Gnomes Paint Shop has these "French army hats," for sale,
I planned on getting a few for the beret wearing JOEs. One of the things that I was going to do was have JOE eagle water slides made and put that on the beret. I wanted advice on what color the beret should be. I really like the black beret, but the thing is the black is the color of the Army's standard issue beret and I really didn't want to use a color was already in use by another Army unit. Off topic, how did the Rangers feel about their their black berets being taken from them to be used by the Army at large? If you ask me it was very disrespectful to the Rangers, their history and tradition. I mean the Army would never take away the Special Forces green berets to be used as standard issue for every soldier. If a color was needed the Army should have went with blue, but forgive my digression. I was thinking going with either gold or this shade of green on the JOE flag. What do you guys think?

They wore a Raspberry beret.
The kind you find in a second hand store. |

Just a heads up (no pun intended) the joe berets are different sizes.

Well, Beachhead has a red beret, so maybe that color?

The Rangers were reportedly furious about their black berets being taken from them.
I'd say Commando green to differentiate from the Hunter's green of the US Army Special Forces. |

No berets for me. There are Marines, SeALs, and all types in G.I. Joe, and I like the lack of uniformity.

As a former Ranger, there was a lot of fury once the regular Army adopted the black beret. However, earning the tan beret today is a recognition or pride and espirit de corps. With regards to Joes, anything flies. Stalker is a Ranger with a green beret. Beachhead is a Ranger with a red beret, a designation of an airborne unit. So really, whatever floats your boat in your personal Joeverse. Rangers Lead the Way!
