Space Force unveils service uniforms with camouflage design [View all]

Source: The Hill

The U.S. Space Force (USSF) late Friday unveiled camouflage uniforms bearing the branch's first nametapes for its members.

"The first #SpaceForce utility uniform nametapes have touched down in the Pentagon," the service branch tweeted from its official account, attaching a photo of the uniforms.

The uniforms were welcomed with praise by some, including the official Twitter account for the U.S. Navy, which called the clothing "out of this world" in a tweet. "What are the coordinates? Let's trade," the military branch added.

However, some social media users seized on the opportunity to mock the uniforms, asking questions like, "Why do we need camo in space?"
