Doesn’t look half bad though. Like a SAF livery almost… wish they would just release some standard A320’s and A319’s instead of this though…
Personally don't mind the SAF livery, and I like the colors on this one. However, I definitely wish there was more of a design element included in both.Why is United putting some random bands around their jets and calling it a "special livery"?
That SAF livery is quite an eyesore and this one is no good either...

Here's a pic, N94750.
Looks nice enough. As previously mentioned, still would prefer something a bit more
I think the bands seen here, as well as those on the SAF liveries, are part of United’s new visual identity introduced a few years ago. The colours on the bands are part of the airline’s secondary colour palette. They can also be found on some signage and promotional materials.Why is United putting some random bands around their jets and calling it a "special livery"?

Do you know of a certain retailer where I can get this for a good price in 1/400 scale?
There’s a bunch, and i know you know some!

Seems United is starting to act like Delta by only implementing brand recognizable liveries with minimal creativity.
Delta only has the Team USA specials due to their partnership which historically Delta has always done Team USA specials so this isn’t a new thing. Also Delta just re-painted their SkyTeam 767-400 into the standard livery with only the 737-800 remaining with that livery. It is correct to say Delta does not like specials because it takes away from the brand identity that they strive for and that comes from the top as I have heard them say they have no interest in doing heritage livery’s of any kind. Seems United may be following this direction as well.
My dad worked with Delta when they made that decision. He texted me about a week ago when we were talking about it - quote “Nope. Delta doesn’t do heritage liveries. I was there when Richard decided that. One brand. No looking back. Delta is about the future and moving forward.”
This is very much the attitude to this day under Ed Bastian. Have heard him say the same thing myself just one year ago almost as if it’s a bad omen to recognize the past because the past represents “Bankruptcy” and “Instability”. I can also attest to a great extent Delta would rather white wash Northwest’s history.
