Donald Trump reveals new service dress uniform designs for the United States Space Force
President Trump shared photos and an overview of the new service dress uniform designs for the United States Space Force on Truth Social. The designs feature a color palette of "space gray" and "midnight black," including knee-high leather boots and epaulettes. The administration announced that the ensemble was inspired by the discipline and functionality of the 1997 film Starship Troopers. These uniforms replace the modified Air Force clothing that members of the Space Force have worn since the branch was founded in 2019. President Trump's personal design choice was presented as a modernized take on the film's aesthetic. While the Space Force is a relatively new branch of the armed forces, it continues to develop its cultural identity and symbolism. The administration announced that members of the Space Force are known as "guardians," a name established in 2020. The new uniforms are intended to help establish a unique identity for the youngest military service branch.
