So I've searched the web and come up empty handed thus far.... I'm looking for an EZ Up shade canopy but with camo pattern OTHER than an "old school" generic pattern. It seems hard to believe real-tree or mossy oak has not licensed out some of their more popular patterns.... Anyone have a source?
Thanks in advance!!

What about using the leafy style camo nets you find at army surplus stores? It wouldn't be an easy up but you could use conduit for the legs

Thanks for all the suggestions. As mentioned in the original post, I would like to find the shades made by EZ Up. I've had different brands over the years and have yet to find another that held up over time.
If it was just me I would undoubtably be under a tree but I'm hosting about 60 clients in September and therefore need to find 5 or 6. Since most are just as interested in networking and consuming our ice cold "Dr. Pepper" as they are the hunting, I want to make sure everyone is as comfortable as possible.....

Buy the cheapest shade canopy you can find... rattle can camo and brush with mesquite trees (or whatever you're hunting around).

Why are you against old school camo? Drake waterfowl has made a killing off of it in the last year. If all they want to do is socialized and drink refreshments. Then get pink or blue for heavens sake.

Nothing against old school. Simply looking for something different. Is it really that hard is that to understand?
Besides I was told that only Aggies hunt under pink tents and "for heavens sake", I don't want anyone confusing me with one of them.....

You really do not need camo for dove, certainly not a specific pattern. I would just get green, or any bland color.

Thanks for all the suggestions!!! Below is the e-mail response from EZ-UP. Quite a bit more money then I was looking to spend but thought I would pass it along incase someone else happens to be interested. Thank you for contacting E-Z Up Direct.
You would have to go to our top of the line shelters for a custom color canopy top, which would be our Eclipse II. Those shelters start out at about $670.00 not including shipping and handling. You can view more info on this line by visiting http://www.ezupdirect.com/ezup-instant-shelters/eclipse2.php .
If you have any additional questions please feel free to contact me directly at the number below.
Thank you,

I bought one there a few seasons ago for dove hunting, 10 x 10 feet I think it was, camo, it was $100. If I got into a bind, wanted to make sure I had some shade for the dog. Turns out I never used it, there were plenty of trees to find shade, so I took it back. And about that time I stopped taking my dog dove hunting..

So I called the local TS in McKinney, manager said they were on order and would arrive July 1st. Decided to go this route since I'm not in a hurry and save a little on shipping. We shall see....
