For me it’s the 1989 Invasion of Panama uniforms with the bush hats:




Vietnam War/AVRN tiger stripe camo a close second:



Historically I’ve also thought the uniforms worn in the War of 1812 are some of the best designed uniforms:

That Tiger stripe beats the shite out of those BDU’s. My personal favorite was the class B army Khakis.

Your standard-issued dogface G.I. of World War II



along with the "pink and green" class A uniform. I'm glad they brought those back.

We called them cabbage patch covers. My unit didn't use them during OJC but some units did. Looking back on the era BDUs tended to look sloppy as hell, at least in the Army we knew how to roll a sleeve up properly (looking at you crayon eaters).

For modern US uniforms it is hard to beat the 1st Cav horse detachment.
