So it dawned on me the other day...
What colour uniforms do LoneStar and Knight Errant wear? I'm pretty sure LoneStar wear blue uniforms, but what kind of uniforms do Knight Errant wear? I have a vague suspicion (speeling) that they have a white and either blue/red uniform, but I was wondering if anyone knew exactly, and even had some pictures? I have all the books, but I dont remember seeing any of KE (but I wasnt exactly looking) |

My impression was that LS were blue and white (traditional cop colours)
and that KE was dark green. Or possibly dark green with yellow edging / highlights ? Can't tell you where I have that impression from though. |

IIRC there's an illustration of KE cops with green uniforms in Seattle 2072. The 3rd ed. New Seattle book stated that KE uniforms were black. Of course they could very well have changed the colour in the decade inbetween. |

Never had anything to back it up, but I always thought KE uniforms would be mostly black accented by bright red. I figure those colors are the most likely to elicit respect and fear as to our natural instinctive responses to colors. KE seems like the kind that would look at that research and make a decision like that.
LS on the other hand would likely be in more familiar police uniforms that we see today, promoting tradition and using the already established authority that that appearance invokes. Just my thoughts. |

Lots of modern day police uniforms are black, and even the navy blue ones tend to be so dark they look black, heh. So both would be drawing on old traditions there.

That's a good point, I was basing off local designs but you're right that black is common. Forgot about that.

The picture's b/w in the book, but the adjacent text mentions KE's "sleek and stylish" black uniforms. |

The green-uniformed KE cops are in the 4th ed. sourcebook Seattle 2072. The cops in the Seattle 2072 pic are also far less geared up (vests and cloth caps IIRC). This one however is from New Seattle, the old 3rd ed. book. |

I had thought people may have been talking about this picture when they were discussing KE uniforms in Seattle 2072? I mean, the story makes it very clear that they're 'cops' in Seattle post KE takeover of the contract, so I assume that they're KE beat cops on patrol duty in a park, which are often quite 'PR-friendly' in their uniforms, traditionally (mounted officers, for instance).

As mentioned above, LS colours are blue and gold/yelow.
There are some bw pictures of LS cops in SR2 corebook, and of course in Lone Star sourcebook. |

Also, keep in mind that picture doesn't show Lone Star's distinctive helmet, the one that makes the beat cops look like bad Power Rangers villians.

Lone-Star is Blue and Gold, that much seems to be pretty consistent.
Knight Errant seems to very from Light Green tee-shirt cop style uniforms to Black special ops battlegear. Maybe the thing to do is say "KS is green, with light colors for beat cops and public relations, darker shades for higher trained and heavily armed forces, and very dark to almost black for AAA rated security teams". How does that sound? |
