Ok, I've searched and found absolutely nothing. Does anyone have an pics of OD gear on Multicam uniforms? I've come down to a debate between Woodland Digital/Woodland/Multicam. Considering the gear I have, I'd rather go with a camo that uses black (eliminates MC). If anyone has any pics of this it would be greatly appreciated.

BigC used to wear OD over multicam all the time. It looks great. Multicam is funny, if you wear OD, it makes the multicam look more OD, and if you wear tan, it makes it look more tan. Whatever color you wear the most of, it makes that color pop out from the camo. An OD green loadout would look very awesome on mulitcam, I think.

Yep, what Thor said. OD is great for multicam and will be different than about75% of multicam users as most default to tan.

I personally like to wear OD over Multicam as well. Here's a shot from the February 28th game at SFOD's field. www.tech-fanatic.com/DSC_0110.jpg Note: My replica Multicam is a slightly lighter shade than the real deal.

I wear an OD CIRAS over my Multicam. It looks great. But do what you want and what you think looks good.

Thanks for the info. For some reason I was under the impression that OD clashes with MC. I guess mainly because the camo itself looks like it contains more tan than od anyways. Looks like I have a solution to my problem.

OD does just fine with MC but Ranger Green is great with it.

I think I'm going to make some RAID BDU's out of some cheap woodland's.

OD green is actually a bit dark against the Multicam pattern. Since Multicam is all about blending colors and careful mottling, the dark green of OD gear tends to break up the disruptive ideal. The solid color that matches best is Coyote Brown (note, not the much more widely available Coyote Tan) and smoke/ranger green as a close second.
However, coyote brown gear can be difficult to find, and expensive too. OD green is fine until your thinking becomes hardcore and you join the rest of us on Gear Whore Island, where money is no object and having six unique sets of gear and camo isn't considered extreme. Where an $80 pair of green pants sets your heart aflame with desire and where your nightly dreams are filled with Cordura and color-matched side-lock buckles. It's a lonely island, it is.

Yeah, I've decided to stick to woodland bdu or woodland digital due to that. Multicam is too light. I'd prefer something darker and with black in it. Hence my above choices. CB would've been my first choice, but gear is nearly impossible to find in that color. I should hopefully have a test pair of MARPAT cut woodland bdus today.

Try Multicam gear to match the uniform?

If you buy MC gear then you can only use it with MC uniforms which sucks if you go to an op that enforces camo regs(a good thing mind you).
I like Ranger green or Tan.

Try Multicam gear to match the uniform? There's multiple problems with that. A) I don't want to be limited to wearing just MC. B) MC gear is pricey. I don't just play in Michigan so I wear woodland and dcu on occasion.

The solid color that matches best is Coyote Brown (note, not the much more widely available Coyote Tan) and smoke/ranger green as a close second. My MC gear is all pouches on a tan TT vest, and in my humble opinion, it blends quite well. It's only the lighter variants of coyote tan or the reprehensibly ugly camel tan color that won't blend with MC. Bigc, most events that enforce uniform regs are more lenient about the color of load bearing gear. I would have sworn that even the rules for Irene say that your BDU must be three-color desert, but your other gear can be anything reasonably brownish. They just don't want you wearing OD on top of that and making anyone catching a glimpse of your gear thinking you're on the other side. If that's wrong, I pray that someone responds now so I can start putting together a basic tan loadout.
