I like the purple and greys, but not a fan of the solid red uniforms that showed up on DL's Twitter feed moments ago.

The respective platinum, red, and gold accents, and different uniform options for in-flight service made some employees in each department feel separated from other departments, like they're not on the same team.

This is bad. The current uniforms look much better.

Please let us be correct here

It is not purple. It is 'plum,' a color I have some familiarity with.

Seems the epaulettes on the in-flight jackets and the wings are the differentiator between ACS and in-flight uniforms. More subtle than the current red/silver.

Is there some sort of law that the uniforms have to be the same color as the paint on the plane? I mean nobody is getting worked up about the grey, despite the fact that grey isn't in any of the current delta branding.

Plum on the same pallet as the blue and red? Seems to clash.

Love it! Truly makes DL America's most glamorous global network carrier!
Especially the Two white flight attendants with the sunglasses look amazing!

lol

I mean, people overreact a lot on this forum. People act like companion upgrades are a human rights violation, but at least that's something that actually affects their experience.

Looks like Zac Posen designed a really great uniform for the wrong airline. My hot take is that the aubergine color will not stay long. Everything else is fine.
