Constantly changing uniforms is the most realistic thing about Starfleet
imagine there’s some wicked fashion obsessed long living alien admiral that every few years raises a tantrum: “o no no we gotta change the uniforms. people look awful now! how disgusting!”
and… she looks like edina monsoon
This is my head canon.
When a new race/planet joins the Federation, they get to design the new uniforms. Troi’s people were responsible for the TOS miniskirts.
What a fun explanation. I love this.
Cadet: Wait, there’s no laundry on the ship?
Ensign: Nope. We just wear a few uniforms in rotation then toss them all into the replicator when the new ones come out.
Interesting theory, but the logistics of such a thing are a little crazy. What happens if multiple species joins in the same year?
Off the top of my head. Say there are five new members. Planet A’s uniform is worn for half a year, then the Bs get a turn, and so on and so on…
Remember the argument the creators had about giving Patrick Stewart a wig? One said said that in the future there’d be a cure for baldness, and the other side felt that in the future people wouldn’t care about baldness.
The new races would see that it was a symbolic thing. Kind of like teams wearing pink to support breast cancer awareness.
‘this could have been a subspace communiqué’
The amount of frog eye in that movie was like discovering the final frontier. Poor Decker.
Is that like moose knuckle?
Ya, but for dudes.
“it looks like a little toucan in his pants!” my wife while watching this.
Moose Knuckle is already Camel Toe for dudes, AFAIK.
They probably started phasing those uniforms out after Ilia arrived on the bridge and Decker had his captain’s log on full display.
The technology for the basic dance belt was lost during WWIII.
It should be about that one guy’s forehead. Jesus. It’s like a 10 head.
I zoomed in and scrolled from right to left for your comment. Phew
I love the TOS movies… but man those TMP uniforms were rough.
So… much… beige.
Viewer off. VIEWER OFF!
chill motherfucker
