Strange New Worlds Costuming

I don't have any problems updating the monster maroons, but to stream line it. When Admiral Kirk stepped on the bridge in TWOK, it seemed the jacket was 2 inches thick and had trouble moving in it. No problem having them redesign it to fit better, be more comfortable. But adding the shoulders/sleeves was to much. They said they wanted to Link it to SNW.. well, Why? TWOK uniforms don't link to the Tos uniforms. there there own thing.
Otherwise Anson rocked that uniform, and in general, that maroon stands out and just looks damn good, like Marine dress blues.
 
"Screwed up" in the sense that the new design is worse than the original.

Nobody's debating whether the design comports with established canon (which would be a pretty pointless argument where SNW is concerned), but that they took an already too-busy and fussy design and made it even busier.



Interesting. Wonder if "actor preference" explains his uniform variant from TMP?

Everyone in TMP would've looked better if Spock's notched collar had been part of their standard uniforms.

And if they had two-toned the uniforms like Kirk's Admiral uniform with the sleeves and outer panels being darker than the central chest and back panels.

And if the perscan devices were on actual belts.

And if the pants were darker.

And if the boots weren't incorporated into the pants.

Or just different unis lol

TMP unis were bad, IMO

Region locked :(

Time to pull out the VPN

The concept art for Admiral Pike's uniform lacks the shoulder detailing.

It's cool they were able to get screen used costumes for direct reference for the Admiral and Uhura ones.

Yep all of that, and slightly padded shoulders. There is a strong TMP vibe to the medical outfits in SNW and Discovery. A modern update would be easy.

I really hate the leggings in SNW.
 
"It's very exciting to know that we're taking full ownership of what made this entire franchise so special and powerful..."

Honestly, they did that on Week One. :cool:
 
So.. they had the original literally in there hands.. And still missed the gold piping on the tunic.. . ... Sleeves still look hideous..

The "gold piping" looks like Mylar soutache braid that you buy off of a roll at any fabric store for a few cents.

Because that's what it was.

Not really all that dressy.
 
But they're so comfortable for costuming.
We don't watch Sci fi for comfortable costuming! Where would we all be if Jeri Ryan had been allowed to wear a sensible, logical, practical outfit? Plus the Borg generally would look like an avant-garde mime troupe if wearing leggings. Next you will be suggesting that aliens should not have to wear uncomfortable prosthetics. Smooth headed Klingons?That's just crazy talk!

Sigh I suppose I will have to get on board and just freeze frame looking for the Pike unit.

I was referring to fan costuming.
 
I got a badge from QMX, a tunic from Cosermart, have trousers on order from them and am waiting for the boots from Fluevog.
How is the fit on the Cosermart stuff? I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on them.
