No, That Space Force Uniform Design on Social Media Isn’t Real, Officials Say

Dec 30, 2020 | Military

Some say it looks like a bad flight attendant uniform. Others compare it to the service dress for the East German police force. But a graphic floating around social media depicting a concept for the U.S. Space Force uniform isn’t authentic, a Space Force spokesperson told Military.com.

“The uniform graphic being shared on social media is not an official U.S. Space Force uniform design concept,” Maj. Nick Mercurio said in an email Tuesday. “The Space Force service dress uniform is still in development.”

Users on Twitter posted an image of a man and woman wearing what was purported to be a proposal for the service’s latest dress uniform — which it has yet to unveil.

The denim-colored uniform shows an oversized pocket near the left lapel, silver-gray trim on the jacket line and a high-waisted belt with large buckle featuring Polaris, or the North star, which officials have said signifies the Space Force’s “core value, our guiding light.”

Polaris stretches across each cuff on the jacket sleeve for the male officer in the photo, while the female enlisted member’s uniform shows only a chevron-rank patch.
