For Worlds I am doing photography for the community corner so I need something deployable so I chose the ODST Physical Training uniform.

I started with looking at the boots. These were easy. I chose Bench black leather boots that closest resembled the boots here.

For the pants it is difficult. I looked for a long time but it seems like if there are any cargo pockets or extra pockets they’re in line with the pants and not the typical BDUs that people typically use for ODST armour. For that I chose 5.11 Ridge pants.

This was in part due to the material and also keeping the cargo pockets. The Ridge pants keep the same silhouette but also gives additional utility pockets like so many in the 405th like with their ODST uniforms.
Finally I got my shirt made by a friend who owns a business in producing shirts. I think the text is a little big so I’ve ordered smaller print. I also need to cap the name. I was too excited to think at the time but here is what I had made for run 1:

I’ve submitted for approval and waiting but already suspect the changes I need to make:

Just a fun addition: Got custom ODST tags made from Etsy. Timmy and I joke that our little fireteam in Sweden would be Raven after Odin’s two ravens Huginn and Muninn for Wisdom and Knowledge.

Ok! Update:
Here is the UNSC Logo with background removed that I used and the font. The font is the standard Marine Crops font. Took me forever to hunt it down. Don't do what I did if you make or order it and remember to put the name in all caps. If you want the service I used she had my shirts done and shipped and in my hands in 48 hours. You can email her or her site is:

Before I get asked, I just ordered new shirts and I think we dialed in the text. It is 2.5cm for the name and we removed the bold lettering then 8cm on the logo. This seems to match after side by side comparison but retains the legibility of the name. For anyone looking to replicate this in the future!
