Uniform alternative versions

I was wondering if anyone has done a Motion Picture uniform (2-piece) in black pants, with a muted TOS-color, and black collars? I don't have Photoshop, but I think this might've been a good way to handle the uniforms at this time.

And to a broader question, what's your own uniform timeline for Trek? It doesn't have to be the canon version, if you don't want to have it that way.

For me:
2153-2165: Ent Uniform
2165-2195: Post-Ent Uniform as in Rise of the Federation
2195-2215: ? zip-up department-color shirt, black piping along shoulders, black undershirt (shows as collar), black pants
2215-2244: work shirt in muted colors
2244-2269: TOS Uniform (ignoring the Cage/WNMHGB muted versions)
2269-2274: Motion Picture uniforms in muted TOS colors
2274-2315: TWoK uniforms
2315-2332: WoK captain's vest-style as a jacket, department color undershirts
2332-2364: TNG-style uniforms
2364-2395: My custom TNG/TWoK hybrid

 

Here's a quick-and-dirty attempt at a Sciences version:



Personally, I'm increasingly in favour to something similar to the RotF version crossed with elements of the WNMHGB version and the TOS movies (black pants, 4+ divisional coloured shirts, potentially tan/khaki field uniforms with optional jacket and a dark-gray/black SpecOps variant). Examples of my rough attempts to depict this are in my DeviantArt gallery (http://shamrockholmes.deviantart.com/gallery/).

 

Here's some designs i made.

 

Looks more legit than what we got

 

Thanks, I hated the bland colors as well, I did like the designs though. I made the black collar part a little smaller since it looked too big on the original uniform and boom. The next phase of TOS Uniforms.

 

Oh myyy! They're great!

 

Those look great. Uhura really suits that wrap around tunic.

 

Your images were deleted. I would like to see them sometime if you can re-upload them.

 

I would go with what you have done, but without the belt bit, and perhaps with metal pin versions of the embroidered TMP ones rather than embroidered TOS ones.

 

Sure thing. I did some minor touchups on the collar part as well since I thought it looked a bit too big and changed the pants altogether.

 

If I were a billionaire, I would pay some serious cash to have someone digitally alter ST: TMP to include these design elements.

Very nice.

 

Very nice! Wasn't actually expecting you do it so great to see. Something like this would certainly have been a good direction for TMP to have gone with.

 

And to expand on that, Here's what TMP might have looked like with those uniforms.

 

The use of the badges, as well as the color, really works very well.

 

After seeing this we really really got gypped in 1979......

 

Gotten a chance to reevalute and appreciate more of the color.

First of all, the colors are really nice, and stand out against the bulkheads really well, which, in a visual medium is a very good thing.

Secondly, the Admiral's uniform still works incredibly well, even with the other uniforms. I would honestly be curious to see if there are other variations from TMP uniforms that would work with the different colors, because they stand out so well.

Finally, am I the only one getting a bit of a "Beyond" flavor with this design? Not exactly replication, but similar lines?

 

The darker blue of the Sciences shirt perhaps? TOS used a lighter blue, sky blue or cyan.

 

Thank you. Along with the uniforms I also made the turbolift doors red to represent their TOS counterpart. I also added a TOS computer in the breakroom scene. my goal was to bridge the gap so to speak. The Admiral uniform was the only TMP uniform I liked. The uniform tunic designs are fine but the all grey/beige and white colors didn't do it for me.

The science uniforms I edited are the same blue as in TOS. The darker lighting of TMP just makes them appear darker. The Beyond uniforms have darker blue borderline cyan color.

 

I was thinking more the gold and the cut of the top of the tunic.
