Camo IS the modern day leisure suit.
Hey, I wore a leisure suit in the 70's. 1 year I think.
Wearing camo does make you stand out, as Quigley says.
Relliot andd Slavex, if you guys wear the spandex suits, so will I. It WILL be a sight toi behold!eeeek
I just had a vision of an IPSC match where the required dress is the urban-ghetto pants that sit about 6 inches below your waist with exposed underwear, and everybody is required to shoot gansta-style sideways at the targets. Competitors trying to run and do reloads while the holster and mags are down around their knees from the weight on a belt that's below their waist.
Suddenly a little camo doesn't seem that bad.

For the record, there WAS an IPSC BC GM that used to wear Spandex pants when shooting about 10 years ago. I think those of us in BC that remember that period in our history NEVER WANT TO GO THERE AGAIN.
As for Camo at matches...I'm against it in part. I agree that Camo at one point was fashionable (maybe when mullets were in style) and I don't really have a problem with someone wearing the grey/white camo cargo pants as a last decade fashion statement.
However, fashion is all in moderation. When "pink was the new black" you didn't see people wearing pink pants, pink top and pink hat. Same with Plaid. Someone wearing plaid socks, shorts, shirt and hat is going to look like an idiot.
People wearing full camoflage and tactical "kit" do not present the image that I would like to see at an IPSC match. While I'm not in favour of covering up your tattoos just because they're skulls and daggers instead of teddy bear's with "Mom" written in the middle, I'm also in favour of SOME restrictions on what you can wear at a match.
Personally, I'd go with a "would you wear this to the mall?" mentality for an IPSC match (less the gun belt and earmuffs, of course). We're adults. We should be able to police ourselves with some common sense.

Give me a break! Most everyone that has seen those shirts don't go and figure out the acronym. Do you look for acronyms every where? Everyone that I have pointed it out to have gotten a little chuckle, none were offended. Including the ladies I have seen wearing them.
You know what... I dress the way I want to, not to impress others or to look nice if I happen to get caught on tape. This goes for both IPSC and walking down the street. If my shirt doesn't match my shorts so be it.
Should we all dress up pretty and in new clothes only to look like the sport is for the rich?
Should everyone be a super model? No fat people allowed?
How often does the media really show up at matches?
Before you know it your gun won't be up to snuff. Or maybe it is in an evil black colour?
Perhaps another day should be added to the Black Badge course to cover the dress code and being politically correct.
Now if you have to ban a shirt, ban those Team Dark Side ones. That logo scares me!

OMG! You are teh clevar! You gots a shirt where the furst leddurs spell ****!
Thats teh awesome!!!1!!1!
You walk around with a shirt that says "####", and a cop is gonna tap you on the shoulder, and guys are gonna come up and say "hey man, there are kids in this restaurant". Why do you think your oh-so-clever-funny-and-may-I-say-classy code for "****" is any less retarded?
It's called "being polite". If you don't do it, you don't deserve it.
Sometimes the price you pay for supporting freedom of speech is realizing that some people stopped maturing emotionally at age 12, and still get a childish thrill out of using offensive language any chance they get.
If they get to pretend that it also represents their protesting censorship, so much the better. It's one reason why I turned off the display of signature lines here.

Offesnive language on T Shirts tells me the wearer is just an ignorant moron who didn't get past the first grade. As for pink Camo, go for it. Happy to see ladies out shooting. Helps clean up the language around the range or should.

One of the girls on my crew at work came in wearing some pink camo cargo pants recently. They were pink enough and intense enough to cause slight retinal damage. Makes me wonder though; what could you possibly hope to blend in with wearing those? They might distract an R.O. though......
