A 2nd Rhodesian brushstroke pattern, fairly consistent in coloration and printing, was produced from 1970 until the end of the war. This design featured brown & dark green brush strokes on a khaki background, and was produced on a much wider variety of uniform items. This was standard combat issue to both the Rhodesian Army and BSAP. By the time the 2nd pattern was produced, a higher quality cotton drill fabric was being utilized for production runs, along with more colorfast dyes. Uniforms still tended to fade under the hot African sun, but over time did not have the transluscent appearance of many 1st pattern items.
