The Navy Working Uniform Type I, blue camouflage utilities commonly referred to as “blueberries” will be replaced everywhere in the service by the forest-green NWU Type III camouflage utilities developed by Naval Special Warfare Command as a tactical uniform. The Navy’s most mocked camouflage uniform will be soon be a thing of the past, the service announced Thursday. Navy sweats are getting a new logo: “NAVY” in silver reflective lettering, which is already featured on the Navy PT shirt and shorts. Navy officials also announced today a series of other uniform decisions handed down by the service. Officials said the NWU Type III, now used by riverines and other expeditionary forces, would be issued to new recruits beginning Oct. 1, 2017.
