SG-Team
Black
Off-World Uniform
VARIATIONS = OFFWORLD SG TEAMS, ONWORLD SPECIAL OPS
The standard "Black" costume is made of of the following items from the bottom up :
1) Black Magnum
"Response" (formerly known as "Trooper") boots.
Available at Quartermaster, but nearly any police type tactical boot will do (canvas or nylon sides, but
not the Jungle boot style)
2) Black BDU trousers (they use ripstop, but you don't have to...we recommend polyester/cotton twill; though it may be easier to color-match with ripstop)

3) Black BDU belt
most local surplus stores or http://www.uscav.com
4) Black Tee Shirt or mock-turtleneck (no pocket)
<any place they sell t-shirts>
5) Black WEP G-8 jacket* (they use a custom made jacket in ripstop)
*Custom jackets can be ordered through Dan Kim at: lostncybr@aol.com or from MAc (mgsm33) at: mac@plusnet.pl

7) Blackhawk Omega Medic/Utility Vest in Black
Also used in Season 7 is the Omega Tactical Vest 1 in Black:
This particular vest appears to not have the "sniper shoulder" of the currently available version; others seen do have it ("Fallen").

15) Weapons! Standard sidearms are the H&K MP5A3/A5, the FN P-90* & the Beretta M-92 pistol.
Many M-16/M-4 variants have also been used, as have the M-249 SAW and M-60 MGs.

16) The Two-Way radio used by SG-1 is the Motorola VISAR with the 2.5" 'stubby' antenna.
With the Black Vest, this radio is usually represented (on the show) by a modified version of the same
VISAR radio with a bright red LED installed on the front to denote when an actor is transmitting.
(as seen in many scenes where the actor is holding the radio in their hand.)
Unmodified Motorola VISAR radios can be found nearly every day on eBay for $75-$125 US.
