The year it was offered in colors other than ~OD Green!

Man.. you know whats wierd.. seeing someone actually order and pay big bucks for brand new sport gear.. in OD Green....

To me.. that is just wrong on far toooooo many levels..

When I was building Eagle rigs for Bill Buchman in 1975, Jim Hooper ordered one in OD Green. We had to special order the fabric. Only Jim would wear the latest style rig with the earliest style colors... He was transitioning from a B12 with a (you guessed it) OD green pop-top reserve.

I'll have you know that my OD Green Vector III with neon blue/purple/white accents is absolutely beautiful and I'll order those colors again and again.
Bill Booth told me it was nominated for an "ugliest rig" award while it was being built, but then again, I think long beards are ugly...just kidding Bill. I love it and none of you have to look at it, now do ya? I'll try to keep from going low so none of you have to!

It's all good!

Well, at least you have some color to offset the OD, Jim had pure OD, trim and all....

Long beards... when I built the first Wonderhogs for Bill Booth, he had no beard at all. It doesn't seem to have had an effect on his thinking ability but I thought he looked better without it (sorry Bill).

I'm sure Pam Tayon who Bill and I both rented a room from and Bill rented her garage for the first RWS shop has a picture of him somewhere with no beard. I looked through my stuff and I don't have one. Maybe she will see this thread and post one for us if Bill hasn't paid her off

Two photos (at least) in Poynter's if you know where to look! Also one photo in Bill's office -- see it when he does the RWS factory tour.

I tried to take a picture of it but the camera broke...coincidence?

Just kidding...I really should get a picture of it though. People have told me that they didn't like it the first time they saw it, but that it kind of "grows on you."
You should have seen Kim Worthington's face when I ordered it through the gear store. "Really? You want...really?!"
