Oh wait, you meant the wings.
My bad, please disregard.

Sure if you see a white background you know for sure. However all Recalls, MIL returns, LTA returns, updated photos and all 2000 post merger hires are all blue. So to assume Blue is LCAL is mis guided.
I know you know this but other less informed don't and it is annoying, so no reason to even crack the door on this old divisive tactic. I was once denied a jump seat by a 320 CA because I had a blue background.....guess he missed the half wing on my tie

But....the new wings say so much to the traveling public and about me. "I just had a box of Cracker Jacks, and I've got a sugar high," right before you get into my plane and I fly you to where ever, then my sugar high crashes right before landing.
I thought I was done wearing cheap plastic jewelry when I stopped wearing those fake pewter AF wings...
I wear the UAL provided jacket, over coat and wings. Yes, I look like a homeless person. I look exactly like UAL wants me to look.
BTW, I'd be really surprised if they ban the flight jackets, and that actually keeps people from wearing them.

I keep hearing it repeated, but have yet to see one. Perhaps I should get out more? 
I also don't understand why it rankles some guys so much. Both legacy wings look better than the stuff issued post merger, and much better than heavily festooned cowboy boots or black reeboks.

What I don't understand is guys who blow a gasket over the outliers who choose to shine the light upon themselves by sporting legacy gear. My larger problem lies with the guys who won't touch the APU till eleven mins prior to push, even though their pax stink like last weeks fish. Keep the cabin cool for our customers (prior to push on a hot day) and I don't care what you're wearing or where you got hired.

I haven't noticed legacy wings in a while. I do still notice slick ties and cowboy boots in IAH and unbuttoned blazer, no hat and a backpack draped over the shoulder of guys in SFO and IAD. Having said that I have noticed most guys seem to be wearing the uniform correctly (blazer buttoned/hat) this year. I do think it is tacky to be mismatched (one guy wearing the leather while the other wears the blazer) but it is approved.

Wait... We can wear the uniform of our previous employer!?!
That's so cool. My last job had AWESOME wings. They got really really boss ones with all the money they didn't pay us.
And if I can use their uniform standards here that would be excellent. As soon as I hit the plane its shorts & concert t-shirt time! You can't bring one pilot shirt for a month and never wash it if you actually wear it for more than an hour a day.

More than once I've suggested to said offenders that they visit moveon.org and get over it.
