>US Army 1990s uniforms
Actually there appears to be a few different years of uniforms in that picture. The far left looks like a late 70s US Army Soldier with probably an ERDL Tropical Combat Uniform and an M1 helmet with a matching ERDL cover, while the center appears to be perhaps mid-80s since the usage of the Tropical Combat Trousers with all the newer PASGT gear, and the last is definitely into the early 90s. There's quite a lot of detail in that drawing which makes it actually possible to tell what eras they're all from, which is pretty cool.

I have a weakness for the Black Brunswickers, especially since my family came from New Brunswick.
They're kind of the reason why in Anglo-spheres of culture putting skulls on things is seen as badass.
The uniform of a Napoleonic Freikorps officer looks straight out of Warhammer.
Fun fact: The Lutzow Freikorps wore black because it was made up of various recruits who couldn't afford a standard uniform. So they used black to dye over whatever colored clothes they had, since it was the only color that can actually dye over all other colors.
As a result, the color black became very symbolic of the Freikorps, and so they also wore black during the infamous era after WW1 where they were fighting communists. It could be said that it inspired Hugo Boss's design for the German SS uniform.
>>2251549

The use of steel helmets and body armor by French army engineers against British shrapnel shells was a foreshadow of WWI.

Too bad after WWI their prestige declined sharply as they slowly became little more than a psuedo-Prussian Thugee squad of murdering goons.

Are they using Baker rifles?
>>2252699
Yep, 5/60th rifles. Created before the famous 95th but didn't adopt the baker rifle until 1803, they used Jager Rifles up until that point. Very interesting unit, a lot of "famous facts" about the 95th are wrongly accredited to the 95th and actually came from the 60th.

Until humans no longer use their eyes to see, camouflage is always going to have a place on the modern battlefield.
>>2252917

>>2254855
>people are so quick to parrot single-source bullshit
And you're quick to parrot no-source bullshit, since there's absolutely no sources saying Hugo Boss designed any of the Nazi uniforms.
>>2252924
>then why didn't armies use camouflage before the 20th century?
Because they didn't have smokeless powder, you dumb fuck. Volley fire by musket, and cannon fire alike, puts out a lot of smoke, so they wanted a uniform that could be seen easily so they could identify friend from foe.

Hugo Boss is a person you turd sniffer. He designed the SS uniforms. He was a fashion icon and his brand lives on today.
>>2257573
>Hugo Boss designed the SS uniforms
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Diebitsch
>Karl Diebitsch (3 January 1899 – 6 August 1985) was an artist and the Schutzstaffel (SS) officer responsible for designing much of the SS regalia in the Third Reich, including the chained SS officer's dagger scabbard. Diebitsch worked with graphic designer Walter Heck to draft the well-known all-black SS uniform.
>>2256735

>>2257714

Oh, and just so you're aware, Boss didn't design the uniforms for any of the Wehrmacht, either. Their designs were mostly retained from the Weimar Republic. Boss simply, once again, was given production contracts and forced laborers to produce them.
>>2250999
>leans his rifle on the box pointing at his comrades face
>>2257964
The original poster (me) never claimed Boss designed the uniforms, you are arguing with like three different people.

And you jumped like an autist screaming BUT HE DIDNT DESIGN DA UNIFORMS
>>2254846
Those are actors and models in costumes posing for pictures meant for tourists.
The real Samurai didnt wear armor anymore ever since the latter 1700s. They wore uniform kimonos instead.
>>2258377
Not the anon you are arguing with, but why would you bring up Hugo boss saying he can't be beat if you knew he didn't design the uniforms? If you were talking about the manufacturer of the uniforms instead of the design, doesn't that make you calling someone else autistic seem fucking dumb?

Still absolute garbage compared to the BDU, both in aesthetics and quality.
Another sign of America's inexorable decline as a military power.
We've run the military into the ground so badly since 1991 that I dare say we're only inevitably going to lose the next major war, but that we deserve to lose it as well.
Consider it our punishment for our sins.

Tiger Rifles were certainly aesthetic, but the blue coats meant they were constantly getting friendly fucked by other regiments. The cap was pretty useless too. At least the kepi would shield your face from the sun.

It was basically Americans copying a French uniform the French had themselves copied on Turks
When the French conquered Algeria from the Ottomans, they were stunned by these ugly ass Turkish uniforms (for whatever reason I can't understand) and decided to create a new military unit, Zouves, who would wear Turkish-like uniforms
>>2269909
Fun fact, republican revolutionaries from Brazil (Rio Grande do Sul if you play Vic 2) sourced their uniforms partly from Turkish surplus and later on those pants became traditional garment, albeit simplified versions of them.

I just noticed that one marked 1914 looks a bit odd to be 1914. He does appear to have the M1912 tunic and definitely the M1911 campaign hat, but he has a pre-1910 cartridge belt and has the pre-1910 haversack that hangs from the cartridge belt on his left, along with the bedroll style of carrying the poncho/shelter/blanket which was pre-1910, and also has M1908 leggings. Don't know what they were going for with that.
