New York State Trooper (since approximately 1958) uniforms are grey and wool. The Gore-tex jacket is the only issued apparel item that is not wool. Uniforms are also treated like a U.S. Flag, in that they are burned when no longer serviceable. What else is true about NYSP uniforms ?

• no uniform badge is worn
• The old uniforms were not grey, but made of equal parts white fiber and black fiber to symbolize the impartiality of justice
• The black stripe down the trouser of a Trooper is worn in remembrance of fallen comrades.
• all the above are true
