A fascination for the Uniform

Don't you just love a man/woman in a uniform...?

I do... :twisted:

The uniforms I still like best, even if they look kind of outdated now, are the ones in TOS, I especially appreciate their Dress Uniforms, they may look all glittery and silly, but they still beat the latest Dress Uniforms by a landslide, call me old-fashioned, but I don't like the idea of a Starfleet Officer looking like a restaurant waiter...

And what about alien uniforms...?
I really like the Cardassian uniforms, so martial and rigid, and I appreciate the change they made to the Romulan uniforms, they look great now that they took away the "very eighties" shoulder over-padding... Yep... I think the new Romulan uniforms are my favourite...

Oh, I agree. I think the TOS ones were one of my favs, although I really like the alternate universe ones. Hey, give me bare arms and a view of a hairy chest any day.

I also liked the flowing dress that Deana wore on TNG. Cardie uniforms were fly, as well. Gul Dukat...*wolf whistle* Although I'm not sure I've seen the new Rommie ones. Can you post a pic?

Ooooooh! I love the leather belt thing she's got going on there.

Nice!

Yep, I'm also quite partial to the boots...

I think I'd prefer a more rounded toe, but the boots are definitely rockin'!

I've got boots like that. They're dead comfy.

One has to love the TOS "mini dress" uniforms for the female crew members. Delightfully un-pc (and impractical really, especially on away missions).

I thought the best uniform overall, however, was the "movie" uniform (see my avatar). A little more military, easy wearing, and flattering, they made a lot of sense while being more visually interesting than the others.

Oh...and Lily? I'd love to see you in those boots, JUST the boots... :love:

I found the pants the men wore on TOS to be rather unusual looking. They kind of poofed out at the bottom and were tucked into their boots. I liked the pants on TNG much better. The little slit on the bottom was a nice touch, IMHO.

Those short dresses on TOS would have been uncomfortable when sitting on one of those cold looking bridge chairs. :wink:

Now, boots. I love boots. A man in tight riding pants and knee high boots. :love:

No, it's the tight blue jeans and pointy snake-skin cowboy boots with the spurs. :love:

I have to agree with Toast about those movie-era uniforms. They were the best, in my opinion. Gave the crew a very professional and classy appearance while still being practical. They just looked military.

Would you include the TMP "pajama-looking" uniforms as well...?
Or are you talking about the burgundy and black ones that came later on...?

Captain Cisco · #13 Post by **Captain Cisco** » November 19th, 2004, 6:14 pm

No, I'm talking the TWOK and later ones. :lol:

Oh, ok... your comment about looking military should have given it away...

Captain Cisco · #15 Post by **Captain Cisco** » November 19th, 2004, 6:17 pm

Yeah, pastels just don't do it for me. :lol:

I think the design of those was really nice, but they just chose the worst colours ever... to bad...
