Some countries in Europe are also bringing back ww2 uniforms but Germany has some problems with it
Edit: wow thanks for the likes
Edit: To be honest that’s what’s I thought about for a while but thanks for the fact guys.
😆
Lmao you have to admit though. Those German uniforms did look pretty damn sharp.
I know
I want to wear some
lmao it'll be international problem for sure if germany wants to reuse ww2 uniform
That uniform looks way more "Army" than the others. I think they're awesome.
@Luke L. Watch your language berets look cool
It's what Eisenhower wore in lots of photographs.
I think they're ugly.
the O.D.S.T spartan nah, I don’t think the Berets are very American, it’s a commonwealth and French tradition, prefer the garrison caps and peaked caps, more traditional American.
The ones they're using now are more historical
I was in the Army from 1991 through 2015. We went through two uniform changes during that era. I liked the Army green uniform (more professional-looking of the two), but disliked the blue uniform; thought it looked like a parade-ground uniform. A few years before I retired, they gave us a survey about our preference as the future uniform. Hands down, I chose the WWII era uniform that the Army has now been accepted. I started out wearing the Battle Dress Uniform (BDU) for duty-use. Later, the Army switched over to the Army Combat Uniform (ACU) in the Universal Camouflage Pattern which shading reminded me of the WWI German army uniform; didn't like that either. I am proud to have worn the uniforms we had, but I would have really like to have had this new uniform.
I still have some BDUs from the early 90s. I still have a couple sets I wore in Desert Storm. Best uniform ever fielded.
@@springbloom5940 Are we going full circle then? Cause if there's any timeline that the US army was portrayed in a very good image, it has to be the second world war.
Thank you for your service.
The army green was better. They should bring back that one.
I love it! My dad was in WWII and when I look at the old pictures I am in awe of his uniforms. And trust me, I was United Stes Marine Corps recruiter so I know what a good looking uniform is.
As a Marine I always wondered why they had “dress blues”. This ‘new’ uniform is sharp and I hope they keep it indefinitely. Gotta love the classics!
Semper Fi! They remind me of the "Alphas", down to the belt. Of course, ours look better.
Union Army
I personally think it’s because of the tradition of Blue/Gold Uniforms going back to before the War of 1812. But I really like the new uniforms, they’re classy. Anyway, thank you for your service.
All the army hates them
No, I don't "gotta love the classics." This retro uniform makes the soldiers look like they are wearing oversized winter cloth coats. Bad fit, horrible draping. And LOOK AT THE HAT. My God...
They should bring trench coats too. Let's face it, ww2 military uniforms were the greatest fashion ever invented.
@array s Lol. we would die from heat stroke
Marine Corps still has them in the way of our All-Weather Coats
fashion was invented by war, as was rest of the stuff.
the scientific/cultural jumps we do during times of war are incredible
We have trench coats, they're the same blue as the rest of our dress uniforms
Ricardo Amado honestly
Several years they say, looks like we just gotta survive Covid, Cthulu, and WW3 first before we finally get it.
Sad that Germany will probably never be able to bring back theirs as it was a sexy uniform but will have a lot of controversy
But the Protokollsoldaten are dressed in grey like ww1 and ww2
Yeah they have their greys that look just like SS from WWII
The Waffen SS field gray uniform was very sharp. However that wont be coming back...Under ANY circumstances..Have the Germans considered the World War1 uniform?. Also very sharp. In fact, for their armored troops, how about the Deaths Head Hussars Uniform? Google Field Marshal August von Mackensen for a look at it.
Hugo Boss designed them. Sexiest uniforms
The NVA uniforms were lit
Yes the old world war two uniforms were more army.thats what my dad WANTED and was buried in.
@Rich Santoro THANK you and GOD BLESS
Im sitting on my couch, breathing free air because of your Dad.
Thank you for loaning us your Daddy, to keep us safe while we sleep.
Respect to your father for serving in the most unbelievable war in human history.
@Rich Santoro what generation?
m1ksu they’re known as the greatest generation bahaua
THEY SHOULD have KEPT IT THE WAY IT WAS 80 YRS AGO
E Kop agreed, they should have.
