New Napkins!!!
Perhaps I've missed the thread, but I haven't seen any discussion of the new napkins.
I'm glad to see that the tacky, ca. 2012 self-congratulatory napkins are being phased out in favor of a more straightforward design. I don't know how I feel about the use of the negative space of the globe logo as an additional branding element, though.

It is funny.
I noticed them about a week ago on a UAX flight. I was going to snap a picture and post about it, but something must have distracted me as I forgot all about it.
It is actually a bit understated, in a good way. Just the United logo without any marketing drivel.
I hated the old napkins and turned them over to be just plain white. In fact, on one flight I had a little game going with my FA on a TPAC flight. She would always turn them back over whenever she served a drink.

Funny thread...for all of my 300+ segments since the merger, I haven't once cared about the napkin as long as I was given one!
I couldn't describe the napkin if someone put a gun to my head. Are people really excited about a new napkin?

totally forgot about this! got them as early as 3/16 ex-EWR.
no .bomb advertising! for that reason alone, it's a change i like.
opposite side is plain white IIRC.
