Can someone please explain pink camoflauge to me?
I saw someone this morning with pink camo pants on. What enviornment was she trying to blend into?

It is the same as pink skulls- being trendy and retaining the feminine.
Shhhh….she is a spy in Stepford.
I personally take a very strong stand against camo on anyone other than soldiers in the US military. Seeing camo in different colors only heightens my dislike.
@SuperMouse – Personally, and as a US Air Force member, I don’t mind it. We (all branches) have new patterns anyways, and so it tends not to bother me much. It’s not much of a similarity problem, since actual uniformed service members have a very distinct look. SWAT team members are also known to utilize camouflage as needed for their operations.
Also, don’t count out military members of other countries… there are plenty that we cooperate with! ;-)
Maybe she was trying to blend in so she could rob a candy store?
@dUc0N I never actually thought of it from the perspective of what soldiers think of seeing civilians in camo! I’m not sure why but it just grates on me to see people using it as a fashion statement. You’re right about SWAT teams and foreign soldiers, I probably should have said that I don’t like seeing it on anyone who doesn’t require its use for their occupation.
Hmmm…perhaps…she’d been in a Pepto Bismol commercial recently? haha :)
@SuperMouse – Hey, no worries… I just saw an opportunity to speak as “that guy in the camo” and spoke up. =-D
Just the thought of it makes me nauseous.
(I see that one of my favorite Jellies is ‘bout ready to hit the 10K mark. :))
They are uniformed escapees from fashion police jail.
Her enemy must be in the Barbie doll section of “Toys-R-Us”?!!
building on @kevbo‘s answer, it makes it easier for the fashion police to identify the perpetrators of fashion faux pas.
Please tell me this was on a child under 2 years old.
@Dog It’s also the same as pink football jerseys. A real fan will only wear team colors.
She’s hunting flamingos, duh.
@Sarcasm… or she not-so-secretly wishes to be one.
@Allie easy way to figure it out. Tinyfaery, was she standing on one leg when you saw her in pink?
@Allie I guess that hunters wear camo too, but since I am opposed to hunting I can’t behind camo for it.
Trying to hide in Barbie’s Dream House?
@dUc0N Have you seen the Navy’s new cammies? I think its become more of a fashion thing (I thought it was so funny when I discovered the Marines have seasonal attire), because who really wants to blend into water?
I’m a brand new Marine wife, btw, and I have no idea if I spelled cammies right.
As for the pink camouflage, I think its just a fashion thing, like wearing leopard print.
the fad of the moment. it’s like wearing a pink and white chicago cubs cap when we all know what the real colors of the team are. it’s a fashion statement that says “i want to be different and wear colors that i like.”
It’ll be handy if you ever find yourself in a cotton candy forest.
For everyone who said it’s some sort of fashion statement: For me, the statement these people are making is “I really have no idea what fashion is, so let me just grab the ugliest thing in the color I like most off the rack.”
Because really, if you have any sort of fashion sense…you’d simply know better than that!
@Sarcasm I LOVE Charlie the Unicorn! xD
especially the one where they wind up underwater and some random starfish is in love with him, hahaha! It’s completely random and stupid, yet dangerously addictive…
bah, it’s clothing, I’m sure you look ridiculous in her eyes too, it’s all just perspective really, can’t really bash any one for their specific/unique tastes.
I didn’t bash anyone. I asked for an explaination.
@chyna It was a woman around 40.
@tinyfaery I think @ABoyNamedBoobs03 was probably talking to me? I did bash them a bit but he has a good point actually…I feel a little enlightened…although I’d still never wear something like that because in my eyes it’s just unattractive..
@dee1313 I think so… the uber-dark ones, right? Black and blue?
Air Force went with a pixelized tigerstripe that’s tan, pale green, and “slate blue.” The idea for us is to blend in to a wide variety of environments, without needing 4 different uniforms. The Marines, on the other hand, spend a lot more face time with the enemy than we do, so I’m pretty content that theirs are a bit better fine-tuned.
lol I’m not really speaking to anyone in specific, just generality for the sake of getting a point across, lol sorry if I wasn’t clear.
@Chongalicious – I get what you mean about fashion… it reminds me (loud, badly colored camouflage) of those obnoxious printed pants everyone used to wear in the 80s. (Yes… me too… I had like three pairs when I was a midget.)
@dUc0N haha really? Well, I actually don’t blame you…everything back in the 80’s was a fad lol. Did you used to see people wearing parachute pants?? I know my dad used to wear them..ick! haha
@Chongalicious – No, but I was at a training seminar at U Maryland and their campus cafeteria dude was wearing pretty much the raddest pants EVAR. Looked like he had an epileptic fit while painting a building, and then got attacked by third graders armed with spirographs and bedazzlers.
@dUc0N WOW! that’s a pretty awesome story =D ahh wish I could’ve been alive to see it lol
Sorry, I wouldn’t even notice such a thing.
I looked it up an google and was surprised at all the entries under pink camoflage clothing. It’s quite an eye opener.
Perhaps she wanted to blend with pepto bismol. I think it’s cute even though it’s utterly pointless!
Ok bad quality, but this was the only clip of this I could find on youtube, from Sacha Baron Cohen’s film: Ali G in da house, taking the piss out of crazy camouflage.

Oh barf. I seriously dislike pink camo pants or the pattern in general. Someone mentioned it on here, unless you are 2, there is no excuse. It’s like pink tools. No thank you. Give me my DeWalt, Makita, Black & Decker and Craftsman tools…in their normal colors and I’m just fine. I don’t need to be reminded that I am a woman, nor do others need reminding.
Believe me, I’m all woman. I’m just handy, too. ;~)
On the note of seeing civilians in armed forces gear, when I was a lifeguard a lot of teenyboppers thought it was oh-so-cool to wear those “Abercrombie Lifeguard” shirts and the like to the pool. Especially the ones with the big red cross on the front…Until someone approached them for a band-aid, or worse, CPR!
So maybe the pink camoflauge is a way to say, “It’s like I’m wearing army gear, but at the same time it’s totally obvious that I’m not actually in the army!”
@EmilyNathon – And probably a good thing, too. A girl that arrived at basic training the same night as I did made the sad mistake of showing up in black, very wide (think Jncos) jeans with pink zippers all over. For the first two weeks, she was “you with the pants.” In one place where you do not want to draw attention to yourself.
Don’t you f^%# with me or I’LL BLOW YOUR F%$@#$^ HEAD OFF!!!!! Tee-hee-hee!! ::bats lashes:: So, we’re going to the mall now, right?
She is a Store Detective for a “Hello Kitty” store…..
The people who wear pink cammies as regular wear ( not in military and not hunters) are the same type that buy big pretty 4WD SUVs. It is not about function- it is about image.
@Dog you are so right! My ex-SIL has a giant SUV with “Pink Princess” written all over it and even on the license plate! She is a huge fan of the pink camo! You could very well have seen her driving around town!
Only persons serving in the military may wear camouflage in Trinidad and Tobago. It’s in the Defence Act. I wonder if this applies to pink camouflage, which I rather like.
I haven’t read any of the answers after the first two, and I haven’t the patience (omg, my head hurts, guys) but here is the answer: People who wear pink camo are trying to make a statement, saying “I am hardc0re but still girly!”
its to blend into a Victoria’s Secret of course…
My daughter calls pink camouflage “tacky”. I like it, and would wear a jacket in it. But then, my taste in clothes is what my daughter (again) calls “cosquelle” a French patois word meaning weird.
