Check the video, not one of the old white hats had the stupid round circle and kangaroo! They all had a coat of arms.
The designer is a joke, as is the uniform.

QF joke
Given my recent experience on the Flying Rat ah la kangaroo, QF mgt should spend more time,effort and money on inflight service than a poofs set of drawers !
BKK-SYD QF24 1825-0745
On boarding -- no CCM in cabin to assit little old ladies put their cabin bags in o/head bins
Pre-flight safety demo - a BLOODY JOKE !!!!!!! (I have seen better in third world airlines banned from Europe)
SEAT - BLOODY uncomfortable. Have sat in more comfortable steel pan seats on vintage tractors !!!!!!!!!
Inflight meal -- (in rear section of A330) 2:30hr into flight before evening meal served
-- meal nothing more than a snack (I have seen bigger meals in refugee
camps) LCC in Europe offer better.
-- no meal tray - just a plastic 'meal dish' everything handed out individually
ie. utensils/ bread (had to ask) just plonked on the table (yes- the one that folds down and is known to be the 2nd most unhygenic place on the acft)
desert - a cake like item no bigger than a 50c coin!!!!!!!
- I questioned the poor meal - only to be told -- WE DO NOT HAVE SPACE TO HOLD EXTRA CATERING !
- Funny -- how does every other airline operating A330s Long Haul do ??
In-Flight movies -- The best collection of WORST movies ever produced.
Not ONE was worthy of watching !!!!!!!!!
B/fast -- All I will say -- THANK GOD I HAD A QUICK CONNECTION ONTO AN EK FLT - where a proper/professional service of quality was offered at NO extra expense in a very pleasant manner.
Let it be known -- THAT I WILL NEVER FLY ON A QF SERVICE EVER AGAIN

Aoelus2000BC, what a shocker! 
Have you by any chance made that complaint to Qantas themselves? No point venting here if you haven't given the airline a spray too.
No doubt that QF is just stumbling through the motions these days. The new uniform is no more than a distraction from everything they are failing to do properly.

aeolus2000bc, it sounds like a realistic appraisal to me. I personally fly Singapore or Emirrates instead of QF staff travel.
You were lucky the entertainment system worked at all, anyway we will have lovely new uniforms soon so all is good ��

Aeolus2000BC,
your post indicates I assume that Qantas did not meet your expectation. Yes ?
It also indicates that you are one hell of a self absorbed individual who struggles with, "perspective".
Perhaps help of some sort might be in order?

Just as PPRUNE had turned on Virgin and the QF bashing had subsided, in swings Joyce with this absolute pearler! That uniform correspondes perfectly with the abortion that is their current CC uniform. Virgin's uniforms look professional and their cabin crew classy. Oh and free RM's at Virgin.
Cheers,
Greaser.

I have heard of pilots fantasizing that they weren't wearing anything else - not me, you understand, some other guys.

Leave AJ alone, this is my fault.
In the initial survey I was quite forthright in saying we did not want to look like J* pilots.
Didn't think for one moment they'd take me seriously.

Then again, it's *different* and involves *change* and we all know what that means to the average Qantas pilot...
I don't see anyone much complaining about the things that seem like they're actually better.
RMs are standard issue in Army Reserve too
I don't actually mind the new uniform.
I think a lot of people aren't realising that side by side with the previous one, the old one doesn't stack up well. Flared pants, jacket made out of the horrible material, wings cluttered, southern cross sideways? It wasn't that good to begin with.
White hats? Well I'd prefer black but I like the nod to history and the uniqueness. It doesn't look that terrible. The wings should be metal but I'll live with it. It's good to see something a little different to the same look repeated everywhere.
As far as being "laughed at" or having this uniform seen as a joke? Fine, let them joke. I'll take pride in wearing it. I reckon 99% of people teasing the new look would gladly wear it if they were offered a position. I don't think any of the very many people who will be applying for the next round of recruitment are going to withdraw their applications on seeing what they will be wearing.
