An industrious Pink reader pointed me in the direction of a set of images from Issue 43 of the International Scientology News magazine which showcases the new uniforms that are to be worn by any self-respecting Scientologist this Fall season. Bucket hat? Check! Dracula cape? Check!! A sassy new attitude? Check!!! Have a look at the NEW LOOK of the Church of Scientology:
Clearly old uniforms from Delta Airlines (circa 1971) have been dyed and spruced up a bit in order to be recycled into these new Scientology uniforms. They’re quite snazzy, methinks. I mean, just looking at these ensembles makes my Thetan Level skyrocket! At the very least you have to give the CoS snaps for their bold fashion statements. After the jump, check out another scan from this issue of International Scientology News to see some of the other looks from this new line of extravagant garb …
To be honest, this has got the uniforms of the Mormon Church and the Catholic Church beat … hands down! What the Scientologists lack in substance they more than make up for in sassy fashion. Praise Xenu!

lol. best picture ever for the Catholic Church, Trent. and I was unaware that scientologists had uniforms.
OMG! The cuff links are to die for….or at least to sacrifice your life for. My boyfriend will definitely be getting those for Christmas………
HAHA I actually like the cape.
-meream
dear lord.
WTF is my only response…
If you read the text, you see that these uniforms were designed by a hired designer: Richard Tyler
And Tyler actually DID design Delta Airlines uniforms.
Does anyone else think that when a “religion” starts assigning uniforms that it crosses over into cult territory?
I’m just sayin…
LMAO. That is f*cking absurd.
@ Patrick– Scientology is a cult for far scarier reasons than these heinous clothes.
They never really crossed over – they have always been over there in batshit land. These clothes justify it further.
btw – In the group photo, is the guy on the left wearing a cape and is his tie red and black? That is just effin creepy.
AaaaaHAHAHAHAHA!
The only thing that makes this less funny, is knowing that Scientologist’s can’t actually afford any of that.
Nothing says corporate like a uniform. Seig Heil!
What was wrong with preppy blue oxfords and chino pants?
It’s a joke, right ?
Oh, I believe Xenu is DEFINITELY the one to praise for these uniforms, TouchofMyHand! No one who actually wanted Scientology to succeed in clearing this galactic sector would be happy about this giant footbullet of a fashion show.
Also, could they not find good models? The woman in the front looks horribly uncomfortable with the way she’s standing. Either that or those shoes are worse than they look (and they already look pretty awful).
This brings a new meaning to sweatshop labor.
Forget about sending these to be made overseas, they have whole platoons of naughty scientologists that have to endure years of slave labor as a punishment to get their thetan back up to snuff.
I love the vampire coffin details on the red cloak.
Has anyone seen the spooky CoS commercials running now??
@Jstar
Yeah, they remind me of Fight Club.
Check out the Mormons’ favorite place for modest clothing! Love the “culture war” reference.. nothing says “onward Christian solider” like knee-length shorts!!!!

The commercials are actually a direct rip off coyright violation of Fight Club.
paging whoever has the rights!
These uniforms are the height of fashion-not!
I feel sorry for people pulling into this money grubbing organization that pretends to be a church. These clothes are just another way to get more money out of their members.
Bucket hats? A *timeless design*? Wow, I hope Scientology’s midget leader Miscavige sucker punches who ever thought this was a good idea. Although knowing his insane history, he probably already has.
Vampires eh? Time to call in the scoobies. We’ve got our Giles: http://scoobies.ytmnd.com/
Are they serious? Why not dress everyone in black w/out buttons like the Menonites? Oh wait, that wouldn’t jibe with the whole waiting for the mother ship coming to pick us up story. Wake up you jack asses this is a cult! Tom please I beg of you come out of the closet already! This is 2009, not 1959!
Wait, who wears these? The people who work at the corporate headquarters or what?
@Junior
Even Mormons scoff at websites like that. And it’s NOT the favorite place of all Mormons. More like Utah Mormons.
Man, that’s some groovy gear!
All the hep cats will be flocking in to the Co$ now.
Wheres the billion year contract? Sign me up!
I am a french clown

Some anti-Scientology protesters assembled their own ideal org uniforms. Have a look:

Thank God I got out. Thank God I got out!
I just can’t believe it. Staff’s gonna have to pay for them, too.
The uniforms will be for Ideal Org Staff. That means the Scientologists who actually work for the church (not the “public” who just pay gobs of money for “services” or celebrities like Tom Cruise), and only the ones who work at “Ideal Orgs” which is a special kind of Scientology church. Fortunately many cities “Ideal Orgs” are years behind schedule and may never be completed due to the effect of Anonymous protesters world wide and the media’s consequential freedom to publish all the crazy shit Scientology does without fear of repercussion.
