US Navy ends its 'blueberry' camouflage uniforms

The U.S. Navy officially ended its blue camouflage uniforms on Oct. 1 and switched to a green camouflage already worn in Navy SEAL and explosive ordnance disposal units.

The U.S. Navy implemented the blue camouflage —often referred to as “blueberries”— in 2008, but it has been eyeing a change since 2016 to adopt the green pattern of its expeditionary units as a universal pattern for all of its service members, The Virginian-Pilot reported.



Active-duty sailors reportedly received an increase in their annual uniform replacement allowance to facilitate the purchase of their new uniforms, designated as the Navy Working Uniform Type III.

The blue camouflage was designated Navy Working Uniform Type I.
