They are an absolute abortion... they are as ugly as they come and the male uniform looks like a doorman or bell hop uniform.
In talking with the FA this morning this before my flight, the over whelming opinion amoung both crew and customers so far has been the same. No one one likes it...

Saw a male checkin agent in the new uniform in SEA and have to agree with the others - the new uniforms are horrendous, particularly the shoulder treatment. Someone needs the courage to speak up and push the reset button on this fiasco.

I am pretty much mystified by this uniform, which solves a problem I wasn't aware they had. I kind of like the existing uniforms. The new ones make crew members look like doormen.
I also don't understand the color palette. Purple? Gray? It's so completely off-brand, unless there's a huge change in the offing.

Here's a new uniform spotted in the wild (as worn by LA-based flight attendant Dustin).
He looked pretty sharp in and out of the suit coat, but my traveling companion stated that one has to be really fit in order to pull off looking good in an outfit of a lighter color like this.
The apron (which I did *not* get a photo of) appears to be of the same material/pattern that the handkerchief accent is made of. I wasn't as much a fan of that.

I think darker skin tones will also look good in the light purple shirts.

I understand why they went with the purple (to be different) and without a lapel on the jacket (probably for traveling FA practicality's sake), but it just doesn't look right. Even if they gave the jacket the same thin lapel as the vest, it would look a whole lot better.

I don't see how the colors relate to anything Delta. In general, looks like a doorman's uniform from a mid price apartment building. Sorry.
