I don't think the Cobras were ever supposed dress very practically. Only a few of the troop types have any kind of serious camo. And even Snow Serpents wear blue alongside teh white.
As for the Joes, I never thought yellow was a good military color - Lightfood, Airtight, and Scoop all would look better in tan instead. And then you have guys in yellow pants, like Capt. Grid Iron and the second version of Grunt. And sure Charbroil is a flamethrower guy, but he doesn't have to wear orange. Scarlet looks like she works in a circus, and Jinx's red outfit never did it for me either. |

I never understood why people had problems with Gung Ho's uniform. yeah, it would be better if it were dark green instead of light blue, but the vest with no shirt on is a very common sight when you look at old pictures from the Viet Nam War.

To get reference material for my Mobat custom, I scoured Google for pictures of soldiers, Marines, tanks, outposts, etc during the Vietnam War and was amazed that a lot of the 82-85 Joes/Vehicles got their influences from there. (I know that was the point, Hama was in 'Nam and Rudat was into military history.) Then after 85 Joe went in a different direction.

All great examples of odd choices of gear and clothing, I completely missed the comics side of it.

Airtight's outfit is based on HAZMAT suits though, which are often white, yellow or orange...

also if you understand the meaning of "Salty Cammies" you will have no problem with the color. I have seen a hand full of Marine that had almost blue BDUs
