The KMA Bacteria Camo Hockey Jersey brings a piece of South Korean military academy heritage into modern sportswear. Inspired by the KMA “Bacteria” or “Microorganism” camouflage—an experimental pattern developed by the Korea Military Academy in the late 1960s—this design features bold, amoeba-like black shapes scattered across a white background, creating a strikingly graphic appearance that departs from conventional military camouflage.
Originally used for academic and ceremonial purposes rather than field concealment, the pattern was worn by cadets and specific training units at the academy. Its distinctive look served to visually disrupt the silhouette and symbolize institutional identity, yet it remained limited in distribution and was not adopted widely across the military. Due to its experimental nature and limited production, the KMA Bacteria camouflage is now highly sought after by collectors and historians.
The jersey echoes that legacy with a modern athletic silhouette—crafted from 100% recycled polyester in a lightweight 4.7 oz./yd.² (160 g/m²) fabric that balances durability with breathability. Its moisture-wicking properties keep you dry during rigorous activity, while a relaxed fit ensures freedom of movement whether you’re training, competing, or styling casually. Functional details like a rounded shoulder yoke and V-neck collar enhance both comfort and longevity.
Built for versatility, the KMA Bacteria Camo Jersey includes UPF 50+ protection for outdoor wear and meets OEKO-TEX 100 and Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certifications for ethical production. This jersey offers a fusion of archival camouflage design and modern technical performance, ideal for anyone seeking something unique in both style and story.

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.
