I think by episode 2, I'll not even notice.
Thoughts on Discovery Starfleet Uniforms (Trailer Edition)

Having seen the uniforms up close at San Diego Comic Con, I'm now a little more hip to them. I especially like the medical and jumpsuit variations.
However, the problem I see with the uniforms now is that they're blue on blue backgrounds. And that's my issue with Discovery's aesthetic—there's no contrasting colors and there's a lack of color in the show's palette. That makes the characters blur into the shot rather than stand out.

This is why I think JJTrek has a much much better look than Discovery. There's contrast, the aesthetics are way more appealing and interesting to me, instead of just a blue mess. JJTrek looks slick, modern, stylish, without making EVERYTHING blue.
I've had similar feelings, and I am an overweight person. The TOS uniforms are form-fitting for men and women, and can be unflattering if the person wearing the outfit is not in the best shape. You can only size up the TOS tunics so much before they just start to look like gaudily-colored sweaters.
Agree. 100%.
TOS is still my favorite. If you look at how people have abandoned formal clothing in recent years, it makes sense that people in the future might work in pajamas.
One of the best designs of Starfleet uniforms, in my opinion.
I agree. I like both the 2009-Into Darkness and the Beyond uniforms. I think the Beyond uniforms more from the surprise, because they looked too stiff and formal, but seeing them in the movie actually worked nicely.
I still don't get the shoulder pads.
That part I'm still trying to sort out as well, but overall I do like the design. Maybe those are to block the defensive line?
Maybe Dynasty came back in a big way in the JJverse.
I took another shot at adding some more "trek" to Discovery.
I like the black trousers there. Wish they'd gone with those instead of the jumpsuit effect. There was a shot of the new uniforms on display where the trousers looked black because of the overhead lighting, and I thought that looked much better.
They could hide the zips, too. Funny the original show went to such trouble to hide the zippers to look futuristic and now Discovery has made them a focal point.
The white trim on the boots makes them look like Converse from afar.

Here's my quick attempt at ops both TOS and second pilot. I also added some TOS palate and subduing the blues to the background. I feel these minor changes make a big difference.
Midnight's Edge - (YouTube) has hit the nail on the head in regard to Discovery - this is a Reboot. Plain and simple. Due to Copyright they're not allowed to use the Original designs so that's why its closer to Bad Robot Kelvin Universe.
The fact that they've lied to us fans has annoyed me the most. Telling us its in the Prime Universe and they've had Super Fans in the writing rooms to make sure that the essence of the Prime Universe is maintained is a load of rubbish.
The uniforms are all wrong, the redesigns of the Klingons is embarrassing. It'll last one season before cancellation.

But CBS owns Star Trek, how can they not own the designs to TOS? They publish/licence TOS products all the time.
The Midnight's Edge video is bullshit.
They're not using the TOS designs because it isn't the 1960s anymore.
It is prime universe in STORY. It may not match with TOS in looks, but the story is meant to tie into the Prime Universe and TOS via lore and writing.

It is staggering how many people are willing to accept any crazy and blatantly counterfactual thing they hear on YouTube as truth. Please explain how 'copyright' will prevent them from using the original design.
How much did you donate to Axenar again?
