Over 600 of the Navy’s newest sailors donned the latest duds — the updated service dress whites — during a May 5 graduation ceremony at Recruit Training Command in Great Lakes, Illinois.
Featuring noticeable blue accents, along with new side and front zippers designed to make changing in and out of the uniform easier, the first SDW redesign since 1980 made a positive impression on those in attendance, according to a Navy release.
“I like the change in the blue piping as it adds character to the uniform and makes it look dressier, compared to the old jumper top,” recruit band and choir conductor, Musician 1st Class Joseph Moore, said in the release. “The fit is more athletic along with the zipper allowing for easy removal of the jumper top.”

Let's hope it isn't what the army did. Using a cover (cap) that looked like someone punched the top. Or everyone wears a Beret. LMAO.
Minnie Pearl in the photo better take the tags off.
Never was in the navy, but always thought these were pretty silly.
Polyester cartoons of what Navy jumpers were.
So no more 13 buttons? I agree with Anon 11:36, I always thought that the Cracker Jacks looked silly too.
You can't wear that after Labor Day!
