dye c5 jerseys

[elpimpo]

well as we all know nppl had multiple problems with the c4's for massive over padding, well dye got away from that and the new c5's look to be wiper jerseys. i was looking at them at the commanders cup and they are super slick on the forearms and the chest. whats with dye making these cheater clothing...

Dye makes it because people will pay that extra little bit to have that extra little advantage on the field, albeit illegal.

Somewhat related, because I do play in character alot (Lorrd Gabriel the Jacob, galiant leader of the Knights of the Old Spyder) I was thinking about orederings somethings called a Gambeson, it was worn under chain mail to keep bits of metal out of wounsd if the mail was pierced by a sword or arrow. Anyways, the problem was, when running the idea by one of my buddies, he up and accuses me of planning to cheat! sure these things have alittle bit of padding, but I am not buying it to help with bounce. I think alot of players are overly sensitive as a general rule of thumb. Dye does cross the line time and time again, but in general I also think the players like to cry wolf alittle too much. I mean, if I were to were this thing under my surcoat, it wouldnt make a difference at all! The surcoat is waaaay too loose to even think about caring about padding. Just food for thought. Do you think if I showed up to an AO event in costume I would be called for cheating?

its a jersey.
buy it if you like it, dont buy it if you dont like it.
i am a dye whore, i will buy dye stuff even if it says "i cheat" on the back. if anyone thinks someone is cheating just because they wear a dye jersey needs to get reality check. if you dont break a ball on me because of my jersey you need to improve your shooting skills.

Paintball is going downhill if companies intentionally make apparel to give an edge at cheating. The new Dye stuff is hideous, gets worse and worse.

The only reason the companies will make it is because the people will buy it. The reason paintball is going downhill is because the people are willing to cheat with and a lot of those people are willing to pay $15 more to help them get that cheating easier. If the people wouldn't cheat the companies wouln't make things to help them since noone would buy it. It's not the companies fault they just make what people will buy.

there is little, if not equal too, more padding than last years jerseys. just on the shoulders and elbows. i guess we need to ban elbow pads and knee pads too right? lets start using jeans or bdus for all series of play.

You mean my $60?? (havent checked) jersey might have some reason beyond it looks cool to buy

Actually, though I own dye gear to be cool (yeh, so I leave it sitting by my gear yeh Im ) I normally play in jeans.. and those get plenty of bounces

not entirely true, mabey 2 weeks ago, i was playing a guy with all DYE stuff (which was super padded). He had been getting bounces all day, so, i get in a bunker parallel with his (he is in his 30, i am in his 30 on the opposite side of field) from there I put ~15 balls on him, and NONE of them broke, i was shooting X ball paint that had been breaking really well, anything not breaking from that distance with that many shots is rediculious. (that dosent stop me from wearing C4 stuff )

[phantomhitman]

i will be the first to admit you do get those lucky bounces every once in a while, but most of the time when i get shot there will be 3-4 balls placed somewhere that do break. just dont shoot the knee pads, or elbow pads.

[elpimpo]

im not talking about bounce im talking about the super slick and absorbant nature of the material they use on the biceps and chest

[MayAMonkeyBeYourPinata]

I prefer to just spray my jersey with PAM.

It is cheaper than buying a C5 and just as effective.

[phantomhitman]

the jersey is made a a smooth mesh material just like any other sports jersey. it is not absorbant at all, but it is slick. it is just as easy to wipe as anything else i am assuming. wiping is stupid anyways, but tha is another arguement.

[elpimpo]

scotch guard is better than pam.... and the material on the arms and chest is slicker than any material that i have ever seen and im at every nppl event so i think ive seen um all

[TeamNausea]

In ACES (local series) c5's are banned.
