Postmen and women of the Royal mail trail new uniforms in over a decade.
The new uniforms are reportedly designed to reflect the modern delivery round.
The latest look retains hints from the earlier uniform design, like their iconic red color, walking trousers and shorts, tops, jackets, gilets, and headwear. The new look was designed after taking inputs from postmen and women across the UK.
The new uniforms will be worn over a 12-week trial period and will be replacing the Royal Mail uniform across the UK if found to be successful.
Ricky McAulay, Royal Mail field operations director, said: “Royal Mail postmen and postwomen are at the heart of the communities in which they work across the UK. Their highly recognizable red uniforms help cement this relationship of trust with our customers.”
“We worked closely with our people to come up with these designs which are poised to help them in their highly physical jobs while reflecting the shift towards more parcels. I am very much looking forward to seeing the results of the trial.”
