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)

That was just Wesley wearing civilian clothes, that's not a uniform, it shouldn't be here. MaGnUs 01:47, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, it was worn with a communicator, and Picard wore a similar tunic with rank insignia later in the series, giving at least a hint that it could have been a uniform (and not provisional, to reinforce my previous note). What is your source for saying its only civilian clothes? -- Captain MKB 01:50, 26 August 2009 (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)

Skant revisited

>While most officers wore the single-piece duty uniform jumpsuit, several variants were available, including a two-piece style uniform, featuring a long tunic (worn by individuals including Dr. Katherine Pulaski). A "skant" variant was also available.

The Pulaski article indicates that she herself wore the "skant" varint, and mentions nothing about a tunic. There should probably be some sort of consistancy on the site (I'm sure a search for "skant" and "tunic" will turn up all of the instances on the site that could be inconsistant. Someone should check them out, and give the two uniforms separate distinct names. TheHYPO 22:41, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

And on that topic, why is it being called a skant anyway? It doesn't seem to have any "pant" properties, and it's clearly a full length dress, not a skirt... TheHYPO 22:54, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

McCoy's "uniform"

Is there any info in bg sources for Admiral McCoy's uniform in "Encounter at Farpoint"? Is this a uniform? - Archduk3:talk 19:49, December 17, 2009 (UTC)

Wesley's Commbadge

Look at the badges I'm not sure if I was looking at it correctly, but I believe Wesley's commbadge is different from everyone else. I think it has a silver background on it while everyone else has a gold background? Is there a better pic to prove this, or am I just imagining things?--Rkdew0 09:51, December 24, 2009 (UTC)

Both this and this are some of his first/last images and they both look gold though the first one looks a bit silver due to the reflection. — Morder (talk) 09:55, December 24, 2009 (UTC)

To be honest I was talking about when he was an acting ensign. So that first pic you had was good but you cant get a real good view. I was able to get this screen cap of Picard and Wesley side-by-sde and his definately looks like its silver, unless I'm looking at it wrong. --Rkdew0 10:21, December 24, 2009 (UTC)
