Talk:Starfleet uniform (2350s-2370s)

Skant

Mention should be made of this uniform variant (woman behind Worf): [1] – The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.38.129.240.

any better pictures? --Bp 17:02, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

I originally provided Spike with the screenshots, so I can assure you, there is no better view of that uniform variety that was only seen in a few episodes in TNG's second season. It basically is the first season skant with black trousers underneath. It was only worn by female officers and was seen in "The Child", "The Schizoid Man" and again in "Samaritan Snare". --Jörg 21:31, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

re: "provisional"

since Wesley's uniform was never specified to be "only for provisional officers", i hardly think we should call it that.

i had called it a "gray uniform" but my edits were reverted. -- Captain M.K.B. 14:56, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

comparison page

• The data and lore picture are colliding with the all uniform picture. I'm not sure the best means of fixing this. So I thought i'd at least make note of it.-- Andorian sushi 09:58, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

• PNA: What exactly is the purpose of this page?I see nothing which couldn't be included in the main article, if it already isn't there. Kennelly 16:45, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

• Merge Suggestion: Building on what Kennelly said above, what is the purpose of this page? Everything here can and should be in the main article. There doesn't appear to be any "comparison" here anyway...– Cleanse 05:09, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

• Agreed and merged, more than half the content was identical anyway. --Alan 19:09, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Color switching

Has there ever been an explanation for why the command and operations colors were switched for the TNG series and onwards from their originals? --Canoe Squad Ensign 23:48, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

It was acknowledged in "Trials and Tribble-ations":

* BASHIR: "Wait a minute, aren't you two in the wrong colors?"

* O'BRIEN: "Don't you know anything about this time period?"

* BASHIR: "I'm a doctor, not an historian."

* SISKO: "In the old days, operations officers wore red, command officers wore gold, and --"

* DAX: "And women wore less."

But no, it was never explained. --Alan del Beccio 23:55, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Scientist Variant

There has at least been one more variant it didn't found mentioned here, which was only seen with Scientist that may or may not have been part of Starfleet. For example with the anthropological observation team in "who watches the watchers"... this variant is rather dark gray with a bar over the breast in another materiel...

[2], [3]

It did also appear in 2 or 3 other episodes, but i'm not absolutely sure in which.

As for the question: is this a starfleet uniform: it looks at least like one so it must be very close to starfleet even if it is for "civilian use" only.. --145.254.102.245 20:47, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Other occurrences include an unfortunate Brittain officer in "Night Terrors", and I think during the crash or evacuation sequence in "Generations" there were some on the Ent-D. My guess would be civilian scientist. Also, some of the Amargosa observatory personnel did I think. - AJ Halliwell 21:27, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

"The Bonding" also features an Enterprise science officer beaming up from the surface in this uniform [4]. - AJ Halliwell 03:10, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
