Heresy!
God's Camo will NEVER be obsolete!
Also, you get style points for DPM/brushstroke type camos. Frankly I am just tired of everything multicam.... So overdone these days, so boring.
Seriously though, from a non-50+ year -old perspective, there's unironically still quite the demand for modern gear in the the old M81[?] American Woodland BDU type camo, so... You're probably not sticking out at the range as much as you think right now... #tacticalaesthetic is very much a thing right now. Like, if you're sitting on any of the old straight 20rd Pmags, they are worth like $40-50+ each because aesthetic reasons. Don't ask, I have no idea why...
But yeah, woodland is hot shit again, so congrats, you're a kool kid.
I mean, considering you don't sound like you've gone out of your way to deck out head to toe in MC like everyone these days, and are wearing it because you have it and like it than roll on. Half the country wears at least some piece of top or bottom camo something or other to the range so, whatever. Just offset the top or bottom with something else if you're really worried about it (ie, camo top with jeans/plain bottom, or camo pants with plain top, etc).
I usually wear some sort of solid earthtone colors, since that's what I like anyway, so, yay, I guess that makes me tacticool or whatever, but if you play it right, with solids you can also fit in just fine with the "outdoorsy" REI/Whole Foods crowd. I also have a couple pairs of DCU pants and a Woodland field shirt, and I've worn them to events and not given a flying fornication what anyone might have thought.
If someone is going to discount or deride me because of my clothing without regard to what my rounds are doing downrange, I really don't have time for them to exist within my sphere of awareness.
Now... if you're talking about LBE/ PC/chest rigs/ etc... get it in MC hands down.
All my stuff is in solid colors (CB/RG) because I feel like a dweeb in MC, but to the detriment of my wallet, as MC gear is FAR more easy to re-sell than solids.
