That looks pretty cool. Although i do agree with C-rats saying 'if it aint broke..'. It also looks a bit less professional if you ask me. It looks like it's been 'pimped'.

Shit Kman, are we going to see purple packaging with dayglow lettering now?

(oh-oh, I see another installment of that "Spoonman" video you hit me with coming again.....)

Great pictures kman, thanks! Those look like actual printed bags, so I would think we should start seeing these soon.

Seeing them in tan makes them look a little better, but I still agree with everyone here - too cluttered, too pimped, and I like the simple ones better.

I remeber when they switched from brown to tan, everyone wanted the brown bags for a while. It's almost like the tan ones didn't seem real. I bet the old tan ones become more popular for a while once these hit. Who knows...

Thanks, Steve. I just now re-worked the photos because I thought the previous ones were a little dark and didn't look good as thumbnails. So check out the first page of this thread for the updated pics.

Or heck...I suppose I could just put them here, too. :-)

Thanks, mreheater72. If you guys can think of any MRE bags I missed on there, feel free to let me know. I just went through my supply and took pics of what I could. I think I hit all the major highlights but you never know what I might have missed.
