Delta Debuts 'Distinctly Delta' Uniforms, Returning to Navy and Red

Employee input drove the redesign, with wear-testing in 2026 ahead of a 2027 rollout.

Overview

  • The program features four lines produced by Lands’ End, shaped by feedback from about 65,000 uniformed employees across airport, in‑flight and technical operations roles.
  • Delta’s signature palette returns through Navigator Navy, Boarding Burgundy and Runway Red, with the employee‑requested wrap dress revived as a key piece.
  • A new Elite Collection unifies Red Coats, Sky Club ambassadors and pursers under one coordinated look with subtle Delta Widget jacquard accents.
  • Accessories come via a Missoni collaboration for scarves, ties and pocket squares, with Bombas supplying branded socks for above‑ and below‑wing staff.
  • All garments meet leading fabric‑safety standards, with Delta planning wear-tests in summer 2026 and full adoption in 2027, following years of concern over the prior purple Zac Posen uniforms that led to a gray option.
