They're actually not as bad as I thought they'd be based on the first illustrations. Not exactly universally flattering, but they're not terrible either.

Flight attendants are one thing, but I don't even "get" what the other costumes are supposed to represent or resemble. They're neither "professional" looking, or reflective of the setting. They just look like sloppy fast food employees.

Yuck. How generic.

It looks like they needed to use some surplus fabric from Pan Am's short run...absolutely disgusting all around.

Agreed. Generic theme park uniforms. While the "Colonial Williamsbug" style outfits may have been out of date, they at least created a sense of place. These don't have much to do with the U.S. besides being the same colors as the flag.

I typically try to keep a positive view on changes, but these are just...disappointing. This just seemed so unnecessary. That said, I could see how the cast members might appreciate the change (especially the ladies), from a logistical and comfort perspective, at least.

It appears the reason for the change was because the American Adventure and American Pavilion as a whole were never meant to transport you back in time to colonial times that is what Liberty Square is for. The update is to provide a more timeless look for the CMs since the AA covers up until post 9-11 and not just colonial history.

They are just awful. They look like employees at Chuck-E Cheese. And they probably weren't made in America either!!

And they appear to do a horrible job of that, unless your idea of a timeless look is 60s/70s Pan Am flight attendants.

I agree.
I'm sure the costumes are far more comfortable, and easy to put on/take off, but Disney's Creative Costuming department can come up with ways to use new/different fabrics and assemblies, while maintaining the same look as before.

Good grief, they are even worse than I imagined.
The flight attendant costume is one thing, but what one earth are those cheap fastfood costumes even about?
What a sad bunch of uniforms. They drag down the entire pavilion.

American Adventure (the attraction) costumes look better than I thought, but I'm still not entirely a fan. They are going to age quickly, even though I felt they are out of style already.
Merchandise costume looks very tasteful. It looks professional, contemporary, comfortable, approachable, classic, and gives a slight USA vibe without overdoing it.
Food & Beverage costumes are the worst, in my opinion. They look cheap and tacky. I'm not sure if they trying to look like something from a baseball game or if they are trying to be professional. The pants are find, the shirt makes it worse, and the baseball hat really cheapens the costume. Sure it screams USA, but not in the way I feel fits the building and the overall pavilion message.
