I actually debated with myself for quite a bit over what colour to use for Flint's beret. I've always wanted to see him with a proper green beret to match his SF background, but there was also a big part of me that wanted to keep the black beret out of faithfulness to the original design. The rationalization for the black beret being that most SF operators don't wear their green berets in the field anyway (if they have to wear a beret, most simply wear the Army-standard black beret with a "subdued" SFG flash so that they can blend in better with conventional forces). But if I went in that direction, then I'd probably give Falcon a black beret as well, just for consistency's sake (I'm really anal-retentive about certain things
), and that would just look odd. In the end, I went with giving Flint a green beret, seeing as how my interpretation has retained enough of the original's elements, I think, that it's still unmistakably him.
