    ITA AIRWAYS When I first saw the livery of Italy's new flag carrier, I thought it took a page from the country's national football team. This is necessary since the European Commission barred Italy from recycling the Alitalia brand, even if it's owned by the people behind ITA Airways. So much for that, I went with a primary-clash-alternate designation for my 3 concept uniforms for the airline, starting with an all-blue uniform—an obvious homage to the Italian football team—but I did not make it blue from head to toe, due to the white engine nacelles. Both the helmet and the jersey feature a pattern of various shapes found on the tail. Next is an all-white uniform—even the helmet is also white—with the same theme as the blue uniform. This was done as a tribute to the airline's white liveries: the "Born in 2021", the "Born to be Sustainable", and the special half-blue, half-white livery. While the Alitalia brand could not be used for now, the iconic brand remains alive in my alternate uniform. I specifically picked the 1969 version of the former Italian flag carrier's iconic livery, since it was the first iteration of what would become one of the signature looks in the skies. The cheatline design is placed in front of the jersey and on the pants' side panels, while a large version of Alitalia's tail logo adorns both sides of the helmet.

    @TrueYankee26, thanks for indirectly suggesting ITA Airways! I'm actually targeting either a SkyTeam member airline or a non-alliance member as my next concept.

    SRILANKAN AIRLINES I got fascinated with SriLankan Airlines because it formerly served flights to Manila, but this route has since been terminated. Recently, I watched a latest flight review of the airline—you can check the reviews on YouTube by yourselves. Anyway, about the current livery, it truly reflected its 10-year partnership with Emirates, just by looking at the similar typography, the predominantly white paint job, and the way the logo is designed especially when placed on the tail. I went with blue as the primary color for the uniforms since it's heavily used on the airline's website, as well as the new belly design promoting Sri Lanka's tourism. The main design element that's found throughout the uniform is the current peacock logo, with its curves being a perfect fit. Since I don't want the home and road uniforms to be just two blues and white, I added the colors from the logo as an accent. Before the rebrand in 1998, the airline was known as Air Lanka, and it was known for its peacock logo called "Dandu Monara". The livery that came with the airline's establishment following the demise of the country's former flag carrier Air Ceylon was quite simple, utilizing red and white. My retro uniform concept is pretty straightforward, using the curves on the empennage leading to the tail as striping on the sleeves and the pants.

    AIR CANADA I'm actually a fan of Air Canada's black-tailed livery, may it be the previous version (some images imply it's dark green but it's still black to me) or the current one with the "mask" painted on the cockpit windows. The addition of the "mask" is a cool feature of the current regular paint scheme for the flag carrier of Canada, and therefore that's my focus on designing the home and road uniforms. Instead of making it pop out by using red on a black background or black on white, I went with sublimated colors, so that the simplicity of both uniforms is highlighted. My choice for the throwback alternate would be the livery which featured a black notch on the aircraft's nose, which explains why I colored the helmet facemask black. And since it's Canada, I got to make the jersey red. In the thinking stages, I pondered on making a red version of the home/road jersey, but I eventually settled on using that color for the throwback.

    AER LINGUS Ireland's flag carrier unveiled its current livery in 2019, and I gotta say, it looks like a green version of Qantas' current livery due to the same design treatment on its empennage. While it looks clean, it might have lost it's Irish-ness aside from the shamrocks found on the aircraft. With this livery in mind, I went with a random curvy design inspired by the design on the empennage. While I mentioned that the current livery looks like Qantas, the airline's older livery is essentially a green version of KLM's older livery. The cheatlines from that particular livery become the main design for my retro alternate, with the side panel striping on the pants having the horizontal orientation instead of vertical, to match every other application of the cheatlines throughout the entire uniform.

    GULF AIR There's no shortage of gold—the color, that is—on the liveries of Gulf Air, especially the one that preceded the current livery. I wanted the home and road uniforms to have the similar color treatment as Georgia Tech's uniforms, but I later realized that designing with the current livery in mind will be challenging. This resulted to a gold jersey-tan pants home combo and an all-white road combo, in which both feature tan-colored shoulder yokes. During the airline's 70th anniversary, Gulf Air unveiled an inaccurate version of its retro livery, where gold replaced all applications of the eggplant color—or is it brown? This time, I specifically picked the later version of the airline's tricolor livery, with the correct colors.

    I didn't even know this airline until you said it. Now, I'm sorry in advance if I won't cover it since I'm not doing cargo airlines in this topic. Good suggestion, though.

    AIR NEW ZEALAND Nothing can be simpler than using just two colors on an airline livery—let alone, if those two colors are black and white. But Air New Zealand's current liveries proved that a black-and-white look doesn't have to be boring, and it's all because of the fern, which is featured on the sleeves of my home and road uniform concepts for the airline. The throwback livery I chose for the alternate is the Pacific Wave livery. I went with something I've never done before in this series: a gradient jersey. Instead of applying that gradient on the helmet, I thought it would be better if it's applied on a jersey. On top of that, the Pacific Wave is heavily featured on both the sleeves and the pants.

