I always leave the branch tape off BDUs worn for sporting or utility purposes. The problem is that the BDU is a uniform, so any name in place of the branch tape or patch in place of a unit patch could be impugned if the wearer does something bad. Assuming the tapes were allowed or sold, etc., the BBS realistically has no control over to whom or for what purpose. SS does not have or recommend a uniform for its members. The same issue of implied liability and no control arises for any proposed SS device that were permanently blazed on a vehicle including novelty license plates.
