New uniform

Yup. That kind of rig is entirely practical for use in a variety of environments and settings, and predates by many decades its appearance in the 1977 Star Wars and sequels.
Noted, but please don't hotlink images from sites belonging to other people unless the site owners have explicitly granted you permission to do so.
Human nature 101, actually.
^ Looking at that, I'm more convinced that ever that the new blue coloured 'away team jackets' are a nod to "The Cage".
I agree! I really like the changes in the uniforms. They are subtle yet true to the spirit of what we saw on TOS. Plus, what excites me even more is that it looks like we're getting an exploration type of adventure, they type of movie many fans have been waiting for!!
These new away uniforms look more TWOK & ENT than Star Wars to me.
The holster looks like something Matt Dillon or Barney Fife would wear, too.
Actually, if one is going to create a pistol-type weapon about the size of a Colt .45 for someone in the 19th century, then the 20th century, 23rd century, or a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, versions of the holster will always serve the same function and so probably always look pretty much the same, too. It's a big "so what?"

The color is definitely ENT.
Good one.
Good one.
I wonder if we'll see any cowboy diplomacy.
The black strips and the neck area actually made me think they were trying to show the slow transition from the TOS uniforms to the TNG-series era ones.
Then I remembered the maroons, and my theory went down the toilet.
Funny enough, Sulu's outfit in TSFS always seriously reminded me of Lando Calrissian's. It's the colors and the jacket. Were capes big in the early 80's and no one bothered to tell me?

But the reality is -- in the prime universe -- there was no "slow transition" to TNG uniforms. According to on-screen canon, the uniforms made a radical leap from turtleneck-less TWOK uniforms to the TNG jumpsuits (sans collar, I might add, which makes the collared TOS uniforms out of the lineage).
Also, why would we be seeing a transition to TNG starting 80 years before that era is supposed to exist?
But anyway, as we've seen, this is more in line with the PRE-TOS uniforms of The Cage.
Yes, it could not possibly be that both Star Wars and Star Trek were influenced by Westerns?
Craziness!
No. Both sprung fully formed from the minds of their creators, like Athena from the brow of Zeus.

I like the speed draw holster. I've only been thinking: "It's about fracking time!"
I know. Hence 'initial', as in it only occurred in that split second after the images hit the brain, and then the rest of my brain caught up.
Though as for 'why?' they'd do it that way, that would be for the same reason why 'things' in movies do anything - the people in charge felt like/needed to do it. If they wanted to set it up extraordinarily slowly, they'd do it. If they want the uniform to change permanently mid movie, they'd do that too.
The new uniform has action/adventure movie written all over it. Plus it seems to be a combination of several old Trek uniforms, which makes it fun for us fans to pick it apart piece by piece 
.
In any case, it's nice to have some photos this early on in the production process. With STID there was so much secrecy, it started to take all the fun out it.

OMG. Someone in the design team has been paying Star Trek Online too much!
