In fact, I wish the US Army would have chosen the 'Pinks & Greens' of that era. instead of the Blues.
The WWI uniform looked like a horse blanket unless it was privately tailored. But of course it was a dress/combat uniform. The Army never got rid of the dress blues for ceremonial/formal dress. Blue has been the official Army color since the revolution.
The Pinks & Greens did look sharp though.

But that new AF thing......butt ugly.
