Over the last two decades or so, armed forces around the world have abandoned their camouflage patterns in favor of a more pixelated, machine-engineered camo, similar to the blocky graphics in the popular online game "Minecraft."
And while it may seem counterintuitive, the digital-print look of the pixelated camos is actually notably more effective than earlier designs that sought to mimic nature.
According to retired US Army Lt. Timonthy R. O'Neill, large blotchy patterns work best for long distances and small patterns work best up close.
Pixelated patterns marry the two ideas together.

It distresses me to no end to see the US Navy spend any money on camo for shipboard use. Coveralls and dungarees served our Navy for decades and perform many functions. The new blue camo makes it impossible to see someone in the water.

I always say... If it works, then do it! Also... function before form any day!