    BRITISH AIRWAYS My home and road concepts for BA center on one theme: the Chatham Dockyard Union flag on the airline's current livery—from the collar to the socks and all the way to the pants' side panels. The sleeves also follow the theme, thus the blue sleeves regardless of the jersey's main color. Those same sleeves feature BA's coat of arms, which can also be found on the pants. By the way, both the home and road uniforms are inspired by @tBBP's work in 2006. With all the options for the throwback uniform, I eventually settled on the BOAC livery, since it's the only retro livery that doesn't feature red. I didn't add TV numbers on the shoulders to evoke the retro feels of this particular uniform.

    Wow, how thoughtful! I mean, it would be an honor to showcase that to the FAs of Vietnam Airlines. I'll be delighted to know their reactions to the concept I made, if ever you'll show these to them.

    Yes, exactly.

    VIETNAM AIRLINES In my opinion, Vietnam Airlines upgraded big time ever since adopting the lotus as its logo. From its initial look in the early 2000's up to its current iteration, VN's lotus livery looks great—although I prefer the latter since the former looked darker for my taste. Truth be told, this is one of the first airlines that I looked upon as a possibility to have a football uniform set based on the livery. The curved design on the belly is the focal point on the primary uniforms, being placed on the sleeve cuffs and the hems of the pants. Just like the real thing, the lotus logo on the helmet is enlarged and slanted. Before the lotus logo was unveiled, Vietnam Airlines looked really vintage, regardless of the overall livery. While there are two that instantly come to mind, there is one obscure livery that caught my eye. I don't know if it resembles a bird's beak, but that particular livery's cheatlines are so unique. Thus, I added that on the sleeves, while the rest of the uniform is pretty basic.

    Correction, there are two prominent teams, Akron and UMKC, although TruColor.net also lists two more colleges/universities.

    QANTAS The addition of silver to Qantas' current livery is indeed a nice touch, thus making the airline look sleeker. With that, I applied the same principle onto the home and road uniform concepts. Few tidbits that I want to highlight are the shiny silver outlines on the front and back numbers, and the metallic finish of the helmet facemasks. For the alternate, I turned to the airline's regional arm QantasLink, which unveiled a very special livery for its very first Airbus A220. Known as "Minyma Kutjara Tjukurpa", that green-heavy livery is the latest addition to the numerous Indigenous Australian art liveries throughout Qantas' history. A portion of the artwork can be found on the shoulders and the sleeves of the jersey.

    EVA AIR EVA Air unveiled its current livery in 2015, in which I thought the belly color was black, but upon a closer look, it's actually dark green. I don't know if it's me or not, but the curvature on the belly reminds me of United Airlines, a fellow Star Alliance member. Comparisons aside, I made that curvature the overall theme on my home and road uniform concepts for this Taiwanese carrier. First off, why did I choose dark green as the primary color for these two uniforms? Well, that's the color of the airline's flight attendant uniforms. However, in spite of all this, there's still a huge chunk of the regular green color to maintain balance, which reminds me of the Tampa Bay Vipers uniforms. While the home and road uniforms evoke the modern design, the throwback uniform expresses EVA Air's humble beginnings. Good thing that the airline's inaugural livery has an additional stripe so that it won't be just another Eurowhite paint scheme. This time, though, I went with the regular green for the jersey color. One more tidbit that I'll add is that I used the full globe logo instead of the one used in the airline logo where the globe is trimmed off at the top-left portion to fit it within the tail.

    CHINA AIRLINES Ever since it adopted the plum blossom as its main identity, the flag carrier of Taiwan has set itself apart from the usual blue-and-red looks of most airlines. The livery that came with it is distinguishable enough, it's already an art piece by itself. As for the uniforms, both the jerseys and the pants capitalized on the striping found at the front of the fuselage, near the nose. Meanwhile, the helmet features the plum blossom, as well as the white-to-lavender gradient background, just like how it appears on the tail of its aircraft. White is my choice for the airline's home jersey. The throwback uniform harkens back when the airline heavily relied on the flag color theme. Though the blue-white-red striping looked similar to those of Philippine Airlines and American Airlines, among others, the way it appeared on the tail made it unique from the rest of the pack. Looking at other pictures of the older livery, it seems that the vintage CAL logo is not visible anywhere on the paint scheme, so I decided to make it obvious on the uniform, as a reminder that China Airlines used to have a logo like that.

    ALL NIPPON AIRWAYS Ever since its brand refresh in the 80's that's still carried to today, ANA has one of the most straightforward brandings among the world's airlines. Its double blue-adorned livery stands the test of time, in contrast to the numerous changes of Japan Airlines. With that, the home and road uniforms speak high volumes about ANA's iconic look. I decided to make the sleeves colored differently compared with the rest of the jersey, inspired by the tail logo. This is also the reason why I went with the ANA script and a tapered light blue stripe on the blue helmet. On the front of the jersey, right above the number, is the old full name script found on the airline's original version of its livery. And on the back of the pants, there's one of the Nihongo translations of the airline name. Before 1982, ANA had the aerial screw logo, and with it came the "Mohican" livery. Even if the output I made looks similar to my Korean Air concept, the grey pants made this retro alternate uniform unique.

