Anyone know if a Sunset fade is considered illegal, since it has some orange in it?

Where orange is a protected color that is not going to fly. Very few places protect a color any longer

Best bet is to contact the promotor of the event or series you are planing on playing in and ask them. Some series like the NPPL still have color bans or white and I believe oringe jersies but others do not. Just check in with them and they can tell you. If you email them, send a pic of the marker as well, that way there will be no question about colors.

Because if you took say, a Planet Eclipse distortion (wonder where they got that name) jersey in blue to an event that shot blue paint it would be very hard to see it. Or simply wore a white t-shirt to an event shooting white. Because some people actually carried several jerseys with them to match an event paint series started "protecting" colors and reserving them as the paint color, no equipment / jerseys were allowed to have it.

That's what pink fill is for. Anyone who wants to hid paint marks has to look like a retard first.

Back in "the day" (I think it was a thursday)
Pink was a very hot color to have on the field.

Notice the pink PGP in the middle...

Let's not forget that Pink is an illegal fill color for the NPPL too :rolleyes:

And that pink PGP is very very nice....

i fricking love that cyborg. and the other 2 brothers it has in the original thread.



and it seems nppl/psp/whatever doesnt seem as strict with the paint rules as they were when they first came out. so to tell the truth, it depends on the tournament, and the field i guess.

what was his question?

aww, its okay http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v463/t33kyboy/_headpat__by_adamguest1985.gif

FYI, pink seems to be popular in paintball, and its not like a color can be retarded.

oh, and rob, NEPL has protected colors too. remember, at birch hill NEPL one of the refs yelled at joey for his pink bandana... i wouldnt risk the sunset fade.

Don’t sweat it kid. Some of the residents haven’t had a bowel movement in quite some time so they tend to get cranky. :cuss:

Not only that, pink is a popular colour here. A real man, confident in his masculinity, has no problem wearing pink women’s underwear… :p

if by bowel movement you mean an AO day, then yes, thats the reason we are cranky
