    The Scout shop on lower Abbey Street has them.

    Cant remember how much they are, but €3 is standing out for some reason

    Am I being paranoid thinking it might be a bit dodgy wearing tri colours up on a airsoft site in the North? Not saying the guys up there arent nice, but you dont exactly know everyone you're playing against.

    Anyway, the orange wouldnt do much to help you blend in with the greenery ;)

    Well, they dont seem to mind wearing german flags or any other flags for that matter. and if they have a problem with a flag of your country, **** em. it not like your wearing one patch i found where you have a irish flag crossed with a burning english one. or the stupid 26+6/tiocfaidh ar la patches

    If you get into a debate over it , you can always just explain what the three colours on the Tri colour represent , usually gives people thought.
    I mean there’re not many EU member flags that represent freedom but also a wish for peace between two nations.

    I picked up some tri-colour flags in Hickeys in DL. Thats the shop across the road from the €2 shop beside Pennys. They're iron-on and are only €2.50 each.
    Plus Iv spoken to alot of people from the North and they dont care if we wear them so no need to be paranoid Oisin!

    Well, unless you're planning on bringing an iron up with you, you won't have it for the big day out...

    There has to be somewhere that sells them around where you live?

    Could always make one? :D

    A rectangle of white material, some green and orange paint and you're done.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,323 ✭✭✭Spitfire666


    a patch of tipex and some highlighters even.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 960 ✭✭✭Harekin


    These are deadly patches tho, good size and good colours.

    EDIT: I jsut have British DPMs btw. Hence the Irish flag...give it more of a "home" feel.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,323 ✭✭✭Spitfire666


    do you have a pic?

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,323 ✭✭✭Spitfire666
