Note that DL got rid of the "Confederate Gray" inserts on the 717s, and it looks like this will be the new F seat color scheme.
I also wonder if the seat belts are red like on the new flat bed J seats on the 75S.

I like the seats and welcome Delta putting a bit more design into their cabins. First the "diamond' bulkhead, and the Delta and widget, now this. Hopefully there are a few more design pops in the works.

The seat got new "fabric" and color with maybe-winged head-rests
Did you notice the armrests. Circa 1980 or something?
BTW, I had a DL red blanket that was - how shall we say - used?
Will the new seats come with fresh blankets?

Am i the only one who notices that the quilted pattern seems to just be printed on? If you look closely at how the light from the window hits the window seat, it looks like a flat surface with just printed patterns, there doesnt appear to be any real texture or stitching on there. Possible Delta just went for a 'faux' patterned print or that these are just mockups?

I really like it. Very mid-century modern, which brings a sense of the "jet set" era into the cabin--something I think Delta has been trying to touch on in their design ever since the merger and the new uniforms. Good choice.
If they really want the cabins to look better, however, the should start with better and more regular cleaning. I was disgusted with the state of my flatbed seat on my last TATL fight.

Am I the only who thinks these new seats are decoy? I have a feeling that Delta has a few more "enhancements" up its sleeve. For example, you walk on the plane and see the nice new seats and the lack of pre-departure drinks goes completely unnoticed. When someone finally comes around and notices PDB's have been gone for a while we will get a statement from DL telling us how they have enhanced and expedited the boarding process.
