Just Two Days Left to Enter the Camo Contest
Wednesday, April 13th, 2011Camo Design Contest
Friday, April 8th, 2011The Schtick
We feel we’ve waited long enough for the Army to release their Camouflage Improvement Effort solicitation so we thought we’d get things cooking with a little camo contest. The idea is this. You design a new, original camo pattern and send it to SSD (Don’t submit somebodyelse’s work). On 15 April we collect all of the patterns, and over the weekend, post them as a poll to allow you, the readers to vote on your favorite pattern. Every original pattern that is submitted will be posted in the poll. Submissions are due 15 April so this gives you one week to develop your pattern and submit it.
To the winner goes the spoils!
SSD sponsor, GSS has generously offered a $500 gift card to the winner. If that doesn’t motivate you to participate, we don’t know what will.
The rules are simple
1. You must own the pattern you submit, it just has to be a camo pattern, and can be for any environment but remember, the winner will be chosen by a vote of SSD readers (cool is king here)
2. You must submit it in .jpg format but we don’t care if you do it on the computer, draw it by hand, stencil it with krylon, or even finger paint it; Just make sure we get it in .jpg format
3. We just want the pattern by itself, not applied to something
4. Make it as big as you want to show your pattern. We aren’t printing it on fabric so it doesn’t matter how long the pattern is or if it repeats
5. The submission phase of the contest closes at 1200 GMT on 15 April, 2011
6. Submit your pattern to camo@soldiersystems.net
7. You must be 18 to enter
8. Void where prohibited
9. Neither Soldier Systems Daily or GSS are responsible for improper entries or entries that violate other’s IP, nor are they responsible for the outcome of the poll used to determine the winner
10. One entry per person
By entering you retain all rights to the design but you give rights to GSS and SSD to use the pattern for promotional purposes.

OSU Buckeyes to Don Camo Helmets
Sunday, April 3rd, 2011The Ohio State University football squad will be sporting Pixelated Camouflage helmets in their upcoming April 23 home game to honor the US military. After that, half will go back to their normal color Silver scheme, while some will be autographed by Jim Tressel and sold, with all the proceeds going to benefit the Ohio National Guard Family Readiness and Warrior Support Program, LiFE (Learning in Fitness & Education) through Sports Program and the Ruth and Jesse Owens Scholars Fund.
With their orange scarlet stripe down the middle, ya gotta admit, they look kind of like an Air Force guy wearing a disco belt.
Camo Improvement Effort Solicitation Delayed…Again
Friday, April 1st, 2011It’s official. We received word this afternoon from those close to the program that the solicitation has been delayed due to scheduling conflicts related to briefing key Army decision makers. We still expect the solicitation to be released very soon. In fact, it could go very soon as a decision based on a paper copy of the briefing may be reached over the weekend.
US Army Camo Improvement Effort NOT Cancelled
Friday, April 1st, 2011Chalk it up to an internet April Fools prank, but the murmurs now circulating that the Army has canceled the Camouflage Improvement Effort solicitation are FALSE. The solicitation has NOT been canceled. We still expect the solicitation to be released, even if it is not today for some reason.
Will It Be Released, Or Not?
Friday, April 1st, 2011According to PEO Soldier, we should expect to see the Army Camouflage Improvement Effort Solicitation released sometime today. It had been delayed twice due to staffing issues. This is a project that is being briefed all the way up to the Secretary of the Army so there can be delays along the way due to scheduling conflicts. It’s to be expected. The original time line briefed at the Industry Day was very aggressive so it comes as no surprise to see some slip. Whether it is released today or not, don’t let these slight pauses lead you to believe that this thing has lost steam. You can be assured that, as soon as we have word it is out, we will let you know.
