The KMA Bacteria Camo Hockey Jersey channels South Korean military academy heritage into modern sportswear. Based on the experimental “Bacteria” camouflage developed by the Korea Military Academy in the late 1960s, the design features bold black, amoeba-like forms across a white base, creating a highly graphic pattern unlike standard camouflage.
Originally worn by cadets and training units for ceremonial and academic use, the pattern was more symbolic than practical and never widely issued. Its rarity and experimental status now make it a sought-after piece among collectors and historians.
This jersey adapts that history into a modern athletic build. Crafted from 100% recycled polyester in a lightweight 4.7 oz./yd.² (160 g/m²) fabric, it balances durability with breathability. Moisture-wicking properties keep the wearer dry, while a relaxed fit, rounded yoke, and V-neck collar deliver unrestricted movement and long-lasting comfort.

The Bacteria Camouflage, also known as “Microorganism Camouflage,” is a rare South Korean pattern developed by the Korean Military Academy (KMA) in the late 1960s and used through the 1990s. Characterized by high-contrast black, amoeba-like forms scattered across a white background, it was designed for training environments where traditional camouflage was less practical. Intended to disrupt the human silhouette and visually distinguish cadets during drills and exercises, the pattern prioritized institutional identity over environmental blending. Printed on cotton twill and herringbone twill fabrics, with slight variations between class years, this camo was never mass-issued and remains exclusive to the academy. Its experimental design, limited production, and graphic intensity have made it a coveted item in vintage military circles and a notable example of unconventional camouflage theory.
