Would you like looks, uniforms and such re-imagined?

Look at how much the uniforms changed from Captain PIke's time to that of TOS. And look a the uniforms in the movies, followed by uniforms in the first season of TNG and what we saw by the end of DS9 and VOY. Starfleet is constantly tweeking their uniforms (not sure why). So as long as it "fits" I'm fine. If they are wearing neon purple kilts with shoulder boards and busby caps and lots of lace--okay that would be silly.

Pike to TOS isn't that big of a shift to my eyes. The movies are big departure though. The TNG era uniforms have a lot of similar beats from TNG S1 to NEM. S1 uniforms in some respects are a call back to TMP.
 
without actually seeing more then what they have, and what they have so far at least in a trailer or something to get a feel for things, i can't say one way or the other. kind of a waiting game for now.
 
Looks fake to me. Compare with:

Doesn't look fake. Looks different. Also looks expensive. And the detail matches early art made available to licensees.

The color, fabric and detail of the uniform it's on are a perfect match to the trailer.

Haven't seen that, so cannot comment. Is it online anywhere?

I'm not 100% convinced it's not minor manip of the fabric seen in the pic I posted.

With respect- and I'm assuming you're referring to the badge- it isn't necessarily "expensive."

I earned a number of qualification badges while in the military, and some of them looked pretty intricate, detailed, etc... but were purchased from the on-post uniform shop for like, $5.99.

Other than that, I agree with you, and also enjoy the look of this uniform... although, I hope it's more of a dress uniform, or at least a service uniform. Looks a bit haughty for a duty or utility uniform.

Mass production brings down costs. You're comparing a prop for a show that they may make 20 or 30 of at most to something manufactured and shipped out in crates.
