Does anyone like TMP uniforms?

New TOSified version of the TMP uniforms.

Nice.

The thing with the TMP color scheme though is the it wasn't Roddenberry trying something new. It was him going back to his original Cage color scheme.

Everything I've read about TMP has said that the TMP uniforms and color schemes were Wise's choice, not Roddenberry's. Wise thought that the bright and colorful TOS uniforms would look gaudy on the big screen, and Roddenberry chose not to fight him on it.
 
It's a shame Wise thought that way. Those uniforms look great with the primary colors.

I really like your selection of primary colors there, but I'm afraid I find that the black collars look awful. The exaggerated size compared to the original size works well when the collars are subtly only outlined, as they were in the film, but when they're filled in with their own color like that: ick!
 
I agree, I'm not a big fan on where the pointed V shape is. I think it works on Uhura's uniform but for Kirk and Spock I think it's too big. I may tackle them again sometime soon.

Concur. Probably look better with only the inner "crew neck area" bit black, or the V-shaped piece reduced to the inner crew neck.
 
Okay, I made the collar part much smaller and zapped away the original seam. Spock's was a bit harder to do with his extra collar from the shirt he was wearing underneath but I think it came out really good for the most part.

A very definite improvement! It might be even better with no inflection at all when coming to the point of the V, but I think you're at the point of diminishing returns.

I gave it a first glance and I thought it just looked off. It reminded me of those Star Trek The Experience shirts. I am happy with them as they are now. I plan on tackling the rest of the crew as well.

Yeah, I wasn't suggesting to remove the V point altogether. That would look bad.

Good work!
 
I don't particularly care for the TMP uniforms in general, but the Admiral uniform Kirk wore at the beginning was awesome.

One thing I'll say for the TMP uniforms, though, is that I appreciate that they retained the easy-to-understand rank ribbons. While I like the maroon jacket uniforms, I don't find the rank pins intuitive in the least.
