    The fabric shops were sold out of all colors apart from "Old Hospital Floor."

    Favorite formal uniform: The Wrath of Kahn uniforms

    Favorite duty uniform: Enterprise uniforms. They look to be comfortable to wear, and have pockets and patches.

    Apparently in the future shitting is no longer necessary.

    Someone at Harvard must have written a thesis on why images of the future in science fiction always includes unitards.

    Sorry OP, but TMP uniforms are the worst in any Trek and it's not even close.

    The only one who looks good in that picture is Ilia, and that's because she isn't in uniform.

    (I will make a small concession for Bones' collar, but even that isn't enough to redeem the overall look. Even the female crewmember in the background with the same collar can't pull it off.)

    I've said it before...

    My head canon is that each time a new planet / race joins the Federation they get to pick a new design for the uniforms.

    Troi's Betazeds gave us the TOS miniskirts.

    My answer is Voyager. But, SNW did a good job of updating the classic TOS design. The problem is, you don't notice the details often because they're too subtle:

    The actual original series uniforms don’t get nearly enough love, especially the women’s. The little well-hidden shoulder zipper, the asymmetry, the seaming , really great stuff. The men’s uniform is a tad boring but the women’s is fantastic.

    I have a decent reproduction, love wearing it.

    They kinda blew their wad on the music and the sweeping ship porn shots. Wardrobe drew the short straw.

    Man, people clown on George Lucas when he's left without constraints, but he's got nothing on Roddenberry except that the OT hit big enough that we got to see it. Roddenberry was deeply involved in the story of TPM, including the novelization.

    My name is James Tiberius Kirk. Kirk because my father and his male forebears followed the old custom of passing along a family identity name. I received James because it was both the name of my father's beloved brother as well as that of my mother's first love instructor [insert Spock raised eyebrow here]. Tiberius, as I am forever tired of explaining, was the Roman emperor whose life for some unfathomable reason fascinated my grandfather Samuel. This is not trivial information. For example, the fact that I use an old-fashioned male surname says a lot about both me and the service to which I belong. Although the male-surname custom has become rare among humans elsewhere, it remains a fairly common thing among those of us in Starfleet. We are a highly conservative and strongly individualistic group. The old customs die hard with us. We submit ourselves to starship discipline because we know it is made necessary by the realities of deep-space exploration. We are proud that each of us has..."

    And so it goes. The basic premise is that the enlightened Starfleet officers we all know and love are actually philosophical luddites and prudes, semi-exiled from earth because space is the only place their weird attitudes offer any value to human society. Not a terrible concept, really and one that other sci-fi has explored to varying degrees, but way weirder than anything collaboratively-produced Star Trek would imply, and reading between the lines it sounds like Roddenberry is almost apologizing for what Star Trek had to be in order to get made at all.

    Science fiction is about hope for the future, and the idea shared by all science fiction writers that one day we will get rid of the pants problem plaguing society.

    Seconded.

    (SA mention)(And I apologize if this is crass, but I can't help but see a connection between his crime of exposing himself to underage relatives and his choice not to wear a jock in the TMP: a sick desire to inflict his exhibitionism on others.)

    I really like Kirk's uniform, but the others are kind of plain. Though I do love McCoy's plunging neckline.
