Space Force dress uniform image draws Star Wars comparisons
this is the kind of design costume designers make to tell you who are the bad guys in a space movie
"Make it look a little more fascist. No, a little more. I'll tell you when to stop."
are we the baddies dot gif
The new motivational posters over at Space Force are pretty good, though…
"inspired by the Starship Trooper uniform" 🤦♂️
what in the literal Galactic Empire
Very reminiscent of the Nazi uniforms designed by Karl Diebitsch and graphic designer Walter Heck and manufactured by Hugo Boss.
I did Nazi that uniform coming
In fact, I think Lucasfilm probably has a copyright or trademark infringement suit here...
Gotta love how when Andor came out, the right was coping hard that it was anti-Trump while saying the “Dems are the real Empire for mask mandates.” (Imagine still obsessing over masks in 2025.) www.indiewire.com/features/gen...
It’s a good time to watch - or rewatch - Andor. You know, at the end of your day, when it’s time to wind down.
It really is and it’s not anywhere as good as Hugo Boss.
Seriously, they just told Grok to make the imperial officer uniforms from Star Wars but “more Hitlery.”
Space nazis? Didnt have that on my 2026 bingo card, but I am entirely unsurprised.
I really wish people would understand that "The Galactic Empire" were the BAD GUYS and were analogs for the Literal Nazis. (There's an argument to be made that they were also the American Imperialist State, but, you know, in 2025? Nazis)
There are no horses in space. No one needs riding boots.
That's a Nazi SS uniform.
Republicans are holding off on the skull insignias on epaulets until AFTER the midterm elections.
Bingo, just like that too.
Trump also just posted this AI slop that explains the design is “inspired by the discipline and functionality of the Starship Trooper uniform.”
*sigh* time for me to ask Space Force if this is a real proposed design
As clumsy as they are stupid.
Hugo Boss would like a word.
Me: There aren't Nazi's on the moon, that's insane Them: Unless...
I still find it absurd the "space force" exists at all. Imagine being a space soldier, or whatever they call themselves. Knowing you rank below cosplayers in the rankings of real armed service jobs. Picking up dog shit for a living.
You absolutely know he doesn’t understand that Starship Troopers was satire

are we the bad guys
a less satisfying corollary of ‘the cruelty is the point’ is ‘the absurdity is the point.’ from Trump to equally (more?) brain-rotted neo-Nazis, they will freely take aesthetic cues from things that are just making fun of them (e.g., still-extant Fight Club worships) without caring about the irony
perfect for being asphyxiated by Lord Vader
So I’m not supposed to think of Nazi Germany when I see this, right?
And now you’re watching his son (who you don’t like either) clearly poisoning his already broken brain with his dumb pet project in the hopes he gets on the will bsky.app/profile/pale...
Interesting, VA just put this out yesterday in Outlook…it all ties together. Introducing the new VA Treatment Division uniforms — inspired by the “cutting‑edge innovation” of Umbrella Corp. Now featuring the new VA EMBLEM. Serving veterans before….and after….death.
The what??? 👀 I don't think he means the song by Yes. Paul Verhoeven and Ellen Mirojnick used Nazi uniform designs to build the costumes for the movie.
Y'all remember Musks fascist salute, yeah?
Every day I wake up and Trump has posted more flagrantly Nazi shit and still MAGA will pretend they aren't literal Nazis.
If you are in charge of designing Space Force uniforms, you have three tasks before you: ❌️ Do NOT make it look like Star Wars ❌️ Do NOT make it look like Star Trek ❌️ Do NOT make it look like the SS How do you fail ALL THREE OF THESE so spectacularly in a single uniform?
Many people will Nazi what some of us are
Did you see the inspiration? Starship Troopers. The one movie far righters believe is a pro-war science-fiction movie, and that has its uniforms inspired by the nazis.
Wait til you see the white armor of the U.S. Space Force Stormtroopers.
How? They are doing their part!
Because that is exactly the look they wanted. All intentional
I see a pattern of inspiration:
You say Starship Troopers, but I see a different, very clear inspiration.
Especially because he is—in fact—surrounded by Assholes
Heinlein would be rolling in his grave, either from disgust or laughter, at the idiocy of using the parody movie of his book as a template for a real force. But I think you're right about the real inspiration.
I defy you to find a more Nazi-looking uniform outside of, you know, the Nazis.
“Inspired by the discipline and functionality of the Starship Trooper uniform. Modernized for the guardians of the space domain.”
Dude looks like he's going to get Force choked at the first minor screw up.
Man, i would kill for some knee high boots.
The Nazi uniforms were by Hugo Boss, not a meh AI
Space Force should go with thongs.
Who cares about their uniform. What's their testosterone level?
