MultiCam Black – But Wait That’s Not All You Get
Coming 11/25/2013
Yes, please!
Well that’s fairly exciting isn’t it?
Lol I agree
Army’s new patterns?
I can tell you 1,000% for sure NO
Then is it Kryptek LEAF, ADS US4CES, or Crayola Brookwood? If you have the answer then please lemme know brother. Although I appreciate Kryptek’s anti-blob effect, right about now I would wear anything other than these UCP ACUs…so spill it man!
so are these the CIE versions, arid, tropic(woodland?) and transitional?
Monday gents, Monday….
Wow. Just like Ktyptek.
“Alpine”?
I need new pants (pun intended).
SSD, is it safe to assume that these will still be the standard Multicam pattern, but just more desert-y for arid, more green for tropic, more white for alpine etc?
I think your logic is likely spot on. I think your probably right in your assertion the black is MC but blackerrrr.
All will be revealed on Monday.
I think Zep is onto something here
Wow… so exciting……… without pictures. 🙁
Well this just made my SHOT schedule a bit more crowded.
and in a few days the first set of Airsoft Knockoffs will start showing up.
I wasn’t excited for the LE pattern (they are usual designed for looks rather than performance.)
Now, this is interesting. I can’t wait to test these patterns out.
I am curious though why they didn’t make a woodland version? They already have a transitional out there and their releasing a arid version. So why not complete the trio? Maybe the tropic version or alpine version will be some kind of hybrid?
The tropic is a woodland pattern.
Technically speaking, yes you are right. However most people consider it a class of it’s own due to the fact that tropical colors are extremely green than compared to other woodland environments.
No, not necessarily. Temperate woodland can be pretty bright green too. Just consider CADPAT TW. Coloured for temperate woodland – Canadian forests used for the colour palette – but works pretty well in tropical jungle too.
In my experience multicam and mtp outperformed cadpat tw in the jungle. While I’m sure cadpat tw fares better in the lab, when you’re operating in the jungle you are soaked within minutes and cadpat turns almost black when wet.
I wouldn’t be suprised if the new schemes differ in more than just the coloration. Crye isn’t known for half measures.
Do you not recall “AMP”, the only slightly vaguely Aussie camo?

Pretty sure you could have found that on Soldier Systems
MultiCam…Am I wrong, if I think that, multicam should be the only one pattern to be multifunctional camouflag?
Recouping investment in a US Army solicited waste of time/money?
At any rate, I am pro-Multicam and am very interested in the new stuff.
Ooooohhhh…….let’s sell four times as much product because Lord knows the US Army needs to buy four different plate carriers for every soldier!!!!
You do understand that what you said makes absolutely no sense and has zero basis in fact, right?
HAHAHA zig pow
LOL
“…what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. ”
“Okay, a simple “wrong” would’ve done just fine”
SSD, Thanks for the Billy Madison flashback. Haha
Alpine =snow Multicam? Just in time for winter.
Perhaps, but that would be misleading naming. The backdrop of an alpine environment (usually) isn’t that much different from other open environments *when* snow covered. In snowless conditions, however, the color and pattern can be distinctive, and there are several ‘mountain’ camouflage patterns available already for snowless conditions.
Said some choice words when I saw this in excitment and now my commander knows I was not working… thanks for the updates SSD!
US4CES. ADS, please followup and beat your competitors with the best(*) pattern.
(*) Just ask Cramer, and he’ll tell you this 😛
I see a tactical vest and I want it painted black…
Now that’s funny…
Can’t wait to see the Alpine and to argue with my wife about why I must have a set to prepare for the winter zompocalypse. The little joys of life abound.
Hell, it’s about time.
Next year: Multicam Burberry, Multicam Tartan, Multicam Louis Vuitton…
I see they are on the foot-heels of A-TACS now. What happened to one pattern for everything???? Not working out for you huh?
There’s a huge difference between multi terrain as in multicam and universal as in UCP you know…
Oh geez golly I can’t wait! (said whilst rubbing my hands and bouncing up and down like Flounder from Animal House)
The Alpine name makes me think of the old, red, Swiss Alpenflage.
I don’t think Crye would go that way with it, though.
In case you guys can’t wait to see the multicam black – found it! Check this out:

They removed those items from the website. They probably got in trouble with Tru-Spec or Crye (or both).
Very much looking forward to the Woodland/Tropic Multicam, I always wondered how that would look since I always thought Multicam on its own was at best a transitional pattern that didn’t work everywhere despite working in many places.
Now, this has been a bit of an ironic moment for sure, one I get a kick out of for a few reasons:
1.) Everybody that jumped on the cool train and decked themselves out in multicam head to toe is gonna find it difficult to sell that “plain old multicam” stuff for a profit when those applicable want to replace it with the shiny new multicam pattern that better suits their AO/surroundings more than regular transitional multicam does.
2.) Mr. SSD droned on forever/ad nauseum about how multicam was the end-all-be-all perfect camo pattern for the army and how they didn’t need region specific camo color patterns and (summarily) “told ya so!” when the army formally adopted multicam as their pattern. When I found out about this, I couldn’t help but wonder how he reacted to the news of various region specifc multicam patterns coming out.
He’s known about this for quite some time and has encouraged Crye to release the patterns to the public. Apparently, you didn’t understand the argument against area specific patterns for an Army as large as ours. It is logistical in nature, not tactical.
I understood the logistical aspect.
So, let me get this straight. Multicam, is not so “multi” anymore? I get the alpine, which I’m assuming is mostly white. I’ve seen the black, and it’s pointless. But what about the Arid and Tropic? I mean, isn’t that what the Marine Corps already has, and what the military has had for 30 years? Woodland and Desert BDU’s anyone? I like Multicam simply because it works well in most environments. And coupled with coyote deuce gear, you can have one ensemble for most environments.
This all seems like a marketing gimmick to play of the of newfound Official Army pattern.
Woodland and DCU are outdated patterns by todays standards, in the visible spectrum and NIR. Any modern military should move beyond those patterns. MARPAT, while a great pattern in visible (daylight) is an underperformer in the NIR. There are also better patterns than MARPAT in both arid and woodland that also perform better in NIR. You should browse the archives and read a lot of the stuff Guy Cramer has posted to get a better understanding of how we got to where we are today.
I guess they’ll show something at close of business today? Still waiting….
My torch and pitchfork are at the ready…….
And I with my machete and bacardi rum bottle are right behind ya! Long live Crayola’s Brookwood Patterns! Hazzah!
