Late 24th century uniform

I always thought the Jupiter uniform did. I didn't start until just before the first or second anniversary though. The December before FTP.

The Jupiter Uniforms were the first new 25th century uniforms they added post-launch.
 
I was kind of mistaken.
There are are 5 Variants for the Sierra and Antares uniforms (don't take these colours as STO 'canon' I didn't customize them at all, just used the colours already applied)

There are also "Long", Dress and Tactical variants of the odyssey uniform (in that order)

I like that version of the Antares, though mid/dark blue rather than dark-grey/black would probably be better. Gives it a more "modernised ENT" look. Which as the ENT uniforms were IMO the best practicallity, likely comfort and everyday wear (though not perhaps the best looking) is a good thing for me.
 
I've done a bit more looking into the STO uniform thing. I've never played, so I'm not that overly familiar with it. However, it seems like the Countdown uniform is an amalgamation of the Perpetual uniform that JD already mentioned:

Nope, the Countdown uniform was available as an option in Cryptic's STO from beta until at least the last time I logged in (2-3 years ago IIRC). I think it was called "Sierra 02" or something generic like that. I usually rolled in the First Contact unis myself. Much classier. Its the 2409 uniform below.

It looks like the dropped the white piping on the collar between Countdown and the go-live of STO, but overall it's pretty much the same.

I thought the post you quoted part of mentioned the similarity between "Countdown" and "Sierra"? They are certainly similar, but "Sierra" doesn't look *identical* to "Countdown", just with the white piping removed, at least to my eye, anyway?

"Jupiter Uniforms?" You mean shiny silver jumpsuits? ;)

All that tin foil helps them to stay fresh during many months in space! ;)
 
Here's a link to the only image of the Countdown uniform I can find on MB, it is very similar to the STO Sierra uniform, but not quite the same. There is a bit of black on the chest, the black piping on the shoulder looks thicker, and they added a small black rectangle on the should.
Of all of them the "future" uniforms, those two are my favorites. The Odyssey isn't bad, but I just like the uniforms better when they have a bit more color on them.
 
Was it fan-made? I'm pretty sure that a number of the photoshopped images on Memory Beta are actually illustrations from Star Trek Magazine.

That image was fan made according to its data:

Image photomanipulation based on Riker's uniform from the book cover, and Data's appearance in "All Good Things".

Okay, I checked the actual page in question, and it credits the image to an M.K. Bartel (Captainmike). But not all photomanipulations on Memory Beta are fan-made; as I said, many of them are from Star Trek Magazine and were created by its graphics department.
 
I'm 90% sure that the basis for that Photoshop is a shot of Forbes as Admiral Cain from Battlestar Galactica, and it seems like they'd be way more uptight about that sort of thing that Starfleet, so I'm guessing it's allowable.

(Insert my rant on BSG's weird hot-and-cold approach to hair continuity here)
