Uniform : No more Blue shirts, do I have to change the name of this forum then?

Give the pdf time to load, you may have to refresh, just testing a new feature for pdf's inline.
You 'should' see the new uniform range.

Change the forum name to tech fit leggings.

Gilet rouges...

Still no fleece/jumper ffs.
Looks to be a l/s undershirt, but you just want something to cover your arms when it gets chilly but don't need your coat on.
A l/s undershirt will just make you sweat eventually and then you can't take the damn thing off.
What's the point of a gilet?- if it's cold enough that a shirt isn't enough, you'd just stick your coat on.
Who do they ask for feedback on this stuff??

What's with the DPD castoffs in the 'Endurance' range?

[DGH]

The best thing is that they've obviously designed the range to be red and black (well read and dark grey/grey) to match the post boxes, vans, etc etc. Even the hi-vis vest matches.

But they've made the waterproofs bright yellow (despite a red hi-vis option clearly existing).

So so near to getting something that at least looks coherent and they f**k it up right at the last hurdle.

I think the range looks good on the models in the pictures.
Sleek, modern and fit for purpose - like they want RM to be.
There are a lot of fat slobs in my DO who are not going to carry the look off on the street.

Those red shirts, ha ha!

They look as though they could be worn to a line dancing evening.

Think I might have to stock up on some blue ones while I still can to see me through to retirement.

Completely off topic:
Has anyone else noticed the number of posties and pillar boxes in the latest Halifax advert?
It's almost as though they want to be subliminally associated with the brand?

[Woody Guthrie]

To be honest I ditched the blue shirts about 10 years ago when the polo first became a thing.
I always hated ironing 6 of those old school shirts every Sunday.

We have a huge workforce & you aren’t ever going to please everybody,but why the hell do RM insist on throwing money at a completely new range when the current uninform,whilst not great,could be made a lot better with a few minor adjustments?!

A summer/winter uniform would be an idea for starters (sure we had this BITD?)

[WallaceCat]

I think it looks great and modern

[Zicomurphy]

I assume the whole uniform range will be issued en masse rather than individual items issued when replacements are ordered?

Yeah. That’s what happened in 2010 when the current uniform replaced the old blue one. Seem to remember a team from Dimensions actually came into our office to assist with any questions we may have had when we ordered. For a lot of offices (mine included) it coincided with the launch of park & loop & the new way of working,PDA’s,later starts etc...
