Should we have outsourced the design task of the Army Physical Fitness Uniform? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/should-we-have-outsourced-the-design-task-of-the-army-physical-fitness-uniform <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I understand we are expecting yet another uniform change for the Army and this time, it is PT. The PT uniform seems to change more often than the other uniforms and it seems its always about the same two complaints; appearance/ugly and fit/comfort. The companies like Under Armour seems to have it right. Why havent we just used them to get it done right instead going through the same motions?

It is all about the bottom line and somebody&#39;s pocket within the system getting lined.&lt;/p&gt; SFC James Baber Tue, 04 Feb 2014 14:52:55 -0500 2014-02-04T14:52:55-05:00 Response by SSG Private RallyPoint Member made Feb 4 at 2014 3:21 PM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/should-we-have-outsourced-the-design-task-of-the-army-physical-fitness-uniform?n=51186&urlhash=51186 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div><p>I have been saying thiis for the last year or so.  We should allow companies to sponsor the military.  It would not only provide Soldiers with quality gear and clothing it would not be a burden to our ever decreasing budget.  </p><p> </p><p>I can see it now.  The 100th Engineer Brigade sponsored by the Home Depot.  The 100th Infantry Division sponsored by Glock.  Army PRT presented by Under Armour.  </p> SSG Private RallyPoint Member Tue, 04 Feb 2014 15:21:49 -0500 2014-02-04T15:21:49-05:00 Response by 1LT Private RallyPoint Member made Sep 5 at 2014 10:12 PM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/should-we-have-outsourced-the-design-task-of-the-army-physical-fitness-uniform?n=229655&urlhash=229655 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Am I the only one who wonders if they decide to change the various uniforms every few years because they are getting bored? <br />But I gotta say that it would make sense if the Army started using professional companies who make outstanding athletic clothing. Maybe the next time they decide to change the uniform they would take this into consideration. We can only hope 1LT Private RallyPoint Member Fri, 05 Sep 2014 22:12:53 -0400 2014-09-05T22:12:53-04:00 Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Nov 9 at 2015 1:23 PM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/should-we-have-outsourced-the-design-task-of-the-army-physical-fitness-uniform?n=1097329&urlhash=1097329 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>its cheaper to stay army, look at underarmour prices , they are sky high SFC Private RallyPoint Member Mon, 09 Nov 2015 13:23:07 -0500 2015-11-09T13:23:07-05:00 2014-02-04T12:30:45-05:00
