Why would they? Do you think this is the first time Lands' End has made a coat or pair of pants?

I wouldn't feel professional serving customers in these outfits, and based on some of the grumbling I've overheard in the galleys on recent flights, many Delta employees feel the same way - one FA's young daughter would not stop laughing at the fact that this is what her mom now has to wear to work.

I think they’ll look great.
I’m curious, were any design changes made after the trial period?
UALFAson wrote:While I don't dislike them based on the YouTube videos, purple and grey are interesting color choices as they're not colors immediately identifiable with Delta Air Lines. Uniforms, in theory, are an extension of a company's branding. Seeing employees walk through an airport in these uniforms will not make them recognizable as Delta employees versus WOW or some other airline. Hard to follow up on the signature red dress, I suppose.

Yes, several. Many of them were a bit subtle, but one of the most noticeable to the men's uniform is that they darkened the gray much to everyone's relief including my own.
The women aren't too thrilled about the new uniform, and I honestly don't blame them. Many of them have made comparisons to Stepford Wives meets Austin Powers meets Willy Wonka. However, we all found out later that they can wear the men's uniform under the condition they wear it for at least one year.

So it appears as always mixed reviews and can’t keep everyone happy. DL seems very focused on employee engagement, I’m sure they wouldn’t be rolling out a uniform that wouldn’t go down well with the majority of employees. They have a 5 part mini docu on their YouTube, seems they made hundreds of changes following the wear tests.

Oh ugh! No way. Just say no! The female FA’s should NOT be able to wear the men’s uniform! No no no! They will look like they did in the awful Leo Mullin era gray, boxy uniforms.
Wasn’t there something about the lapel on the men’s jacket?
Will there be pink versions for breast cancer awareness month?

Bastian said Delta conducted a study and found that even frequent travelers could not pick out Delta’s uniformed employees from United’s and American’s.
“It’s a sea of navy out there with a lot of domestic carriers,” said Delta employee Chad Holmes.
With the new uniforms and the plum color, Bastian said: “We want to stand out. We want to make a statement.”

If so, this guy needs to get in there ASAP. If the company pays for it, it should be required to get your outfit fitted/tailored. That is one of he problems I have with United pilots/FAs... In United’s case, the company will pay for fitting/tailoring, but people are just too damn lazy to go do it. As a result, they look like sh*t. Kinda like this guy on the left. But, as I said, I like the look of the female dress much more than I did when they were first unveiled.

Overall, they are consistently amongst the most professional in appearance in their peer group.

Every airline pilot looks alike to me.
