I got it.

Finius Super Moderator? Pah! Finius can suck a big one.

With regard to the actual topic though, I have to agree with Ian, I liked his post before realising that the photo he'd said that about, wasn't the one I saw, since you updated the link.

I can't imagine how the original link must've looked, 'cos I'd still agree with what Ian said about the new one.

The team I play with, Team Bacon, distinguish themselves by always wearing bright Hawaiian shirts (and recently banana suits) just to prove the point that you can enjoy airsoft (and beat other teams) no matter what you wear. It's all about the fun. That said, I can't bring myself to do it, so I wear OD and black and have a chest rig, as a result I'm considered a 'geardo' by the rest of the team.

 
I don't mind looking a right bell-end occasionally, but I'm fcuked if i'm gonna pay £100 to do it!

It was a crappy red t-shirt with some japanese writing and a picture of char aznable next to it.

Great for everyday wear but not actual cosplay/airsoft material.

 
Well there was a list of stuff, amongst which was the bell-end suit. I assumed that the T-shirt couldn't be the point - i mean cosplay needs more than a T-shirt, right?

 
I don't remember the other things but yeah a t-shirt isn't cosplay.

 
Wear what you want. Don't care about what other people think. As for the person who posted that some sites won't like it... Dream on kid, since when do airsoft sites worry about what their customers wear.

Coldy

 
I would crap myself laughing when someone wearing that suit fell into a muddy ditch and the cheap stitching holding it all together came apart.

Some sites care about the realism and go as far as banning two tones. If they do that I can't see them wanting people playing whilst dressing as a power ranger.Dream on kid.

Quite a few sites actually... its not that they will ban you its that it will be frowned upon and they may even ask you try to dress more "appropriately" in the future. While I know this isn't the majority there are a few with a more milsim inclination that may very well take this stance. Its the same with two-tone guns. Many sites ask that you tape up your guns not to ruin the experience for other players.

and also what Marcus said.. (damn ninja post)

If I were you I'd save the costume for a Halloween or Christmas game

 
I'll also vouch for the concept of knowing that some sites aren't too happy about you not milsimming it up. I think that's the very reason why Team Bacon go there in Hawaiian shirts though...

Long shot sounds like they need to see Shiteshirts http://www.shiteshirts.com/? £35 for a shirt of their design, all you get to choose is the size. I've thought about one for an urban/cqb loadout.

As for the original subject, go for it if it makes you feel better, I've seen plenty of people in outfits outside of the normal Camo but they tend to be at dedicated games, eg, 50 santas for a Christmas special. Hawaiian shirts for a Columbian druglords vs USSF. Or where's wally, the stag on his stag do. But perhaps its for somewhere you know well and would take it positively. Two of my regular sites wouldn't give two hoots about it, you'd get the piss ripped out of you in one though. The third company would prob have a bout of humour failure as they have a blanket ban on any 2 tone or ex 2 tone guns.

 
they have banned ex 2 toned guns?how does that work?whilst i can understand for certain apecial days etc as a general rule i dislike that tbh.

course i am working still on my umberella corp loadout so couldnt give 2 hoots, and i know of others with similar loads etc.

 
Because the law isnt hugely clear, assuming im thinking of the same chain of sites, they dont want anything that's even close to a grey area taking part at their venues (such as manufacturing an rif)- which is fair enough I guess.

 
yea but how hard is it to tell that a gun is ex 2 toned at times? would be interested to see them enforcing that well(im guessing they go by looking at the guns, what looks dogy(scratched to bright colours/taped over etc) and work from there but still, some times you cant tell the difference...

 
Ive always wanted to go airsofting dressed like this

I'd just run around all day with a sword and one of them flintlock pistols shouting "Yew Bluddy fooool man" at every given opportunity

I originally wanted to go as a 19th century british soldier but even replica costumes of that are like 300+.

 
Get someone you know to make one or do it yourself, the plans and genuine materials are available online and a shako will probably set you back about 40 squids