Should have
@Richard Foran lol, k
Uh no
@Richard Foran I detect a little communism
Enlisting this summer, I can't wait to get those!! Can't go wrong with a classic.
This uniform most definitely brings back the way the army should look!
People don't understand how important it is for each brach to have distinctive uniforms. Especially the cover uniform that each branch is represented in; weather that's Dress Blue Bravos in the Marines.
Or the classic Pinks and Greens look for the army, uniforms are a significant part of the service.
I love how the woman was like ‘whatever ‘. Dude’s like ‘check out the belt!’
She clearly didn't think it was necessary, but of course....PR and all that. She can't be saying bad things about who employs her ;P
@@jenniferhiemstra5228 You'd think she'd at least be psyched about the big hat she got, but I guess not.
@@jakelamarca895 They have to pay for them themselves, it also costs money to maintain them so depending on which branch in the Army she's in, it's just extra work and money spent for a uniform that you'd normally not wear.
@@Nghilifa ok yeah that's annoying
Sharp, Army's old look is now a new look. Always thought those WW2 uniforms just had more style and class.
Right On I thought those Blue or Black one looked Stupid with White Shirts
@@jeffbanner4580 I can't wait till this happens to the Air Force too, which is what I'm joining
They look almost as good as the navy’s dress whites
Daniel Rodriguez what if I told you they give $40,000 bonus to new recruits?
I make paper books and comics, sometimes war books, and I always draw them in WW2 era style clothes. So great
This looks so sharp
Fun fact: If you collect and study WWII uniforms and other militaria, you'll find that the Army Green Service Uniform used to be strictly for officers during the Second World War. Enlisted men used to have a chocolate brown or olive drab Class A service coat w/ M37 wool service trousers. After WWII, they switched to the dark green Class A, then to the Dress Blues, and now we revert back to the classic AGSU, also known as the Pinks and Greens, which were worn by officers and generals during WWII. It was distinguished by the different trouser color and the olive drab service belt on the coat. The original WWII photos you see of enlisted men with their Class A's have a black leather belt around it supported by the hooks there used to be on the back of the Class A's. The officers had the olive drab gabardine (poly/wool) belt. As you can tell, I love to ramble about World War Two uniforms lmao
As a new recruit who's grandfather wore this I can't wait to get mine.
You’re going to love it when the military changes uniforms every few years and makes you pay for half when that money could be going to utility bills.
Женя Марик tf are you on about? Acid trip?
If your a new recruit your great-grandfather wore it, but not your grandfather..
Jay K by 2028 every member of the army would have to use this uniform? Meaning that the actual camo uniform won’t be able to be used unless you are deployed in the field area? Like a recruiter or another soldier that he’s job isn’t in the field won’t be able to use the camo uniform?
SFC-A - idk man I thought the same but my friend who is 19 had a grandfather who fought in WW2
I'm all for the army looking like the army
The Army dress uniform was pretty sharp looking but it definitely didn't say "I'm in the Army"
But no Fat Sergeants are Allowed ! 😅🤣😂😁
The Army isn't all for looking like the Army. For pretty much all of the 21st century, they've been trying desperately to look like the Marines. They've been failing at it too. Marines look sharp whether we're home in our dress blues picking up your girlfriend, or overseas in our MARPAT FROG suits and coyote brown armor. The Army's just trying to play catch up.
BOTH my ww11 veteran grandfathers would be happy to hear and see this. There smiling down on us from there happy place right now, they would be so proud.
@@MrEvanfriend Yeah you definitely sound like a boot fresh out of basic. Army, Coast Guard, Air Force, and Marines all have the same mission. All under the same flag. Quit being a snot.
I like how they added that part about the guy's granddad at the end. "If the uniform was good enough for this dude to score her, then it's good enough."
Good lord. That handshake at 1:35 is pretty powerful.
Bring Hugo Boss back, the Germans need another fire uniform
German WW2 uniforms were just normal german uniforms in prussian tradition and not specially designed out of nowhere. Hugo Boss just produced them, the design had nothing to do with him. The SS-Uniforms were the ones that were new, but the designer was Karl Diebitsch, an SS-Officer. Boss again just produced them (and he wasn't the only producer of uniforms). This Hugo Boss hoax needs to end.
