I'm a wee bit confused by your question. Are you talking about wearing a Green or a Red (Maroon) Balmoral w/ clan badge; or a Green / or Red (Maroon) Military Beret w/ clan badge? 
Nothing wrong w/ a Green (or Maroon) BALMORAL, until mine wore out I use to wear a dark green balmoral all the time (kilted or not). Received a lot of favorable responses.
