The old(current) uniform was much better than this new version. The BA crew stood out. Now with this new uniform they will get lost in the crowd. It's looks like any other airline. Sometimes tradition works. From someone who used to wear the BA crew uniform, I was always proud to put it on, with the new one ...not so much. So much more could have been done. Disappointing really.

You couldn’t even see the uniforms in this ad.

I'm so glad I wore the last uniform. It always felt fantastic with a red lip. The good old days before the pandemic.

People hating like they gonna wear them 😂

Can we do a vote across all of the staff at BA, old uniform vs new uniform? If old uniform wins then forget this new uniform😬

Makes the US airlines uniforms look like high fashion.....

Gone down like a lead balloon with staff 95% of the work feed is full of negative comments. Complete waste of money. Ill be donating mine to charity

The Jumpsuit interesting idea, but at 35,000ft in the air going to the loo gonna be a struggle

Introducing the new uniforms with a totally back lit video?

Wasted video - why did they not show the uniforms properly - far too dark to see - cameraman/producer need to rethink this.

So BA posts a video about a new uniform that doesn't actually show the uniforms in any clear discernible way? What was the point of this video? Wouldn't a runway show have been better? Unless BA isn't actually keen on the new uniforms? I'm so confused.

THEY NEED TO TAKE HIS GODDAMN OBE AWAY FOR THIS

Are they on a strict budget? The only design or concept I like is "The Trench Coat" for Pilots!

I had a just started with BA as cabin crew in March 2020, then covid happened so I was laid off with the rest of my group. I could have restarted but in the meantime had set up my own business as an artist and am happily continuing doing that….if I’d gone back to BA, I’d have been absolutely gutted with this disappointing uniform….it’s not even a uniform, it doesn’t stand out at all….BA, your uniform is perhaps THE most important brand element and you’ve totally missed a trick here….you can’t even see it properly in this ad…it’s hidden and concealed behind the sun…..if it was a brilliant design, you’d have had it standing out proudly! Very disappointing. Virgin and EasyJet are going to eclipse you. I’ll stick to my studio overalls! 🎼”Come paint with me……, come paint, come paint away…..”🎼😂🎨

Now it looks the same as every other airline uniform

"the diversity, the nuance of it" is tosh

It is really fresh but not classy and posh enough!!!! They should add they shiny metallic badges to make the BA crew stand out! This will be perfect. No uniform should be without its airline logo, bold and proud!

I can't believe BA actually paid for this. I don't know how anyone can feel good about themselves in potato sack collection.

Looks like American Airlines from the 90s

The jumpsuit thing looks hideous! Why a constant race to the bottom and copying everyone else? The old uniform was elegant, timeless and now it just looks woke and following the crowd.

Reducing the union flag down to blue and white squiggles on a red neckerchief and tie is quite sad. The previous really stood out and had a serious degree of class. This is more akin to something you'd see on a charter airline. Appreciate things need a refresh but there are elements of the BA Brand, notably the union flag and speedbird emblem that are absolutely integral to the design!/brand and always should be. The moment you take those elements out of the equation is the moment you dilute the visual identity and it changes people's perceptions and starts to get lost in the crowd.

This is very radical….why did they change the design of the wings for pilots and cabin crew?

Britishistan

I’m disappointed BA your old uniform was timeless, dignified and unique this looks like easyJet (hint hint low cost airline) with a hint of red. You are slowly but surely eroding everything that made you our flag carrier and made British Airways British Airways.

Nope

Oswald B x BA I am here for it.

Why are the arms red? They look like Jet2 cabin crew. Was he thinking of the right airline when designing these?

Is the scarf in the coffee when bending ?

All these people complaining about the BA uniform when we know they'll only fly Ryanair anyway 🤡...

Why aren't they just showing the uniform? Its always dark and grainy with a weird angle. Cut the boetang spiele and show the jumpsuits

Great video skills but you didn't actually let us have a good look at the uniform!

They would have done better to invest in the well-being of the aircrew by finally offering them quality shoes.

Quite a downgrade from the old uniforms

BA has gone on my boycott list! Well done!

Can british airways make documentary about pilot

Reminiscent of New Coke 🥤 😂 #SkyBaum

Just read news about the slide deploy after opening emergency door by the worker. I noticed that slide unfolds too close and Infront of the engine. Anyone can explain me that that's ok. Video: British airways Aircraft slide deploy

Absolutely rotten 🤢🤢 old was so much better!!

Was this supposed to be a reveal? Fantastic ad and production; but gives very little away. The strategy of snippets and awkward angles, dramatic music and ambient light revealing very little of the uniforms themselves, make me wonder if it’s a marketing agency tactic to dress up what even they thought was something quite ordinary. Let’s hope I’m proven wrong!

Promote the aruba flight at the 2023 baseball world cup.

Please why did you cancel your London to Indy flight? I was hoping it would happen because I’m a plane spotter their and we need better planes. Pls British airlines

Reminds me of a potato bag 😱

Why does a video on a uniform give me the chills? 😭

All about Ozwald Boateng, not a new uniform. Looks cheap.

Who was that?

I wish the staff was as courteous as those on Emirates, JAL, Korean Air, Swiss, Qatar and Etihad but no what we get is a rough sounding and ill-mannered people in some what passable and over-hyped tailoring.

Have to admit the old uniform seemed better, but time will tell.

Can’t see it

Make the flights like for a £40

Looks like Turkish Airlines🇹🇷

Air America. Prince Hall Lodge.

This is just a knee-jerk reaction to Virgins new uniform. Even down to the filming location. Terribly un-original marketing really, and we didn't even see the uniforms!

Old uniform please (sorry)

Love!

The British don’t want to redefine what it means to be British. I will no longer fly BA

They say they started with "the why", which means they purchased some overpriced, overhyped Simon Sinek-inspired consulting sessions.