@@RundfunkerOnline finally someone who knows his history!
@Frenchy hugo boss didn't change the design ; don't fall for wehraboo propaganda.
@Frenchy that is a opinion but it has nothing to do with Hugo boss
Lol
It would be nice if they visited WWII vets wearing those
That was 75 years ago. They are all gone now.
@@studinthemaking theres some still alive...
studinthemaking there’s 400,000 still alive
studinthemaking definitely not all gone but slowly all are fading away
Before it's too late!
French here, loving these new uniforms, they are very, very good looking and you can be very proud to wear them
Sometimes you can’t deny how older stuff has a certain level of class behind it. Looks sharpe. Good go Army.
The United States Army has the " Pinks and Greens" of World War II, however, the Dress Blues harkens back to the Civil War and the Indian Wars.
Even earlier than that; back to the Mexican War of the 1830s
Even further back Revolutionary war *kinda and war of 1812
Bearhunter 36 close. Mostly Frenchman for the revolutionary I would imagine
John Rodriguez
Stop calling them "pinks n greens". There's no pink on our uniforms. My great grandfather and grandfather called them "dress khakis".
@@Sig721Tau Sir, I didn't invent the term. Many Americans through out Military History, in reference to the World War II used that phrase 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🗽⚔️
Keeping Traditions. I wish they had these when I served.
Me too. These are sharp
Wore the Dress Green Uniforms, Class A/B aka Pickle Uniforms
@@spuds94bravo56yep same. I couldn't fit in mine now.. 😁
@@spuds94bravo56 The greens are much more better to be worn as service uniform.
I still wear my pickle A’s for ceremonies. I wonder if I can get hooked up with these
Wish they would update some of it, that buckle is definitely smaller than thee one his dad had back in the day, less metal is cheaper though.
I was in during the "pickle suit" class A era. I think they were better than the blues but these throwbacks blow them both away. Well damn, command got something right.
yes...bring back the eisenhower jacket!!!
The "Ike Jacket." I've always been a fan of that.
I used to wear my dad's Eisenhower jacket when I was a kid. I think moths eventually got it, and mom threw it out. I wish she hadn't done that...
@RingSight91 is there somebody named Dutch Holland i am from the Netherlands and that sound like the weirdest name i have ever heard
@@010Jordi "Dutch" Holland was the nickname of James Stewart's character in the movie "Strategic Air Command." It was a movie that was made in cooperation with SAC (Strategic Air Command) released in 1955. Great Movie. Highly recommend it. It is one of James Stewart's best movies. In addition to being an actor, James Stewart was also in the United States Air Force. He retired as an United States Air Force Brigadier General.
SouthTexasPrepper Don’t forget his tours in WWII as a bomber pilot!
countries: hey guys lets be our old selves again, no one to judge us and we will all be fine and happy like the old times!
germany, italy, japan: *sweats nervously*
hey, don't forget Austria, why does everyone always forget Austria was a willing part of the German empire since 1938
@EpiDemic117 I assume you mean ww1, right?
soviet union Ikr? Austria wasn’t a victim, Austrians voted 97% in favor of the Anschluss lmao
@@zrowe0233 admittedly the voting paper was a little biased, but still it would have won very easily anyway
{ww3 bonus meme}
ww3 starts:
Germany: so austria...
Austria: way ahead of you (pulls out german flag)
soviet union Well yeah, the “Yes” circle was significantly bigger than the “No” circle, but Austrian Germans wanted unification ever since the end of ww1
"Do I have to answer that honestly?" Yep, question answered.
its 2021, I cant WAIT for the army to start using these, they look classic and I love it
That belt is going to prove "problematic" for the hefties hiding in the ranks.
As Charles Chaplin once said " we all have to fasten the belten "
That's most likely the idea.
Especially in the flag ranks. Don't think Schwartzkopf would have looked too good in this uniform.
They should be in shape too.
A lot of girdles will be needed!
