Russia going back to pre-Soviet iconography sounds like a different thing.
Uniforms in the new series
- Thread starter Shalashaska
- Start date
badges/pins
U.S. Air Force: Judge Advocate-scales of justice; Chaplain-a cross; security forces-a shield similar to that of a civilian cop's badge
U.S. Coast Guard uses the caduceus for medical
Use of these old symbols implies a certain historical depth. Which might help Trek obtain a certain verisimilitude

More like easy identification for the audience.
I was watching The Enemy Below (World War II destroyer versus U-boat). Noticed that both crews wore relatively simple, comfortable looking outfits. Insignia was fairly sparse (compared to a dress uniform), except for hats worn by a few officers.

I think there should be a limit on the amount of personal tech gear carried around. No personal force fields, maybe when there is a security event show them putting on vests or unpowered armor (B5 style). Something that would deflect or ablate a phaser blast but not invincible. Also moving parts and vfx add considerably to the budget, so lower tech is better.
Frankly, I just want to see a series with uniforms that make sense (excluding DS9). Enterprise did a decent job, but those kinds of uniforms wouldn't necessarily fit in well (depending on when the new series takes place). Just give these people some functional, simplistic uniforms. The reboot uniforms were closer to something I'd like to see, so if they could mesh those with the Enterprise uniforms, I'd be pleased.
The television series M*A*S*H feature fairly simple, functional uniforms.
Ooooo....they should wear hats like Radar's. But only the senior officers. And only on dress uniforms.
Snuggies.
There were a few different uniforms seen in STXI and STID. I didn't really care for the grey "service dress" uniform (Kirk and Spock being dressed down by Pike), a bit too WWII'ish (apparently that was intentional) and the "work uniforms" was essentially the same as in TOS, but with a modern pattern in the fabric.
Which ones were you thinking of?
I don't know about Thomas Kelvin but IMO the most ENT-ish, functional simplistic uniforms where either the flight suits worn over the regular uniforms during shuttle trips (which somewhat resembled improved DS9/VOY field uniforms) which I liked (but would have prefered in black or dark blue), or the "Service Greys" which I thought weren't bad style wise, but would work better in a dark blue (cf the UESF Admirals Service Uniform).
Since Star Trek Discovery is set in the 2250's, I decided to take a shot at subtly updating the uniforms from The Cage. I decided to use traditional TOS division colors instead of the pilot colors. Red shirts are a must in any Star Trek series. I've also depicted female and combat variants of the uniform.
My only question is why such a large belt buckle? It seems like a nitpick, but honestly, it looks awkward for combat.
Just an observation. The rest look really cool.

I'm hoping for something similar to Star Trek Beyond's updated TOS Enterprise unis. Bright, bold colours and a badge instead of a patch.
I really am hoping they don't have the TNG/DS9/VOY/ENT shoulder stripe thing, or black or grey as the main colour.
