Hmmmm....will reserve judgement until the full uniform picture has been released...although that picture in the article doesn't instill much confidence.

I'm shocked, its worst than the current Uniform.

I hope the male f/a don't have to wear the pink uniform.

What does PINK! have to do with NZ?

Here some more images http://www.voxy.co.nz/national/top-k...niform/5/35008

I like the funky koru-style pattern, the pink not so much. I wonder what the male uniforms are going to look like.

Personally, I think it's awful. And it looks as though the staff don't think much of it. Talk of drag queens and pink flights!

Wouldn't it be nice if this time they consulted staff and customers? They don't need 2 disasters in a row.

And I agree that it makes the new 777 interiors a worry. Shocking pink is not likely to relax pax.

What's wrong with the navy and turquoises of past year? They were restful, smart and very reminiscent of our skies and ocean.

Truly awful..........were the staff consulted I wonder? Can you see any of the male FAs wearing that god awful scarf? I am just hoping the Female FA get a variety of clours and not just that horrible Pink.

What are NZ thinking to release something so terrible.

Why didn't they go for a classic look a la QF?

Well if it the male staff where consulted, they surely didn't ask the straight male crew.

The younger male crew probably wouldn't mind dressing like they are off to a night club. But how the say over 30s going to feel!

If the crew are going to be pink what does this hold for the new aircarft paint scheme. Hot pink like a barbie toy car, that my sister had when she was like 8.

The pink uniform is revolting!
the last think i want to look at during a long haul flight is a migraine inducing crazy pattern on a shocking pink background.
I take it ANZ are planning on distrubting free painkillers & eyeshades in all cabins on flights if passengers have to look at that design for 24 hours.
The green background is not as bad & is at least a unisex colour.

They say they are bringing it out to concide with the new aircraft. Personally i would rather keep the 747's & stick to the old uniforms.

At last another woman making comments!

Forgetting the dreadful colour, the dress is so dowdy in shape and the length most unflattering.

Apparently the ground staff will have different colours.

Flight crew still being worked on. How about pink with white spots and knee length trousers?

They have yet to decide on concierge uniforms as well. Any suggestions?

Here's another female commenting. That pink and black dress is vile!!!!!
The colour is gross, the all-over pattern is far too "busy" and the shape is totally impractical for TAs who have to bend and stretch.

Pink has no relevance to NZ's traditional colour scheme.
