The U.S. Army has decided to go back the very classic design of the uniforms they wore back in World War II. “This uniform is one of the most admired and recognizable uniforms in the Army’s history. It was worn by soldiers during WWII and the Korean War,” Army spokeswoman, Heather J. Hagan, told The Daily Caller on Wednesday. “The reintroduction of this uniform is meant to inspire trust and confidence in our soldiers’ professionalism and readiness,” she added.

I´ve discovered the "Russian Collusion"...It´s in those ugly hats!!!
Just remember, the female O-5, I´ll call her Phyllis, who can´t even put her rank in the correct place made full bird for this.

Okay if there is no additional cost but I don´t see how this uniform can be made at the same cost as good old camo. Cleaning will involve more than tossing it into the washer.

I agree about their covers (hats). Just go back to the original design. If it aint broke, don´t fix it. Also, please consign those stupid looking berets to the dust bin.

“.....this uniform is meant to inspire trust and confidence in our soldiers’ professionalism and readiness,”
Imagine the difficulty of creating a dress code for restoring our trust and confidence in the FBI? Mueller, Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page and now Wray have done lasting damage to both the image and reality of the FBi.
As to the new old uniforms, the Army should be more concerned with attracting qualified recruits in a time of record low unemployment. President Trump’s remarkable economic success makes the decision to join the military much more difficult.

The hats look like a comic opera buffoon hat.
I was at an overlook in Vladivostok, looking over the city and the harbor, with lots of Russian Navy ships, with a number of other people just out to see the city.
A couple of Russian Navy officers came up, and it was all I could do to suppress a laugh whenever I saw their ridiculous hats. I didn´t see too many Russian naval officers in uniform, so the foolishness was hard to adapt to.
Ditch the embarrassing high-pointed hats. THAT looks like hell. Don´t make our best and brightest dress like fools. No more berets, either. Another really bad idea, apparently finally gone.

I believe this uniform was called "pinks and greens" back in the day.

I don´t remember the hats going so high in the front. I do agree that the camo were hideous and should have never been allowed off of base. The navy is the worst, Blue Camo, come on if your in the water waiting to be rescued the last thing you want on is CAMO

So why did the Army move away from the uniforms in the first place?

Trying hard to remember my career army father wearing a hat that looked like those Russian Army hats.

#10, I would bet, that if you took a 1940s US Army hat and measured from the rear/top of the brim to the top of the front crown area, those new ones are literally twice as tall.
They look ridiculous.
