The Allgemeine-SS began changing over to the gray-green (military style) uniforms in 1938. They retained their unique insignia and wore Allgemeine-SS shoulder boards on both shoulders. The swastika armband was replaced with the national emblem (sleeve eagle).

The early SS-VT wore an earth-brown uniform and both the SS-VT and LSSAH wore a field-gray drill uniform; however, about the same time as the Allgemeine-SS changed to gray-green, so did the SS-VT and LSSAH.