Great change...nothing looked sharper than a U.S. Army Paratrooper with the Eisenhower jacket.brown Jump boots and the Garrison cap with the glider patch!
Ex Airborne Infantry Vietnam.
soldiers need a uniform to represent their own accolades. That uniform makes me proud of my grandpas effort. The current soldier is a little lost when I see pictures of them wearing it.
My dad was glider infantry and kept his uniform his whole life
its the deeds of the man that give the uniform its pride not the colors
Airborne divisions will wear the jump boots with this new class A’s
Mr. Delgado-- AATW-- interested in jumping again? From a C-47? Wearing M1942's?
My basic training company in 1983 were the ones that got the first BDU camouflage field jackets. The BDU duty uniforms had be out for a couple years. But not field jackets. So we also got the old olive drab green ones. And I was last in line. So I was the soldier at Ft. Dix to get the very last green field jacket out of the last box that was ever issued there. We were told we couldn't wear the camouflage ones until the whole Fort was issued them. That was May, 5, 1983. My company A63 was the only company to be issued 2 field jacket. 1 old and 1 new.
Which did you prefer
0:42 can someone explain what the red and green shoulder cord means? Thank you.
Why did you join the army private?!!!!
To get this cool new uniform Sergeant!
Stuck for 3 years afterwards ;)

and what did the lieutenant say after that?
Ghosts1912 worth it
The Army and the Airforce were the only two land forces with a good free way to travel, I never was on a vacation, and the Army and Airforce got to go to Europe and that's what I wanted and got to do. I heard the Air Force had poor advancement opportunities so I joined the Army and traveled to most of the western European countries only advanced to E4 but my job as a Radio Op. only had two E5 but that was OK. had a ball. in between wars at the time.
@@eogg25 so you join the military for the travels not to serve your country?
Marine uniforms are still the sharpest. But yes this is an improvement
funny how the new dress blues for them look like plain run of the mill Marine Corps service Alphas
Nothing beats the Germans
WolfPlayer yeah.. the Marines do. Actually it took 5 Marines beat an entire German division.
Ya it time to change the marine uniform to maybe pink for them
@@thorne79us The Army dress blues are what you see at 0:14, and they actually date back to the 1930s. These aren't dress blues, they're a service uniform, and they're not even the same color as the Marine service uniform. This uniform is several shades of brown. The Marine service uniform is green and khaki.
All that can be said is, "Outstanding". Each branch needs to readily identifiable, distinct, and have it's own characteristic look. They did well.
In the franco-prussian war, the french wore nostalgic uniforms of the napoleonic area of bright blue and red, they were defeated decisively by the germans who wore innovative new all grey uniforms that blend and camouflage.
Those who look to the past to their “glory days”, are bound not to excel in the present setting. You need to always be ready to adopt change, and new ideas. New uniforms reflecting the present and future instead of the past is just the first step.
Damn ... I like it ... as a former US Marine ... the Army Greens look sharp 👍🏻
Anthony Luisi Corps will always look sharper 😉
Anthony Luisi
I’m retire SSG Army, they do look good, but if we’ll all come to the lick log, still no match the the Corps dress uniform
Anthony Luisi Still not as good as Marines uniform though
The US needs to Cut the Military Budget
Native no they need to increase it
Always loved the old dress uniforms, they were iconic in their own right and are a huge standout. Seeing these uniforms again would make me think that the Army was stuck in time, in a good way.
Kenneth Bowers yeah a time when congress actually declared war. A time when war was necessary! Dam what would that be like.
Something you don’t want to mess with
Now you just answered _why_ this pathetic propaganda is being forwarded in this time... emotional appeal to a bygone glory. Idiotic propaganda to present a clean new face on a dirty old dog, just like giving _everyone_ berets was... 🤦♂️ effing DoD _Clowns._
Infidel Apostate well said
Infidel Apostate Well, though I agree it is a recruitment tactic and a way to make the Army look clean and new, I still feel that these uniforms are better.
I don't think the Army Dress Uniform looks like the Marines or Air Force. I like it a lot actually. But the "Pinks and Greens" are so badass
Going back to the Classic. I love it.

Don’t know about everyone else but I love he new uniforms.
