I fly Delta quite a bit and find the cut/style is heavily influenced by the body type and personal style of the wearer.
Sure I have. The uniforms worn by everyday DL employees still have a more modern cut than those displayed in the UA photos. In my experiences with DL (this is my first year in the last 7 of not being DL./NW plat or diamond), while there is variability from one employee to the next, the resulting cut/look is a modern one.

I'm really glad to hear that the uniforms are exciting to UA staff! That is part of the point of doing this at this time (as it was with DL).

I still believe that UA could have done a better job with the design of the uniforms, allowing them to make a bold statement about the future direction of their airline (as DL did). Hopefully "meh" (IMO) is not that statement.
