About

Camo Space Force Uniforms refer to the reveal of the first designs for the uniforms of the United States Space Force. The uniforms were mocked online due to their camouflage pattern, as camouflage pattern has been historically used to make it difficult to spot soldiers in wooded and green areas.

Origin

On January 17th, 2020, the United States Space Force^[1] revealed the uniform designs for the new branch of the American military. The uniforms featured a camouflage design (shown below).

Spread

The uniforms were quickly mocked online as people pointed out that the camouflage pattern would serve no tactical advantage in space, where there are no trees or green areas. User @AlexWhite1812^[2] sarcastically tweeted "Space camouflage, to blend in on the great plains of Space," gaining over 620 retweets and 4,700 likes (shown below, left). Adam Serwer^[3] joked, "Are they being deployed to Endor?", referencing the wooded planet from Star Wars, gaining over 2,300 retweets and 14,000 likes (shown below, right).

Others imagined various other designs that would be more appropriate if one wanted to be camouflaged in space. Twitter user @OhNoSheTwitnt^[6] posted a picture of leggings with a starry design, gaining over 150 retweets and 2,200 likes (shown below, left). User @EJL1984^[7] tweeted a picture of a shirt with a star design, gaining over 460 retweets and 7,700 likes (shown below, right). The jokes were covered in a Twitter Events^[4] page and by the Daily Dot.^[5]
