Oh I haven't seen that one. I know there was at least one concept without that detailing.
Not quite. The paneling on the shoulder goes all the way down to the flap on the jacket in that drawing, meeting the paneling on the other side at the bottom of the collar, but on the final version, it's higher up, ending at the collar only a little below the shoulder, matching the "present day" version of the textured patch in size and angle. Then the corner of the flap was brought down so it would be parallel to the edge of the textured part (and not to the shoulder, like in the original version and this art), so the strap had to be longer, and that's how you end up with it looking like his jacket was too small and he had to stretch the clasp out.
I can see how it happened, I just don't agree with that solution to the mismatch between the concept for the update and the TOS version, the leathery arms are weird enough on the jacket as it is, if they were going to add it anyway, lean into it, make the patch bigger, suggest that they'd just keep growing out of control in this version of history and Romulan War Timeline Picard would be wearing an entirely snakeskin version of the TNG season 1 uniform. Having said that, it's definitely a more successful recreation of an old costume than PIC's FC and TNG uniforms, which were consistently oversized, lumpy, and for some reason had the tabs on the zippers sticking up all the time.

Reminds me of a better executed "Centaur-type".
Can't wait for them to do a Stargazer show set in the 2340s or so and set certain segments of the fandom off by completely redesigning the uniforms of that era.[/QUOTE
I've never been overly convinced about the "Monster Maroons" as an everyday service uniform so if they address that I'd be cool with it.
Nixing the "Monster Maroons" as the dress uniform OTOH I'd be a little more peeved by.
It's another NX that landed wrong.
They have been doing a lot of upside-down shots and barrel-rolls. It might just be the only one that's the right way up.It's another NX that landed wrong.
I don't think so, because those rings weren’t meant for visiting ships. The Titan just used the empty one while it was being repaired.
It got love in Relics.
In all honesty, I love the TMP Refit Connie over the TOS Connie myself.Just did a rewatch and found it interesting that Jack really fanboys over the Enterprise-A, the retro lines and how he's Connie guy. Yet the New Jersey, an original Connie gets no love.
Hell, I like the Phase 2 Connie over the TOS Connie.
I'm a TOS Connie man myself but I do love me a good TMP Era Refit.
"No, Captain. We're not greenlighting the Maroon Onesie with a butt flap.
We've talked about this and it's bad enough Captain Picard of the Stargazer co-sponsored the idea."

Honestly, that might be less stupid than the some of the later misuses of the "Monster Maroons".
'Sup Fleet bros?
by this low point in its devolution, the Admiralty said "Enough!"