Hi 👋 true I loved his uniform 😍
It's about time. Used to be called olive drab.
The WWII era Army uniforms are simply iconic. I think they're the sharpest of all our military dress uniforms. Ever. They really exude America, pride, attention, and leadership. But they're very sharp and appealing as a design anyway even without the military. I think a lot of the style that came out of the post art-deco era was fantastic. 1940s era men's double breasted suits and women's dresses were all very stylish and really timeless designs.
To be honest I don't care for the pink and greens.
The Germans were better
@@mikkodoria4778 The late-30s designs by Hugo Boss for the German Army and the SS were incomparable.👍
I love the WW2 era uniform. This is awesome.
Which one Usa one or German one because I'm confused
@@hashiramasenju6072 the US one, because he said " i love the ww2 era uniform" so he is referring to the uniform in the video
That's a gorgeous uniform. I wish I was back in the Army now.
Basically what the British Army have been using as standard for decades now.
Hopefully this ends the Army's wardrobe malfunction of the past 15 years. the Universal Camo Pattern and switch to ASU were mistakes. OCP and the Army Greens are the way to go.
Garrett Dalley agreed. They absolutely nailed those decisions.
@@Xpistos510 lol its going to change again because army
Garrett Dalley : Bring back the TW.
They need to put the dress blues back the way they were before they cannibalized them to make the ASU. At 0:14, you can see that the 3rd Infantry Regiment still pretty much wears the same old dress blues. They took one look at the ASU and said, "Nope. We're gonna keep our stuff the way it is."
No "wardrobe malfunction" of the Army could ever compete with the "blueberries" working uniform the Navy tried. Good riddance to that train wreck.
"Are you an airline pilot" "no I'm Army" LMFAO😂
Exactly the reason for the new uniform!
Airline pilot were the McPeak disaster of the Air Force...
When I was in the ARMY back in the late 60s and early 70s, I worked with the AF in Berlin for about 6 months. The kidded us about being doggies, but we got even by asking them if they were drivers for Greyhound. Their dress uniforms were very similar to bus drivers, at least to us. :)
You may want to fix the misspelling in the description.
Looks just like my father did, he served in the Pacific in WWII, The occupation of Japan, the Korean conflict and finally, Vietnam. We buried him in his old Army uniform, with all his medals... and the belt. the Army Liaison Officer who helped us plan his funeral was very impressed, both with his service and the way he looked in it.
I just wish that they had decided to change the dress uniform before I left the service!
I'm for it if does nothing but bring back the garrison cap and the saucer cap. I hated wearing the beret for two reasons: First, I didn't EARN it. It should have been reserved for SF, Ranger, and Airborn, period. Secondly, it's really hard to make the beret look good.
I agree 100%. I remember the day I saw my son in a black beret that was issued to him unlike the one I
EARNED with blood sweat and tears 20 years earlier. Even he said it wasn’t right. At least he did his training at Ft Benning same as I did, of course his barracks had heating and A/C lol. I’m proud of him for his service though, and that will never go away. He’s a disabled veteran now and so I’m kinda ok with him having a black beret same as his dad, he’s earned it now.
@@prepperjonpnw6482 God bless him, and you too. I spent 21 years in reserve components without ever seeing combat. You can just imagine how uncomfortable I felt in the beret. But I'm proud of my two Marine sons, with their many deployments, and my Army son currently in a hot zone.
You forgot the 3rd reason the Beret isn't practical... It didn't keep the sun out of your eyes when you were in the Motorpool all day.
They brought the berets back? When I was getting out in 2012 we were getting orders that we were to wear softcaps only.
@@Caedus696 Dunno, I retired in 2011. i just know the beret was impractical.
Spent 16yrs in Army, went through many uniforms, always wanted these Army Greens, so professional and iconic, not the best look for females though. I've always loved the style.
Why'd you not stay for 4 more years to get pension or do u already have the pension?
The marines have stolen your date
Pooh Xi reminds me of the picture I have of my grandfather when he was Sargent in the Soviet military. The picture is of him and his men next to a burning Panzer tank when they took Berlin.
