I like the simplicity of the overall design but then there's this huge, flashy, garish tail that jumps out at you. I would have preferred to keep the eagle, even if stylized and modernized a bit.

At least an eagle that looks like it means business...
Really? The American flag has 13 stripes. Our planes only have 11. Was a decision made that 2 of the 13 original colonies don't count? If so, which 2? Did an airport in those two fail to give AA a landing fee subsidy or something?
AA came out in its defense of the design that the tail represents the American flag. I guess they forgot how to count.

Saw the livery up close yesterday... it's not as bad in person as it was in the press releases.
The logo is growing on me as well, having seen it on the website, in print, and on the airplane.
I know most employees won't appreciate the fact AA needed a total image makeover. A subtle change wasn't going to work -- it needed a loud smack across the face type of change that would break all association with the previous branding, and in a lot of ways, the previous airline.
Love it or hate it, that's what this was intended to do.
In some ways, it's not too different from the total changeover y'all wanted in the executive suite.
Time will tell if it works or not.

Maryland and New Jersey get my vote for exclusion.

We were going to paint the ground equipment red to appease you whiners,but ultimately decided against it.
Like Eagle? Go for it.

Easy not to whine when you're sitting fat and pretty at the dinner table with 75% more.
Now that is funny! Well done JimntxReally? The American flag has 13 stripes. Our planes only have 11. Was a decision made that 2 of the 13 original colonies don't count? If so, which 2? Did an airport in those two fail to give AA a landing fee subsidy or something?

i think the livery was designed to evoke the US Airways livery as well
Also I bet that the final two stripes on the tail will be added on the bottom and extend forward on the fuselage to evoke the US Airways' belly paint

Yes, but the US Airways logo flag is gray and blue, is it not? It is a representation of A flag, not necessarily the U.S. flag.
