New Costumes

I, too, am with ScoutN. It's not that I'm partial to tucked-in shirts, it's the attention to detail. If I feel like more attention is paid to employee comfort than is paid to making a good impression on the customer, that sets a negative tone for the whole park.
I'm not advocating that the CMs lives be made a living hell, but they need to understand that they are in the hospitality business. They are there to facilitate the experience of the guests, and part of that is sort of being willing to experience some minor discomfort to improve the overall impression of the space.

Are the new outfits just for ride operators or for everybody? I can see a simpler outfit being better for a ride op job, but the old outfits would still be cool for other positions.
They're for everyone. Oktoberfest employees are supposed to start wearing them on the 27th which is the first day of Illuminights. I should have pictures later.

Oh trust me, the employees experience a lot of "minor discomforts" and I don't think that a compny who actually cares about their employees would set a negative tone for the park. And its not like the new shirts are extremely long and they look really nice.

It's not a matter of caring for employees. Colonial Williamsburg, just down the street, has their employees dressed up in wool coats and knee-high socks. Is that to say they don't care about their employees? Colonial Williamsburg is, itself, little more than a theme park, where people go to experience a slice of 17th/18th century Colonial America. Busch Gardens is a theme park that people go to in order to experience a nice day in a romanticized European setting. All I'm saying is that the primary consideration of the park managers has to be to reinforce that illusion, not to cut the employees a break. After all, you don't see the re-enactors down the street opting for nice, professional-looking, short sleeved polo shirts because it's so hot in the summer time, do you?
All that said, I've not seen the shirts, and reserve final judgement until I have.
I don't think the not tucked in shirts are because of employee complaints, I can see the reason for the new shirts is to give the park a new style
Ha those look awful.
Why did you photoshop out the background? Looks like someone got "eraser tool happy"

I was holding the shirt on a coat hanger and took the picture in a mirror and I don't want the picture to show who I am
Ahhhh...But we all know you're the Dippin Dots Guy.... 
Regardless, hello park employee.
They look like something a soccer coach would wear.

Yea, I think it looks like a European style. I'm OK with shirts that represent the hamlets through the use of the country's colors.
