McDonald's got new uniforms for its employees, and the internet has a lot to say about them. The new uniforms feature an all-gray design that many people are claiming gives off serious sci-fi and "dystopian" vibes. The uniforms were designed by Waraire Boswell, who, according to McDonald's, "is a celebrity designer known for dressing established A-list celebrities, talk show hosts, and professional athletes."
In a statement about McDonald's new uniforms, Jez Langhorn, McDonald's senior director of HR, said, "Our new collections focus on comfort, fit, functionality and contemporary professionalism, delivering a uniform that crew and managers will feel comfortable to work in and proud to wear. Beyond that, it's another step in the company's continuous effort to raise the bar by investing in people and improving the restaurant experience with a focus on hospitality."
McDonald's shared a tweet with a timeline of what the uniforms have looked like over the years.

And immediately people started making comparisons to sci-fi movies.
Do the new #McDonalds uniforms remind you of #StarWars Imperial officers? "I find your lack of fries disturbing." http://pic.twitter.com/r6w7WTzwJe
