My wife worked for a Atlanta based fortune 50 company for many years in branding and marketing. She said she never understood the reason for the Delta Uniform.
One night we were watching the original Midway with Charlton Heston. He and other officers are standing on the bridge of a navy ship. My wife asks “isn’t your uniform based on the navy uniform”. Yes I replied. She then said “why don’t their uniforms look like yours”? I told her ours is based on the dress uniform, and they are wearing more of a “working” uniform. “Well if they wear a working uniform to to drive the ship, why do you wear a dress uniform to fly the plane?”

I’d go for that. Looks comfortable, neat, functional and professional without looking like Captain Obvious.

Based off a white star line captain outfit which was based off a navy uniform for another navy. Same reason we wear caps inside. If passengers wanted it, the company would try to dress us as Barney the purple dinosaur.