    CHINA SOUTHERN AIRLINES For the first China-based airline in this series, I went with its iconic cheatlines which have been there since the beginning, and designated the white uniform as the home uniform, with the dark blue uniform being worn on the road. Since China Southern's livery has been the same since 1988, there won't be a throwback uniform. However, the airline sports a different livery for its Boeing 787s, so I went with that design, where wings adorn both the jersey and the pants.

    AIR FRANCE The home and road uniforms for Air France are centered around one thing: the airline's iconic tail stripes on its Eurowhite livery. I'm unable to find the actual font for the airline's logo, so I went with the Gill Sans MT font family for the numbers and the NOB. While the stripes are the front-and-center in these uniforms, I made sure that the "hippocampe ailé" (winged seahorse logo) is also prominent. It looks like Air France has only one livery design prior to the unveiling of the tail stripes we know now, so that was the basis of my throwback alternate for the French flag carrier. I went with blue jersey and white pants, since the white jersey-grey pants combo is already redundant. And yes, "Airfrans" is indeed the callsign for the airline, you can look that up online.

    JAPAN AIRLINES JAL's current livery is both clean and underwhelming. Like, the livery could've had a grey underbelly such as the airline's previous liveries, but it settled with something simple. With that I mind, I went on to search for the airline's flight attendant uniforms and, while most variations are simple, at least all of them have red embellishments. I applied that idea on my home and road concepts for JAL, while maintaining the uncomplicated look and feel from the livery. The white jersey is designated as the home uniform, while the black can be either the road or clash uniform. Why black? That's the color of the aforementioned flight attendant uniforms. For my throwback choice, the 1989-2002 livery is the one that instantly reminds me of JAL. Since the "tsurumaru" is already used on the primary helmet, I went with the JAL logo from that era, and just like the actual application on the plane where the grey striping extends to the nose of the aircraft, I extended the grey striping all the way to the back of the helmet. And instead of placing it on the sleeves, the same striping is treated as a shoulder yoke.

    GARUDA INDONESIA I love Garuda's blue-and-teal look, from its first iteration up to the "nature's wing" era, with the latter being a brand evolution of the former. And so, I made it the overall theme of my home and road uniform concepts for "The Airline of Indonesia". While the jerseys and the pants have the nature's wing pattern, this is not that obvious compared to the helmet. I went back to red for my retro alternate. Specifically, I went with the airlines' final livery featuring red and orange cheatlines which extend all the way to the aircraft's tail.

    AIR INDIA I'm slowly getting used to Air India's new overall design as of now, but back then, I thought it was a huge departure from what the airline used to look like. But the one thought that's common between those is, the complete overhaul of Air India's identity looked extravagant. Given how the airline is slowly transforming itself both inside and out after the Tata Group takeover, I think it wants to place itself among the best, and I wish greater things to come for the airline. With that being said, the home and road uniforms are based from the airline's new look, focusing on gold and the chakra pattern, which is sublimated on the sleeves and the pants' side panels. The helmet features the new tail logo, where the only application of aubergine (purple) is used (after all, we need some sort of a Vistara tribute). In case you're wondering about the golden gradient on the helmet face mask, that's because it should imply that it is metallic chrome gold. The throwback uniform I chose for Air India is the "Flying Palace" livery. The overall striping on the jersey and the pants are taken from the window frame design that was carried over to the post-merger livery. Just like what's found on the aircraft, one side features the brand name in English, and on the other side is its corresponding Hindi translation.

    Is it just me or am I seeing two same uniforms in between the mono-orange and the white-orange combo?

    THAI AIRWAYS INTERNATIONAL The "wai" has been one of the recognizable symbols in airports around the world, and I can consider Thai's livery as one of the most beautiful-looking liveries among the world's airlines. On that note, the distinct striping on Thai's livery is the main focus of my home and road uniforms for the airline, and I applied it a la Seattle Seahawks' soon-to-be former uniforms (rumors suggest that the Seahawks will have new uniforms starting in the 2024 season). The white jersey gains a differently colored yoke so as to maintain the striping, similar to the actual livery. Initially, I went with 3 different designs: the home uniform is based from the current livery, the road uniform from the 1975-2005 livery, and the alternate from the pre-1975 livery. However, it would be best to stick with the same theme (but not necessarily the same design) for the home and road uniforms. So for the throwback, I ultimately decided to go for the pre-1975 one, since the 1975-2005 livery was the original bearer of the wai logo, with the current livery being an evolution from the previous one.

    QATAR AIRWAYS Throughout its recent history, one of Qatar Airways' signatures has been its grey livery. And with that, I chose grey as the home jersey color, with maroon becoming the road jersey color. True to the livery, I paired the grey jersey with white pants, while grey pants come hand-in-hand with the maroon jersey. I put the enlarged oryx logo on both the helmet and the sleeves. The alternate uniform pays tribute to the airline's early years, in which the livery that came with it was brought back in 2022 to celebrate the airline's 25th anniversary.
