I actually think the new uniforms might be a bit TOO fashion forward, especially the men's cabin crew jacket. Time will tell how they wear after cleanings. I don't think the men's looks timeless at all, it looks like something you'd see at H&M or a "fashion" retailer for one season.
The women's uniforms are a bit more elegant.
I like the purple color though. Reminscent of Virgin Atlantic, yes, but you DO mix red and blue to get purple. So technically purple is already a Delta color. And you're also seeing it in some SkyClubs (the background wall coverings).

I was always under the impression that the only double-breasted uniform jackets were for the flight deck crew uniforms? I didn't know the cabin crew had a choice of a double-breasted jacket as well. I think it would look a bit odd.

Snazzy uniforms are definitely not part of my decision process for the Soft Product. But, sharply dressed cabin crew (if they act the part, too) will certainly stand out in my mind for future optional travel.

This. While I appreciate something that looks good to me, more important is whether the employees like wearing them and that they are comfortable, functional, and durable.

So do we expect Delta to redo their color schemes on all delta items (check in desks, signage, maybe even aircraft interior) to make the royal purple/grey more harmonious with the bright blue/red combo? I love the purple/grey/white combo in some of these promotional pictures but feel that heathery royal purple tones don't really go with bright reds and blues. At the very least putting purple with red and blue gives the whole color scheme a very heavy feel as opposed to clean and light.

Anyone that says they like American uniform can't be taken serious. once u get over the color I I'm sure you will like it. I have seen both in person and Americans can't compare as one is fashionable with details galore and the other is basically the Hyatt uniform with a bunch of buttons and oversize red tote passed off as a hand bag.

New Uniforms are Being Wear-Tested
I spotted a new male flight attendant's uniform in the wild on a flight today. They even made an announcement noting the fact that he was wear-testing the new uniform and encouraged passenger feedback through Delta.com and an email address. I wasn't able to take a photo--it was a full flight and I missed the UG.
The purple apron still felt "off brand" in person--it's very purple. Although I like the suit, the epaulettes stand out in person because they aren't tightly pressed to the suit and are awfully thick. They make the suit look more like a doorman's uniform.
Have you seen the new uniforms in the wild?

Saw a female uniform at the DFW SkyClub in December-she complimented the comfort, and we had a laugh about the AA uniform fiasco (especially apropro considering we were at DFW). Overall it wasn't a bad look.
