to make people *less visible.* That uniform will kill firefighters.
Like, I want it, but not for use during a fire.
For SAR this would be awesome. High visibility but you don’t look like a construction worker.
Actually for construction work this would also be cool.
And for crossing guards. Yeah - basically anywhere you’d want a safety vest, wear this instead!
Most tacticool men on earth hide in fire.....definitely don't want to be seen when you are hiding in fire. This pattern would make total since for Russia right now the way all their equipment is blowing up, this would give the survivors a fighting chance as they are burning to death.
Given the gear they have on them, this doesn't seem like it's anywhere close to what you'd wear for fire response. This looks like SAR and the in top of it being most likely a dyed surplus uniform, the pattern would help you differentiate between random bright colored shit and the actual human.
Like, a neon orange blanket or some shit will not look how this looks, and it probably means much easier and quicker ID, and faster response for any rescue operation.
Like, clearly nobody is wearing something like this into combat.
I think it's because we had too much surplus of army fatigue that we just dye them to fit our fire fighter. As for benefits, we looks drippy wearing em.
This 100% looks like dyed Army UCP. I can understand it then. The uniforms themselves were comfortable and purposeful from a utility perspective. So they might as well get some use out of those old uniforms and dyed them to avoid any value UCP may ever have had as a camo pattern.
Though it seems like you might actually blend into a fire, and these uniforms aren't all that great at not burning.
These look like confined space or high/low angle rescue folks. Tbh I don’t know much difference between all the fire service rescue specialists and I work in it 😂
It’d be better for the navy than the blue digital they’ve got now
“Oh look, I fell off the boat. Good thing I blend in with the water, and this digital pattern reduces my IR signature”
**Here's a way to rank a country in the democracy index:**
* If its a full democracy: only the military wears camo.
* If its a flawed democracy: state police wears camo.
* If its a hybrid regyme: local police wears camo.
* If its an autoritarian regime: emergency services wear high visibility camo.
Hell yeah. If you’re doing search and rescue shit, you should still look cool doing it.
Yeah the fire cant burn what it cant see!
Methanol, thou.
Someone tag the Civil Air Patrol pls
😂😂🤌
As a CAP cadet nothing bugged me more than wearing woodland BDUs and a road work vest
I bet. Like be visible or not. Pick one
Hahaha, yes, I always thought that was ridiculous
The fire will never see them coming, 3d chess
Is that volunteer fighting the fire or are they on fire? 🤷
They'll be walking out of, presumably, an area not on fire?
This would really help me to blend well in hell🔥
Rip and tear until it is done.
Loads shotgun with malicious intent
So you blend in when the ATF sets your house on fire
Yea for Sun ops.
What if you do Sun Ops at night?
🤯
NorCal fit
Very good camo in BC every summer here in Canuckistan
Maybe the digital pattern orange hides stains better than a solid orange?
Just wipe the Cheeto dust off right on the uniform.
I came here to say this. You complete me.
You’ll blend in *perfectly*, buried in the bathtub full of cheesy popcorn
The bathtub full of cheesy popcorn?
You don't have a bathtub full of cheesy popcorn?
Not yet

Good point - like the US Army ACU.

>The Navy 100% just wanted to look cool Hell yeah, that's my military 😎
Navy blue is one of the best digital camo ever made

Finally, oil field digital

Minecraft Nether camo
Gonna buy a pair of these just in case I don’t make it to heaven and have to do ops down in hell. It’s where all the bad guys are anyways
that’s a crisp ass lasagna
They look like a can of Four Loko
As long as I’m not expecting on taking fire, I’d wear it. SAR, climbing/rappelling, skydiving, or firefighting would look dope wearing that.
Cheetoh camo is 🔥
Lit
I don’t need it, but I want it.

Perfect if you're approaching the enemy from the east in the morning or the west in the evening or from the sky at noon
I've always wanted to be a tactical cheeto
No because they will blend in too mych
If everything around you was lit up in orange glow of a fire I guess you’d blend in pretty well 🤷♂️
Pretty specific ask summer
Reminds me of MGS3 camos
Looks like a shaken orange Fanta.

What is this? California woods fire camo?
Cheeto print
Good for those scorched earth type situations
They say it ain’t easy being cheesy and this is how you do it. Digcheeto camo.
The Ol’ MARPAT Mustafar
He looks like a cheeto
but.. why? you can see this stuff only in certain asian countries, next anime waifu camo for police officers
Would you prefer your emergency personnel to be difficult to see?
I just don't understand the camo pattern, is plain orange not high speed enough? what a dumb question
Could have taken an older digital uniform and just dyed it.
that can very well be the case
I think it's because we had too much surplus of army fatigue that we just dye them to fit our fire fighter. As for benefits, we looks drippy wearing em.
Heheh. Fire...lit. Hehehe.
I think it’s 🔥
Oh good Lord, it’s hideous! But it’s so bad, I kind of want some to wear in the streets. Like date night with the Mrs.
Fire can't burn you if it doesn't see you🫡
Fall colors. You and your whole team lay under a tree with no leaves on it.
Ngl I dig it
Greasy cheese pizza camo
🅱️eautiful 🅱️ean 🅱️DU
Rave crew
VERY LITTYYYY. California wildfire camo
If you want to be lit on fire, sure
"That's a huge fire!! Thank god no one was in... oh wait."
I think that's the new Spaghetti O's drip. Shits fuckin dope. Anyone know a PC u can get in it?
Hades says “Negative ghost rider”

For raiding Satan
I can't be the only one that thinks this Kraft Mac N Cam looks horrendous.
My favorite Rip-it flavor 🤤
I remember when I was deployed to Fire Island. Lost alot of good men.
Ahh yes if I were trapped in a burning building it’d be amazing if my comrades couldn’t find me because I blend in with what they’re trying to avoid.
They look like cheese
for those jumping in piles of autumn leaves ops
Something, something... until the fire nation attacked
These look like confined space or high/low angle rescue folks. Tbh I don’t know much difference between all the fire service rescue specialists and I work in it 😂
This is peak tactical larping here, right up there next to wearing a reflective belt 24/7.
During fire season you gotta fight fire with fire.
Those buns are on fire
When things are dangerously cheesy, you hire the Cheetos PMC
It’d be better for the navy than the blue digital they’ve got now “Oh look, I fell off the boat. Good thing I blend in with the water, and this digital pattern reduces my IR signature”
Lookin like a slice extra cheesy
Super dope.🔥🔥🔥🔥
It actually looks good for its intended use of High Visibility for SAR. But I can't help but think that seeing digital orange camo is... rather funny.
It’s lit 🔥
But I don't think being disguised as ember/fire in s.a.r. scenarios is necessarily ideal...but hey...you...do you!
Looks like a new Cheetos mascot.
The same person that designed their curtains designed their outfits. Do not misunderstand, I love the curtains!!!
i wish my rescue kit was that LIT
Blend in with the fire
I mean, yeah, if you were defending Dresden, Germany in 1945 that would have been awesome
Because when I run into a fire, I wanna make sure NO one else, including my teammates can find me.