Never underestimate females tho they can still hold off an enemy force. For example after Russia had lost 11 million soldiers and individuals that where 18 and male made up just 2 percent of the population they began to have female snipers etc and it worked out well for us.
@@erichkaufmann5284 World War 2 Soviet female snipers were legendary.
The only thing I would change about this uniform is the service cap; the "crushed" look was more an Army Air Force thing because pilots wore headphones over their caps. Also I've seen concepts of the Ike jacket making a return, I hope it does. It would be a great alternative to the coat for less formal situations as it was originally designed to be worn in the field.
Definitely. Shows you're in shape. Besides; MASH that was the dress uniform.
I can’t wait to get this uniform! I’m going to basic training in November and we’re getting this uniform! I’ve been fitted already and it looks way better in personn
I love this guy talking
“You gotta admit... it looks pretty sharp”
Yea, instead of being mistake for an airline pilot...people with think he's an actor in a WWII movie....I guess it is the uniform that makes the man.
I'm absolutely excited to have this uniform in service and can't wait for mine!
I’m not nor will I ever be a military man. But this fills me with pride for my country, for the military, and for the respect we give to the last living WWII members. And all those that are no longer with us.

Well said.
I feel like the main point of introducing this “new” uniform is to distinguish the army from the air force since they recently got ocp (like they need it 🤦♂️).
People made fun of the ABU and now they're making fun of the Air Force wearing the OCP ACU. Can't please anyone
@@seangilbert7365 Because they dont need it. Unless they are in special operation, sitting behind a desk does not call for camo.
@@GTBANNA OCP is still better than ABU because
A. It's better at camouflaging the wearer. The USASOC already fielded the OCP, so why not
B. Having 1 less camouflage to buy means less cost (Instead of having 2 type of rollers, you just need 1) and it streamline the process
C. Better logistic. Instead of sending 2 types of camouflage (ABU and OCP) to the AFB in country, you just send 1 type because everyone uses it.
Pink and Greens literally was one of the greatest distinguished and respectable look for the Army.
“like it or not”

@@julianoppenheimer2748 New retro uniform looks sloppy and baggy, and simply does NOT drape well over the body. Sloppier than the dress blue uniform, if that's even possible.

That female staff sergeant doesn't realize how sharp she looks in that new uniform. She looks like a soldier, instead of a clown.
She's cute too! Now just a little of the "WW2" glam red lipstick...
We’ll be fair it’s not our decision to make..take for example the infamous acu. That was the worst Uniform ever!!! Sad part is 5 billion went into it ( don’t ask me where it went) but we had to wear them no concealment purpose whatsoever but we had to.

Looks good, and has traditional roots. Looks are inspiring, and the woman that designed them did a awesome job!
How about stop changing the uniform every 5 years? Although I do like the old WW2 pinks and greens. Keep the beret for airborne, Ranger and SF units. Bring back the Ike jacket for Senior NCOs and Officers too.
@phillyphilhouse79 ...I agree, I wish my Rangers still had the Black Beret....
It wouldn't be the army of they didn't change stuff every five years. The problem is that everyone is trying to leave his mark before he retires and they aren't very creative.
How else are the companies that make the uniforms gonna stay in business then?🤷🏼♂️
Jerry Young you know they still have to make uniforms if the design doesn’t change right? Let’s put tax dollars to a better use than a flashy new kit.
Stop calling the WWII khaki dress uniform "pinks n greens". They were never called that by the soldiers and the uniforms never had the color 'pink' in it.
Space force is getting their old uniforms back as well. You know the ones from Star Wars.

I don't know which is the Marines and which is the Navy, because i'm not arguing with either one
The United States Marine is the sharpest, best dressed military person in the world. That comes from a 30 year army man.
@@williamturner1517 you ain’t a army man shut up liar! The marines uniform sucks it looks ugly. The army is bigger and better and has way better uniforms ! HOOAH 😤
@@thewrenchmaster122 preach my brother hoorah!!!
I'm an old Marine and all I have to say is this is an outstanding, sharp uniform choice....well done Army! My old man was a paratrooper in the 101st. He wore that uniform and wood be proud. Now bring back the Ike jacket!
