Pretty sure this has not hit real life yet. It's likely just a meme. The title says by Hugo boss who infamously had a hand in Nazi uniforms, though it's apocryphal that they designed them.
Ignore me. Apparently this was tweeted by Trump. I have no words.
It's almost directly mentioned in the text in the image, too. Inspired by starship troopers? The film which is all about a caricature of fascism? They couldn't be much more blunt without actually using the word nazi
When have US military uniforms ever used that eagle? Obviously eagles are all over US symbols, but they deliberately picked one that looks as much like a nazi eagle as possible.
So i get my knowledge from wikipedia. all the us flight badges are eagle wings on either side of a shield. or in the below case, staff.
for example these are flight surgeon wings. the new space force bullshit looks like they took they grabbed a mirror universe star trek insignia and then slapped it where the shield should go.
Have you ever seen a NASA space suit? Or SpaceX? Somebody online already made a drastically better version that’s distinct from the historical service branches.

Fucking pack it in boys. We’re done here. Literally from real life to parody and back to real life.

Ignore you? Naaaah, see what you’re doing is using your brain and seeing something that should be a joke.
We're like 30 years into this parody
Holy fuck, this is real.

Goddamn look like they rob the wardrobe department of a Indiana Jones set. Swear you just might as well slap swastika on them and get it over with.

The Onion needs to start writing stories where the Trump administration act like sane human beings, and show compassion to other people.
At this point, it would be far more bizarre than anything they've done so far.
Coming to an Imperial Star Destroyer near you.
That's not a ballroom, that's a space station!
More like the flying aircraft carriers that Hydra had. Except steam powered to appease Drumpf
They even ruined steampunk!
Holy Shit, is that straight out of the Spaceballs script‽ Sure looks like what the Nazis wore in Spaceballs
Well he's surrounded by assholes so that tracks.
Allegedly they're inspired by Starship Troopers. As if that makes it any better.
Female version.
Not a chance to tell if this is satire
Spaceballs drip is superior.
Look at all those assholes 😬😬
Looks like the Death Star officers uniforms right out of Star Wars
They are based on Nazi Germany uniforms for a reason...
They look soooo Nazi Germany chic.
Unbelievable cringe

I have some bad news about US marksmanship badges.
To be fair, the iron cross predates nazis, but as with the swastika and Bellamy salute, they ruined a lot of shit.
It looks like they’re copying the Air Force flight qual pins. It’s the same horaltic pose.
Space Nazi!
What exactly are the boots for in space? they walking in maneure fields?
Hilariously, Hugo Boss also designed the original nazi uniforms in the 1930s, and was even a member of the NSDAP himself!
Fritz, are we the baddies?
They should really use the iron sky uniforms. That's far more appropriate to their level.
(Based on the mistaken belief that Boss designed Nazi uniforms)
He certainly manufactured them.
Yup, but didn’t design any.
So it's still appropriate to call them "Hugo Boss Nazi uniforms"
Not really. You surely don’t call a device the Foxconn iPhone
Ahh, that's a shame. It would be funny if Hugo Boss sued the US government for blatantly ripping off their Nazi uniform designs
Just up to the LucasFilm lawyers then
Disney owns all that shit and they're notoriously litigious, so there's a chance.
Heh, say notoriously litigious 5 times fast.
I stand by the position we should have abolished the space force years ago
Needs more sashes.
Sorry yall if what I'm saying is coming off wrong. I like the colors of space and the color black. That's all.
Have you ever seen a NASA space suit? Or SpaceX? Somebody online already made a drastically better version that’s distinct from the historical service branches.
Oh that's even better! Goddamn!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but now looks more Starcraft?
In the same way that Hitler ruined the toothbrush mustache, yeah. A sharp looking uniform, pity about the visual language.
Nah, the stache was shit.
I just like red and black.
I'm not saying their uniforms or whatever excuse what they did just to be clear.
Chaplin pulled it off.
True, but he was funny. Funny can either boost or over power looks.
