That makes a fashion statement I do not think would be in keeping with my personna. The only thing that is missing is a swagger stick.

When I think of "Army Colors", I think of green, black, tan...but blue? It looks like an Air Force uniform.
I thought jump boots wouldn't be authorized with the blues but in the picture...
And finally, are colored unit patches (SSI) going to disappear? Why should the MCS carry 'em if there is nothing to sew them on. BN

The Class B effort is nothing short of embarrassing. The "combat pin" looks ridiculous - especially with other stuff on the pocket. My goodness 
Wear out date is 2014? I'll be wearing my GREENS for my retirement at 30  .

Look closely, they are wearing them on the pocket next to DS / Recruiter badges...

The whole thing looks like some sort of "Food Service" or "Ship Steward" uniform.

I love the variation:
Wear with black windbreaker.
Now that will certainly dress it up. Am I the only one who believes that someone forgot the pocket protector?

Some people may want to edit their will to assure they won't be buried in this thing!

Bleh.
He looks like a South American dictator.
That shirt is not heavy enough to handle the weight of all the crap hanging off of it.

Well it is a new uniform plan and they may have decided to allow them again... I still think they are developing this on the fly and more things will change in the next year on this. Shirt and badges are something that they need to fix.

Combat boots, as in the tan suede current issue? That will look great.
