The Origins of Project Honor Camo
Wednesday, July 18th, 2012Last week we showed you the new Project Honor Camouflage pattern from LBX Tactical. Taking its name from Project Honor, an awareness and charity program associated with the upcoming Electronic Arts video game title ‘Medal of Honor Warfighter’ you can now see how it was created.
Working with Element Group, they adapted the TF Lion insignia to produce the pattern and went to Duro Textiles for printing. Look for pre-orders later this week of a variety of products in this unique camo pattern.

Counterfeits – It’s Not Just Cut and Sew
Wednesday, July 18th, 2012Over the weekend I visited a Barnes & Noble. Amongst the tchotchke at the checkout was a camouflaged book mark. Upon closer inspection I noticed that it was in the MultiCam pattern.
When I flipped it over I noticed that it had been designed by David Cole Wheeler. I thought that was pretty amazing since I didn’t see his name on the MultiCam patent.
I checked with Crye Precision and they informed me that they did not license the MultiCam pattern to the producer of these bookmarks.
This just goes to show that you never know where you are going to see a knockoff. And, with the US Army Camouflage Improvement Effort afoot, you can imagine that even images of the winning patterns are going to be very lucrative as the market moves to use them in various ways.
