Cap Camouflage Pattern I Posted May 9, 2017 Share #1 Posted May 9, 2017 This came up in the 505th Helmet thread and I didn't want to derail it so I made a new topic. Here's one that is very clearly a red devil, which makes sense because the 508th are the red devils, however all the rest I've seen are much larger and it's hard for me to tell what they are, I assume they are devils but they almost look like hearts.
