Caesar's Legion armor is armor of various types in Fallout: New Vegas.
Characteristics[]
The Legion crafts their suits of armor in the style of the Romans, complete with stylized crests for their decanii, centurions and legates. A typical legionnaire's armor consists of a torn red T-shirt, worn underneath repurposed sports equipment, consisting of a football player's protective shoulder and chest pads, reinforced with additional leather padding and worn over a baseball catcher's vest. This football equipment was taken by the Legion from the former University of Arizona.[Non-game 1](Note 1)
A tunic is worn over the legs, held up with a red belt and what appears to be work boots are employed as standard footwear. Leather hand wraps are used to improve grip, and all forms of Legion armor use some sort of tape around their right arms.
Centurions of the Legion wear armor made from a mix of various armors taken from defeated foes from the wasteland, including pieces of vault jumpsuits, super mutant armor, T-45d power armor and NCR Ranger combat armor.[1]
On all sets of Legion armor, the armor's shoulder pauldrons (whether that be the football pads or the centurions' scavenged armor) are marked with red X's, in reference to the Legio X Gemina, an army commanded by the historical Julius Caesar.[Non-game 2](Note 2)

Joshua Sawyer: "'Where did the Legion find all the football equipment?' From the University of Arizona. I don't know if that's actually explicitly stated anywhere, but yes, they got it from... uh... they got it from the University of Arizona." - ↑ 2.0 2.1 Question: "Why do Legionary forces in New Vegas have "X's" on their shoulder pads? Also, was there any reason why the Legion didn't have any armor that was as iconic as V. Range Armor? NCR gets its best armor showcased all over the place, while the Legion didn't."

Centurion Armor is the Legion equivalent of NCR Ranger Combat Armor."
