In my opinion, if it looks EXACTLY like the regular and functions the EXACT same as the on brand, I dont see a problem with it. Boots are like that. I would assume that if the other are the exact same you will be fine.

I would agree with the boots generally. However, you I learned the hard way that have to be careful.
A while back I needed a new pair of boots for going down range. The best boots I found were USMC desert boots. I made it almost through the whole deployment before it was discovered that I had a Globe and Anchor imprinted on my boots.

Regulation on commercial gloves AR 670-1 Chapter 20-11
(4) Optional gloves. As an option, Soldiers may wear commercial gloves, unless restricted by the commander, as an optional purchase item. Gloves must be four-finger-and-thumb type design in a slip-on style, all black, plain, with no
logos or designs, made of black leather, fabric, or other material of appropriate commercial design.
I spent most of my enlistment in mountain units, so we had much more leeway with gloves. They could be any "Army looking" color like black, foliage green, white, tan etc. They could be 5 finger or mitten design, depending on how cold it was and the activity. Obviously no mittens while rappelling. Logos had to be either removed or subdued. Anything outside the general rules had to be approved on a case by case basis from the CO.
