New modern day costumes coming to American Adventure?

[The Empress Lilly]

Hah! I had a hunch the uniforms would be inspired by the modern outfit of the Voices of liberty. We know WDW by now, they're pefectly predictable. Their bad decisions unfold like a train wreck in slow motion, you can see it happening one painful step at a time.

Here it is:

That doesn't even look like a flight attendant. That looks like 'clueless clown'.

If you put a man in a suit, make him look sharp. No bright circus colours, no double-breasted when out of place, no gold-coloured buttons unless on a boat. Etc. The guy looks like a tool.
This costume is fit for Storybook Circus. Not for the dignified surroundings of the AA.

The ladies wear is slightly more palatable. In fact, fair's fair, perhaps not even all that bad! But still horribly misplaced in the AA.

Wait, I seen people dressed like that in a colonial building in CT! Makes perfect sense.

This is a decision that could easily be switched back and hopefully if enough people groan about it this won't last long...

 

[Pumbas Nakasak]

Looks smart, practical, more economical to up keep and in very patriotic colours. I think its a winner.

That would depend on how long the old costumes are kept around. If they are quickly tossed, the new designs are here until it can be justified to undergo the expense of designing and making another set of new costumes.

Well the old costumes will still be around as they are the same costume for the Hall of Presidents so maybe if we complain about how bad they are, (as do the cast members that have to wear them!) then they could easily go back to the original costume since they would still have them in stock for the Hall of Presidents cast.

 

[COProgressFan]

Not true. It's a colonial building, but not set in colonial times. We have plenty of colonial buildings here in CT that serve as courthouses, townhalls, schools, etc. The people inside dress in 2012 clothing.

But the colonial building in question is not in New Haven, but a theme park, with piped in colonial era music, a colonial fife and drum corps, etc. It explicitly is not the outside world and is designed to evoke some sort of semblance of time and place.

Add to that the fact that the costumes just look godawful....

I held off on passing judgement on the actual costumes....until now.

I dislike them very much. They do indeed look like flight attendant uniforms, or something else equally 1990s.

 

[TalkingHead]

I hope those of you who wanted Soarin' Over America are happy now.

 

[aladdin2007]

The new AA costumes are hideous,,,but I do like the new ones for Rose and Crown so far. Why Im not sure but those dont seem as bad.

So updating the AA uniform for females means tying a red scarf around this American Airlines FA outfit from 1976

Way to modernize.

 

[Lucille]

I also waited to see the drawing before I made a judgement. Wow....those are really hideous. They are WORSE than flight attendant outfits. And as someone else mentioned...very 1990's.

Well maybe the brilliant minds who made this decision thought AA stood for American airlines, not American Adventure, though flying American Airlines was an adventure LOL...

That is what happens when you do not enter the park you manage and have no idea what is actually IN your park...

So, yeah. Looks like

*sigh*

 

[Tiggerrules]

Those costumes are absolutely hideous. I feel for the CM's that end up with them. So much for keeping with an areas theme.

 

[John]

Oh Jimmmmmmmy oh Jimmmmmy.....where you at? I oh so want to hear your spin on this. please please please chime in.

 

[RSoxNo1]

It's nice to know they're going with the Janet Reno look for the men and the Monica Lewinsky look for the women.

 

[Cosmic Commando]

Anyone else think "Air France flight attendant" when looking at the hostess costume?

 

[nemofinder22]

Wow from the concept image the hostess costume looks a little bit like the ones from Minnie's Fly Girls Charter Airline show at DCA. Minus the hat, gloves, a different scarf and a different shade of blue.