#deltaairlines #delta

One of my favourite air line British airways

It’d. E cool to be a pilot

Happy New year 2023 everyone ✨🎇🎉

British Airways use to mean something, the uniform design is awful, it looks cheap and nasty. Compare this to Virgin Atlantic's Westwood uniform or Ryanair's and if a low budget airline has you licked, it's time to call a meeting.

Is this an amateur film?

IAG management is destroying this brand

BA goes woke. Again.

init bruv

Lol it's crazy how they'll show everything so many times but not show the new hijab even the sikh tuban although there are barely any sikhs in the uk compared to Muslims

So,black is the new white lol

What an ugly uniform, as ex crew myself, I’d be so unhappy if I was made to wear that. 😢

This is a comedy sketch, correct?

Aviation became a circus

To Fly. To Serve. ❤️

The old uniform was boring, but this takes it to a new level of bland! There was so much potential to be bold and have a uniform that stood out a bit more - where people look and know that they are BA staff. It's just so forgettable - they were talking about new uniforms back in 2015 - even before Boateng came on board... 7 years for this?

i love this video

So a one piece suit, that staff might as well have to complete disrobe just to use the facilities on a plane, which lets be honest will mean when they sit down, there clothing is going to come into contact with the floor. which may not be the most cleanest giving that people may not have the best aim while flying. giving that bumps happen in flight. That staff member will then have to pull those then contaminated clothes back up. and will be expected to serve food in them.... Something is telling me, whoever designed these have absolutely no idea what so ever about the day to day goings on a plane by both the staff and customers. I am sure the line of "being neutral is going to go down well when a customer falls ill to this" In future, how about focusing on serving the needs of the customers and providing a good service instead of virtue signalling to a tiny group of people that are typically the same groups of people that are protesting for the reductions of flying. it seems you are trying to cause your selves to fail, you seem to support decisions that will end up facilitating that.

Slay!

The worst airline I have ever dealt with. British Airways lost a dog for over 60 hours, claimed “proper care” was provided, and offered points. Not only are they unethical, but British Airways makes unauthorized charges on customer cards. Look at their Yelp page if you want to see honest reviews. Their customer service is rude and dishonest.

British airways is alright but I think Qatar is better. Heathrow been havin problems recently in the news aswll. There needs to be more job opportunities. Jobcentre is sch jokes

Sad so sad !! So bland you can't even see it !! And why remove the crown from the wing/ brevet design ! British Airways keeps suffering from bad decisions.

The uniform as it is now is classic and classy and makes people turn heads. The new uniform looks old fashioned and uncomfortable, very 60’s, 70’s. The scarf is too long and not practical, too much navy. The skirt looks like it’s back to front and the buttoned up shirt, tie and jumper looks like a school uniform. Stick to the uniform you have now

love it

This looks like a bank tellers uniform - the collars are too high & tight to work in comfortably for a flight

You even managed to get the release video wrong it's not great either how can these make it to public release without people people speaking up are they all yes people that say yes to everything even though it's terrible

Older was better

Looks smart but plain and devoid of statement design. I don’t think it stands out as “British”, nor would anyone know it’s British Airways. Was expecting more. Maybe the tailoring and fabric look better in person.

Love it! I think Ozwald has done a great job👏🏼 looking forward to seeing out there!

The Old Uniform Looks Better, It was Timeless, I Think BA Should do A Poll with Staff about the Uniform. I Don't Understand why BA make something that is Timeless, Outstanding, Modern and Most Importantly British and then Replace it with Crap! Like the Landor Livery and Replacing it with the Project Utopia Designs. It Doesn't Make Sense, Why BA?

I don't like this. The old uniform looks a lot classier.

looks like polish or american etc airlines feel

British Airways I know you like your knew uniform but To be Honest, I really don't like it , I'm sorry but it looks more older than modern. Even the community don't particulary like it and I would like it to stay as it is because it makes BA look not smart and no fashion compared to other airlines So please BA Change it to the same or something similar to the old one :(

That shirt collar looks dreadful - exact the type that pops out over the jacket lapel.

Tunic and hijab? Soon the company will change its name to Flying Carpet Airways.

New uniform… Not as chic as the old one. Prefer to see the crews wear the old one and the one before.

As a relatively young, non-white frequent flyer of BA, I find myself shocked and appalled by the presumptuous nature of this campaign to "redefine what it is to be British". Since when has a Hijab had anything to do with being British? What arrogance must have been required to replace classy tradition with Ozwald's neutered, woke look! If the goal was to have flyers look away from BA staff, and indeed BA, Boateng may just have succeeded in killing off a once proud British icon!

Almost as bad as the new AA safety video

I’ve seen the photos of the women’s FA jumpsuit. That’s the most sexist thing I’ve seen in aviation so far this year. You obviously didn’t get input from your female FAs on this design.

BA has indeed picked a wrong designer to revamp its new uniform. There r more creative British fashion designers out there.& Boateng is brilliant in designing boring mens suit, why him?

BA, OMG what are you thinking? The female uniform especially is a complete disaster - seriously. You must’ve got feedback from employees how awful it is? I’d be so disappointed if i were a member of staff. Simply awful. The present uniform is stunning. Jumpsuits and scruffy ties? Did you actually pay someone to do this? The Gents suits and ties are so cheap looking. You must be nuts introducing this. Ryanair’s new uniform is classier than this. Who is running BA these days? It’s gone seriously downhill since Tom King and Colin Marshall ran it.

Looks terrible. The ad also barely shows the uniforms, it is more a declaration of style than anything else. I fear the focus is on that subjective aspect over functionality for the people that wear it.

Right on BA, right on.

Uniform looks amazing ! Awesome job.
