will we be aloud to wear only matching jerseys but not matching paints we decided not to take redz deal so we are just going to all be wearing assorted speed ball paints.  also if we managed to get the same color and type of speed ball paints would that be ok. 
The reason im asking speedball paints is because we like how they are made and they hold up better in paintball. 
Also do we all need to have vests because no one on our team will be useing one for this event due to low paint loads.  I dont see why you would require vests thought exept it does look more mil slim.
not trying to step on anyones toes, or come off as rude, but I do believe this exact same question (not from you) has already been asked a million times and answered just as many.  Here's a recap for you so you don't have to go through and read all these posts since you obviously hadn't by the time you posted this.

1)     Jerseys are not allowed with exception to Jerseys such as the maurauder system from SpecOps, which is only allowed due to its inherent nature to "NOT" be a jersey.  It's more like pullover BDU's.

2)     Paintball/Speedball pants are not allowed with exception to Certain type such as (and I hate to beat a dead horse) the Maurauder System from SpecOps, which are only allowed due to its inherent nature to "NOT" be speedball pants.  It's more like mil-sim tactical wear BDU's for paintball.

3)     Mil-Sim Tactical Style boots, leave the cleats at home. In a building with a solid floor, cleats will provide less traction and can cause hazards in tight quarters such as hallways.

4)     Tactical Vests are a Must.  It is maditory to wear some kind of Tactical Vest or Tactical Harness.  This is a Tactical Format, not to be confused with Rec-Ball that you play in your back yard.  Think about it, its a dresscode, you didn't wear fatigues to Prom did you? no, you wear a tux, or a suit, because there's a dresscode. Same deal here.

5) Tactical Markers are a must.  If you have one of those flashy speedball guns that look like a ray gun that flash gordon would use (no, im not biased, I have tons of them) then either paint it black, or camo, or whatever, or wrap it in tape.

I think that just about covers it.  Like I said, I'm not trying to be rude, I'm simply trying to help out Hitman, who gets pummled with this question in one form or another every single day.  As a matter of fact, if you DO go back and read over these 4 pages of posts, your see that this is primarily the ONLY question asked, when the first post sums it all up for ya just as I have.

Not to be dense, but what about the Empire Invert Jersey? Or the Tippman Jersey used by the Tippinators? ???   ???

Actually the Empire Invert is EXACTLY what hes been saying ISN'T allowed.  How many times does this man have to say NO SPEEDBALL STYLE JERSEYS!  NO means NO in all cases, not just when your dates say it.  Can we please stop beating a dead horse here?  Unless its Camoflage, the jersey is not allowed!

Looks to me like the man just said "ok" to the Invert Jersey by Empire which comes in a selection of camo patterns and black highlights.

It is referred to as OPEN discussion which is why it has been discussed and obviously people have strong feelings about it...when you ignore other people's opinions just because they don't synch with yours you exclude a significant percentage of the intended audience.

There are a lot more "tweeners" that play both speedball and woodsball that would love to participate and comply with the rules of this league. It looks like the rules have just been further clarified and I think everyone is grateful for that. Relax.

Look, I'm sorry if you think I came down on you harshly, but you have to see I'm just trying to get people to stop asking the same question.  He has said since the beginning of this posting, that camo jersys are fine, as long as they aren't bright.  So to ask if a camo jery is ok, wheither its PCS, Maurauder, or Invert, its very very old.  Thats like going into a 99 cent store and inquiring about the prices of things to the cashier.  you may only ask it once, but how many times do you think hes been asked? now imagine your the last person to ask in a line of 40 or so... how do you think the guy behind you hearing all those people (including you) feels when you ask and he's heard the answer 39 times already...
My point is, the post right above yourse says ^^^Thanks^^^  and its referring to the post above that which states that Jerseys are only allowed if they are some form of Camo pattern that isn't brightly colored. its not a hard concept.  If its camo or tactical its in, otherwise its not.

Again, I'm sorry if you think I exploded on you, it just its not even lost in the pages anymore, its written right above yours.

I didn't take it personally and no need to apologize. I'm a "newbie" on this forum so I don't want to offend anyone by throwing around my opinion. I read the entire thread and I couldn't see a clear answer until now. You added that there were no jerseys except Spec Ops which made sense, but I knew that there were other brands that also complied which is why I asked about the Empire and other brands and got the answer I was looking for.

I'm glad the jersey issue is a little clearer now. Everyone should be satisfied.

I kinda new to this, but here is  my 2 cents. From what I am understanding is  the format of the game is meant to surpass speedball, and although similar to woods/scenerio ball its a little more uniform. I think the purpose being conveyed is this is to simulate CQB/SWAT/MOUT type operations. I believe the introduct of civilians, or mobsters, or gangbangers and such would defeat the purpose of the game as it is planned. I think Players should wear BDU/tactical uniforms, however those that wish not to buy the BDU/Tactical uniforms should at the  least wear dark clothing of some sort. Hitman I fully understand where you are going with this format and I have faith that it will work out the best the way you planned it, with out all of that civilian/gangbanger stuff. Do the League and this Tactical format as you planned it, TACTICAL TEAM VS. TACTICAL TEAM.

ok so i saw on one of the pages someone asked about the sniper wearing a different uniform as do the scout snipers for the marine corps and i'm sure just about every other sniper unit out there cause though BDU's help blend in they aren't as good as let say a ghillie suit. my question is i get the whole jersey/no jersey and i understand that a lot of cames would be more urban then woods ( at least thats the impression i get) but for those wood games could the team sniper infact wear a ghillie or different uniform then the rest of his team? same with the LBV (vest) a sniper wouldn't carry one thats extra weight he wouldn't need. how bout a leg magazine holster. it would allow for the appropriate amount of ammo as well as keep his upper body light and mobile with no LBV to get in the way of his shooting position, or scrape along the ground when sniper crawling to his hide.
