Tiger Stripe Products offers Air Force our copyrighted pixilated tiger stripe pattern, TIGERPAT ™, "The First Pixilated Tiger Stripe".
This pattern was offered in blue/grey colorway as well as real combat ready
colorways.
Our combat ready,
fully pixilated, tiger stripe pattern,
based on our copyrighted Original Vietnam Tiger Stripe™ pattern, had been in development since Jan 2004 and was completed in early May 2004.

Air Force tasks Tiger
Stripe Products to assemble private sector project team. TSP instructs AF
Clothing Office (WPAFB) in taking project from idea to production. TSP assembles team
from several different areas of textile industry and begins project.
TSP
redesigns our copyrighted
Original Vietnam Tiger Stripe™ pattern for Air Force tiger stripe
pattern. Air Force given several different color schemes including combat ready
camouflage colorways. Against our professional recommendations, Air Force Leadership chooses blue/gray colorway which
is soundly rejected by entire Air Force community.
Pattern Design Rejected
October 2004
through March 2006
Air Force announces this semi-pixilated stripe like pattern as the new "test"
pattern. This pattern merely adds ragged
pixel-like edges to the pattern.
Pattern colorway is Gray, Green, Tan, and Air Force Blue.
NOTE: Numerous more advanced, tiger and non-tiger
patterns were offered with the current colorway, flightline colorways, or other true "All
Terrain"
colorways.
Air Force did not request to have a test uniform made from any of these far
superior advanced patterns. 21st century Air Force research and development at
its best.
September 2004
Tiger Stripe Products offers Air Force our newest proprietary, 21st century (3rd generation), pixilated tiger stripe designs all based on our copyrighted Original Vietnam Tiger Stripe™ pattern.
Several variations offered but none considered.

U.S. Air Force announces Airman Battle Uniform
(ABU)
finalized for production.
(USAF photos right)
US Air Force Leadership
announces the production of the new uniform for the 21st century USAF. This
uniform has been designed with the mission of the majority of AF personnel in
mind.
It utilizes a simple ragged edged stripe like pattern and its primary
design function is not as a front line combat uniform.
Topping USAF Leadership's design feature list; ease of care (wash and wear),
durable yet comfortable fabrics, individual
male and female sizing, pocket design and placement to undertake office and
general work tasks.
Air Force blue can be seen in the pattern design which
USAF Leadership specifically wanted to distinguish the uniform as "Air Force". Camouflage effectiveness was a
very low ancillary issue.
USAF Leadership chose to adopt this elementary ragged edged stripe like pattern over any of our
far superior advanced Battle ready tiger
stripe designs.
See an example of one of our advanced Battle ready camouflages shown
below (DIGITAL TIGER™).

Airman Battle Uniform... an advanced BATTLE uniform? Note to the ranks:
When we started the uniform project in 2002,
USAF Leadership informed us that 97% of AF personnel
did not need
a battle uniform but rather a barracks utility work uniform. Leadership
ultimately received exactly what they
asked for.
The resulting uniform is that barracks utility work uniform.
The name actually does apply if one takes
into consideration the battle activity that USAF Leadership says is the mission of
the majority of today's Air Force. As determined by USAF Leadership, advanced Battle features like easy entry
slanted chest, arm,
and leg cargo pockets, elbow and knee padding pockets, improved neck
closure to keep debris out and to protect from body armor, gusseted shoulders
for ease of movement, and most importantly... an authentic Battle ready
advanced pixilated Tiger Stripe pattern and colorway are not needed for the 21st
century U.S. Air Force.
Besides making the connection between the Air
Force and the pattern; why is blue one of the pattern colors? Besides the sky or
ocean, how often does the color blue occur in deserts, forests, jungles, or urban
settings? This uniform does not seem to fit the
definition of an advanced battle uniform. This is evidently a new style of battle uniform.
We're sorry. We wished we had the opportunity to give you an
authentic battle uniform with all the relevant features plus an effective
camouflage design. At the very least you could have had a uniform with a
State-of-the-Art pixilated Tiger Stripe pattern and colorway unlike what was
chosen.
The men and women of the Air Force have our undying support for the difficult
jobs that you all perform for our country. Is this new adopted camouflage and
uniform design an Airman Battle Uniform or an Airman Barracks Uniform? Maybe it's just
according to your own definition. Judge for yourself.

DIGITAL
TIGER™ (All Terrain II colorway shown)
The fully pixilated pattern elements maximize near and far visual break up.
Micro/macro visual "noise" is created that enhances camo effectiveness at
all distances.
We combined our very effective copyrighted Original Vietnam Tiger Stripe™
pattern with advanced proprietary pixilation design techniques to make this
a far superior pattern in all respects.
Unfortunately for the Air Force, Leadership decided that an authentic Battle
ready advanced pixilated Tiger Stripe camouflage pattern and colorway was
not worth the few
extra cents per uniform.
USAF
stripe like pattern. The ragged edges surrounding the solid areas do little for
the visual break up of the pattern elements.
The key to a good digital camo effective pattern is that visual break
up is achieved at near and far distances.
Very little break up is achieved here but it's not really required for
a simple barracks work uniform. This pattern and colorway are mainly for
show.
Numerous more advanced pixilated tiger patterns, for real world
applications, were recommended but all were rejected. This is a new
type of Battle uniform that does not utilize advanced battle features
like easy entry slanted pockets, etc., or
an authentic Battle ready Tiger Stripe camouflage pattern
and colorway.
