Out with the greens, in with the blue. With a coat it looks great. Without the coat and with the white shirt it looks awful!

Between the berets and the ugly new white shirts, the Army is looking quite gay these days.

I would ‘lol’ but I am sure this more of a time of mourning than outright laughter.

The Army is joining the Air Force? pretty funny, considering the Air Force was once a branch of the Army.

The greens looked like warmed over dog poop.

The blue look like poop. At least that’s an improvement. They’d be better off if they just went back to Ike jackets.

FWIW, the uniform makes me think of a British bobby...

Ah yes; the Army and it’s never ending quest to make soldiers look like Panamanian generals.

Looks like they just decided to cut production costs and steal Air Force uniforms.

Does this smell like pEU, or am I off base here?

Here's a different photo showing the coat:

The yellow leg stripe is a nice touch (Plains Indians used to call the infantry "yellowlegs" because of their yellow-striped pants) and I wonder if the artillery guys will get red?

Still, this is going to look a lot like the Air Force blues to the uninitiated.

Light green is going to show the dirt less.

Looks a little too “Air Force” to me.

The Navy recently got rid of its summer white uniform for enlisted. There was great rejoicing since white attracts dirty like Clinton does a scandal.

It’s soooo encouraging to see that the Army is going to keep the dry cleaners in business.

Maroons.

The Army is just never going to get it. They keep changing the unform and cover it with all sorts of do-dads to improve moral, but never do anything of substance to instill service-wide warrior ethics. A proper uniform would highlight a vital few milestones for a heritage of victory.

looks like a gate guard at an air force base, should have gone back to the old khaki uniform

I'm sorry. I have never liked those berets.

They are just awful.

I think they should lose the Made in China berets (except for Special Forces) and go back to the garrison cap (piss-cutter) and the combination cover.

The blue uniforms date back to both Revolutionary and Civil Wars, and, as such, are a connection with an illustrious history.
