Hey kidz
I might be a bit behind the times here but i was just wondering what the official line is on hopper colours this year.

I'm pretty much certain clear hoppers are outlawed but i was wondering if it's allowed for me to spray the inside of my Halo a solid clear colour and get away with it?

Orange is banned on anything.
You think!!

Are you playing Campaign? If so, just have a look around and see how many Teams are getting away with Orange on their playing shirts!

Bit of a sore point for us as we were told in Amsterdam that we had to change our shirts immediately as one of our Spnsors Logos was in Orange. Cost us a packet for the shirts in the first place then new shirts in 'Dam, went to Paris and loads of Teams were getting away with Orange on their Uniforms. Raised the point with Ulrich, he argued for a bit but then concided that we were right! Still don't make a difference, we were still out of pocket!

My opinion, Spray it whatever colour you like, Millenium Rules are not enforced on a fair basis so you may get away with it!

Right said Curious,

Either any and all exposed orange is banned no exceptions or forget the rule completely. Anything short of this is hypocritical bull****. The rules about orange clothing has been in most if not all the major leagues for years now. There's no excuse for manufacturers or teams. And there's no excuse for a league or rules commissioner to cave in and allow exceptions.

Couold be worse..

PSP took all the banned color rules (expect pink paint) out of the rules, but then Rosie puts them back at the captain's meeting.

Really, banned colors are dumb. Everybody wear what color you want, and everybody shoot what color you want. That way if any jersey color gets to be too common people will just shoot a different paint color.

Sometimes paintball players can be so ... naive.

It should be a sport. You know that in most sports, the home team wears white, and visiting team wears colors? That the basketball has to be a particular color, depending on the league? The tennis court has to be green, unless it's that new fangled tennis league, when it's blue? That the goalie's jersey can't be the same color as the rest of the teams?

Pretty soon, they're going to make paintball players all have numbers on their jersies in the same spots that are the same size, and make you have two sets of jersies for home and away, make you pass a drug test, and you'll look up, and there will be people in the stands, thousands of them, and maybe a group of 5 rings above your head, and maybe you'll stop to wonder when paintball became a real sport.

Actually, probably not, because like most people who "play" paintball, you're probably much better at whining about the inconveniences that make the difference between a sport and a hobby than you are comprehending what it means to be an athlete.
