New uniform

Very true!
What classic car are they destroying this time?
You can clearly see that its not sand but a tarp. There is a seam directly behind Quintos head. Also you can see the shadow of his seat right on some creases on the lower side of the tarp, which indicates that it is mere centimeters away from it. And the upper part of the tarp is brighter because more light is shining through as compared to the increasingly darker areas on the lower side where the creases are. The tarp is lets less and less light shine through the more its beeing folded. And for the last, you can see stains on the tarp that you typically get when the tarp is stored folded.

Maybe not a tarp as much as a tent. He could be taking a break inside a tent if they really are filming a "desert" scene at that quarry.
Probably cooler in there. Same material as a canvas tarp and it doesn't look like Zachary is in direct sunlight.
Agreed - just looks very off. I don't think it's the weird angle that the picture was taken at, either, as the Simon Pegg photo of a red version of the top doesn't really look any better, IMO. I do, however, like the more tailored look to the shoulders and seams.

Well, Lin is directing. Makes that ST09 scene more appropriate now.
As long as I don't see any more late-60's-era Dodge Chargers get smashed. I love those cars and it seems to have been quote in-vogue for various movies in the last decade to kill that particular model of vehicle. They're not getting any less rare, either... 
I believe it was a 1965 Corvette that Kirk drove off the cliff in ST09. Also, I don't think they actually destroyed the car.As long as I don't see any more late-60's-era Dodge Chargers get smashed.

The collar on the new standard uniform does look a little strange but I personally like this redesign much better than the uniform used in the last two films. Those looked like costumes to me or pajamas with the delta shield logo all over them. This new one looks like something a paramilitary organization may wear.
To clarify, I was actually referring to other movies and shows, like Blade, several Fast & Furious movies, and most famously, Dukes of Hazzard, who all famously wrecked vintage Chargers of that era, each time making me cry. I know I've seen others, but those are the ones that come readily to mind.
The plummeting 'Vette in Trek09 honestly didn't bother me.

It probably would've gotten recalled anyway.
As I said in my first post several pages before. Probably a tent as sun protection during breaks.
This was my thought, the cut is reminicient of the grey ones.
They sure don't look formal to me. I'd expect some piping or something to make it look more like something worn for an occasion. Medals, too.
The way Quinto is lounging there, he's not exactly making the uniform look its best.
They just seem to be a throwback to the solid-colored TOS uniforms. They're more tailored than those because the budget allowed it.
I will say that if they were going to make this kind of change, solid ST09-style shirts would've been my preference over adding a collar, but it's hardly a deal breaker to me.

Maybe some kind of variant for cold weather?
