I think it's GTG. |

I would like to see a test against Multicam. I think this would fare pretty well. It seems that many of the guys one here automatically assume that Multicam is the greatest thing because it is the newest piece of gucci gear.
EDIT: Having been in all sorts of areas in Iraq-including some of the lusher areas, I think that uniform would do well. |

I don't have a side-by-side, but here's a little of both from the current test: UCP-Delta: 
Multi-Cam:

Been done...the Army already proved the MC was by far better...but someone decided to go UCP-pixelated since it looked cool (I guess). All those tax $ to develop MC and then they sidelined it. |

It will suck in any area that's green like the farm fields. But its better than ACU that sucked everywhere. No shit. You can see both in this pic: http://i45.tinypic.com/dnydz7.jpg the UCP-D one has just been rolling around in the dirt while the UCP one is sparkling clean |

So nows there is UCP that worked in urban desert in Iraq and UCP-D that works in Afgan.
What is "universal" about it? Are they going to just issue UCP-D and stop UCP or are they going to have 2 patterns and void that whole thing about not having 2 patterns of uniforms? |

Waste of money, time, and resources. There are multiple options available that are better or equal to UCP-Delta in more environments and are already readily available and implemented. If its already available and better than what we have means that it will never be used and will have to spend money developing something that is similar. By the time it does become available, it will be 6 months later that name tapes and rank will be available in matching pattern. EDIT: Reminds me of the one photo with the bunny rabbit. Bunny still beats ACUs |

Looking at this pic, it's a little mind-blowing that UCP got chosen at all. All of those look better! Before picking it, did anyone look at it, you know, outside?