Damn...that should have said would be proud. I had a senior moment. 😎
@@garybryant7274 I think you had it right the first time. We would have "wood" just wearing that uniform!
Wood....that's what I get for not reading what I wrote before I post it! Thanks for being merciful! 😎👍
I'm a retired Army Active/National Guard Warrant Officer and possibly a little known fact is that enlisted soldiers were issued new uniforms, boots, dress shoes when they came out but officers and warrant officers had to purchase these items. There was a $100 uniform allowance every year, though while grateful to receive it, didn't go very far.
Hopefully for current soldiers, they'll stick with the uniforms currently in service and not change their mind again like they seem to do whenever someone up the chain of command gets a wild hair up their backside.
You never know with bureaucrats, lol
i like the look of these new „oldschool-style“ uniforms. they looked sharp back in the day and the new version, may i call it like that, does that job pretty well too
When my grandfather passed away, his best friend who he knew for 60 years, wore his full army dress greens from ww2 with all of his medals and ribbons, combat stripes, etc on it. They were both veterans who served in three wars each
Nothing compared to Hugo Boss uniforms.
If Germany denazified the ww2 unis and replaced the swastikas with their current symbols they could still be in those
Mack Kline true
They all copied from him
Mack Kline I doubt that they’d like having SS runes on their uniforms. Or are we talking about the Wehrmacht?
More art than effective uniforms for a soldier
I really miss hearing this relaxing kind of news
Hey sir... Whose uniform is that on 45 secs?
Army should have kept the old ww2 uniforms they say more army then the blue ones
Even German Luftwaffe is nearly the same like WW2. But modern German Army uniform sucks too.
Modern uniforms all look simply like some accountant's suit for the day....
Meanwhile the marines just never changed the uniforms to look like bus driver outfits
You know the Marines have a service uniform green and khaki and color also. I think it looks even better that the Army's new one.
Sean Knoll theyre classic even if they’re very uncomfortable to wear with the shirt stays and scratchy fabrics
@@scot_irsh The Marines uniforms have always looked better.
@@damone70 that’s your opinion! I think the army uniforms are better. The Army is better bigger and richer.
Marines uniforms look like they are going to play a dam trumbone
Old video and older "new" uniforms, but they look great! The blues did just seem to me to be something I would expect an air force to wear.
I'm British but think the American uniform of WW2 was incredibly smart, and the men who wore it were a wonderful generation of men Heroic, a very good move.
A uniform of duty, discipline and perseverance. A soldier’ uniform to be honest.
Nothing beats a classic. My grandfathers wore that type of uniform back in WW2.
When you look good, you feel good. And when you feel good, you work hard and your proud of who you are.
Your statement says it all.
My Grandfather use to tell me about his Savay Row tailored dress greens and pinks.
That’s is so very cool. I can’t believe I didn’t know about this sooner. Way to go Army
Me, an Army vet: I'm so glad to have my DD-214 Blanket, wow
Also me: LET ME IN! LET MEEE IIIIIIIIIIN!!!!
Good Eric Andre reference.
Please tell me they are going to bring back the Eisenhower jacket.
Ron Nichols dude that would be awesome
They are!
Tyler Peters Alright imma talk to my SGT. tommorow
I hope so. That was so awesome. I've been out since 04, but we used to talk about wanting this style back in the army, especially the Eisenhower jacket. But didn't Ike have the jacket designed specially for him?
Bill Marion oh nice you probably could get one since you are a retired veteran
My recruiter in Louisiana wore this uniform when he picked me up for the asvab verification and I loved the look I am do glad I am joining when this is being used cuz I could have te same style as my great grandfather
Lol be sure you’re not going to ft Jackson because they are still issuing dress blues at basic training.
Thanks a lot .
The new uniform looks REALLY good if you ask me. I agree with it being iconic, and a great symbol of the army.
Very sharp Army!
From: a Marine.
Hooah!
Art Gamechanger Semper~fi brother
Like the old saying goes, "if it ain't broken, why fix it."
Instant Classic going retroactive.
I still can’t move on from the fact that Hugo boss made the German uniform during ww1-2
