Roggenwolf Dacia™
In October 2008, Roggenwolf™ was contacted by a European manufacturer and supplier of military uniforms, and given a brief to develop a 'universal' camouflage pattern, which might be suitable to replace Romania's own four-colour Woodland DPM and two-colour Desert DPM camouflage patterns. This original brief called for a three-colour camouflage pattern with the 'look and feel' of Italy's Vegetato, but designed to accommodate colours similar to those used with the U.S. Army's Universal Camouflage Pattern (UCP).
The pattern family was given the working title Dacia™.
The poor effect and general unsuitability of the requested UCP colourway was recognised and acknowledged early in the development process, and an amended brief was issued in June 2009. The revisions included latitude for the design and development of four-colour versions of Roggenwolf Dacia, which could be loaded with colourways similar to 'Timberwolf'. A five-colour version — provisionally called Vârcolac™ (Romanian: 'werewolf') — was also developed in December 2009. Adversely affected by the financial crisis of 2007–2010, however, the Romanian project was suspended in January 2010.
'DACIA' and 'VÂRCOLAC' are trade marks of Brad Turner trading as Roggenwolf.
PLEASE NOTE: A national flag means only that a camouflage pattern is currently reserved for a particular nation, and should not be construed as an indication of official use.
