I like the CSR uniforms - They look a bit like the ones currently worn by GS agents.
I think, however, the FA and CSR uniforms are too similar. They should create more differentiation and should also have incorporated a nice dress.

I think the uniforms look pretty good actually. I also think they used the models from the UA safety cards to model the outfits

My initial reaction was that these look like the current CO uniforms just in black instead of blue.
I am certainly not 'wowed' by those pictures....the word that comes to mind is boring. I hope they look a lot better on actual people. I certainly think the DL outfits are nicer.
The fact that the new UA and the designer that had been working on the UA uniforms 'parted ways' is discouraging but not surprising. Who would want their name on uniforms made of cheesecloth-like material?

Clearly a different cut and, by all indications, a completely different material. For uniform wearers, I think fit and durability are a much bigger concern then style. Hopefully their concerns are addressed.

So when the next 10MM arrives in a hub, he can wear that and greet him
(Sorry for all the ladies...AFAIK...male have more chances in this case due to how the society evolves)

Here's an AFA update on the new uniforms. "Wear tests" are proceeding apace with the new garments.

These are OK I guess, but I wish for their sake they would do something more memorable. In good taste, of course.
You remember female attendants on a Silk Air or Singapore Airlines flight. Even on a Korean Air. Even Southwest has its own distinctive style. But on a United, it is, well, unremarkable.
Well, sizewize, unfortunately, United is simply a fair reflection of the state of American wastelines these days. Something we should do something about for all our sakes.
