The new uniforms were in the safety video for a flight I had Sunday. They did the video with a history of uniforms. There were some from the 60's and 70's that were pretty sweet, although I'm sure not very practical. I haven't flown mainline in a while, but I presume it was pretty new since some of the FAs were actually watching it over passengers shoulders.

You do not want to be sitting in an aisle seat then, lest you be taken out by a FA's hoop skirt or bustle when she turns sideways during drink service.

These still look awful and off brand; it doesn’t look like they made as many modifications after the trial runs as the employees had been asking for. The male uniforms in particular still look like they’re designed for an 1800s elevator attendant, not a modern and fresh thinking global airline...

Despite the snark, I actually do like the look and am glad to hear how important employee feedback was in the process. No fun to have the 'it gave me a rash' problems American had when they rolled out their new uniforms with less process a while back.

Pass by the new uni in today, wow, they look worse in person. The style is not the issue, the color is the biggest problem. No identity, unless it's barney. I think this is a sick joke of some type. Purple is one of those aged color that especially does not look well on people that are more plumped...

Someone else said it best. "They look like a cross between Barney and Willy Wonka".
They are horrifying and don't represent the Delta brand at all.

Purple isn't necessarily a bad color - but I think the biggest problem is that it's a color that is core to Virgin Atlantic's branding, not to Delta's. These new uniforms seem like they were designed for VS, not DL.
