We need a new style for paintball

[usagi_tetsu]

Years ago, me and a few Kansas City flingers formed up a team to play in the Mardi Gras Open as the Fighting Elvii. Unfortunately (or fortunately, however you want to look at it) we never made it to the event, much less bought the suits, wigs, and shoes for it. We had even been practicing the months before by doing our best Elvis impersonations while playing on the field.

Uh-huh, thank you, a thank you very much. (when we've marked someone out)

Elvis Usagi has left the field! (when we got marked out)

Getting me a peanut-butter and banana sandwich. (reloading)

Hey ref, do I have some paint on my blue-suede shoes? (calling for a paintcheck)


Yeah, why doesn't anyone do stuff like that anymore? Okay, I've seen some odd costumes in the pump videos on YouTube, and all over the scenario scene (even though that's starting to die out in favor of this mil-sim BS... wanna look like a soldier? join the Army!) but no one does it in the "professional" leagues anymore. *sigh*

I say kilt and highlander tunic! Show the agg kiddies that you're not afraid of their ramped up 280 fps painting hoses .

I agree kilt and no underwear like a true SCOT.

OH NOES!
I HAVE INCORRECTLY SPELLED A WORD!

It was a joke, douchebag.

I have two I want to try out. First I want to play one day wearing a paper bag over my head, might limit the visibility but who cares when you look that good.

Seriously though I want to get either a long black trench coat matrix/silent bob style or go out wearing dressy looking clothes.

I'm going to try the banana or the santa :P

Heh, I've done the slacks and button down shirt thing. I even pulled out one of my Spyders. When teams were chosen, I was last. Funny how many eliminations you can get when you are the most underestimated player on the field.

Aslan, many of us play paintball for fun. Even in games when I am shot out on the break, I can still enjoy myself and yes, have fun. Fun comes in many varieties and often has nothing to do with winning, especially for those of us who are dedicated rec-ballers.

For those of use who still play speedball, we need a new style.

Today, i will be trying out the "i may look like a newb but ill still kick your ***" Jeans and T-shirt combo

if your really ballsy try the "im just taunting you ballers " slacks with a button up shirt

I think some lace bra and panties for speed ball players would be more apropriate since they can't embrace the full game of paintball with sneaking around and such (woods ball).

I think orange hunting outfits would look cool also.

(only with paintball guns)

Been there done that. My friend and I used to wear day glow orange shirts back in 97'ish

I never understood paintball "fashion." You know what I play in? A tie-dye shirt and some camo pants. Why camo? Because I can't mess up my blue jeans. Why tie-dye? Because I luv that stuff!

[ProblemKinder]

See...now that's funny! Sort of sad...but players that think they can play paintball to pay the bills, I find that far funnier than a bannana suit.

ok...im glad you see my point.

i still think you're taking it too seriously. IT'S PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!!!

ok so one of my old teams decided to go tournament but never made it happen.. our plan was to be called the silly gooses pink jerseys and to act flaming gay the whole time. even after we won! i mean everything from walking talking and even running gay until we needed to really act serious! it would have been great!
