Here Are The New Ghostbusters Uniforms

ghostbusters-featThe 2016 Ghostbusters’ sense of style isn’t that far off from the old school look.

Paul Feig’s Ghostbusters movie is currently in production, which means we’re going to start seeing more and more glimpses of the film itself.  The all-female team of new Ghostbusters– played by Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon, for the uninitiated– is the most pallatable part of this reboot/ sequel/ whatever… but I have to admit it will be kinda comforting to see the ladies rocking uniforms clearly inspired by the classic outfits worn by Venkman, Stantz, Spengler, and Zeddemore.

It’s worth noting, another commenter wrote that because Ghostbusters fans have grown up, we deserve a “darker, grittier, spookier film.” I’m choosing to think of this as the sharpest satire I’ve read in a long time, and not a legitimate request.  Please let me hang onto my dream.
