Makes a good album cover, too.
Hey, I never noticed that before....

Looks like Chekov is trying to get an early promotion with where he's pointing that phaser. Are we sure this isn't mirror-Chekov?

This shot reminds me of the "Keep On Truckin'" sticker my brother had on his closet door fifty years ago.As Kirk, McCoy and Barrows run towards where Sulu is target shooting, they run along a path that appears to have been freshly mowed.

Twas ubiquitous in the last gasp of the 60s and the early to mid 70s…
Case in point.
Them's be the ones.
Delta Theta III aborigine
Delta Theta III aborigines were an intelligent Saurian species native to the planet Delta Theta III who were, during the late-23rd century, classified as belonging in a late primitive state. They possessed a basic language and social structure, as well as well developed mores and traditions...

Spock’s Brain…Kirk and the boys beam down to glacial Sigma Draconis 6. Kirk immediately tells the landing party to set suit temperatures to 72 degrees.
But wait, there’s more.
All Our Yesterdays…Spock and McCoy are trapped in an arctic environment, but neither of them thinks to set their suit temperatures to boiling hot. Strange.

I head canon that in Spock's Brain they expected the cold temperatures on Sigma Draconis 6 and wore special environmental clothes. In All Our Yesterdays, they expected to be in a comfortable library, so, regular clothes only. YMMV

You don't wear clothes lined with rechargeable heating elements every day. Just when you're going to be cold.
Which actually might be a reasonable assumption; the physics of adding vs. removing heat are a bit different. Hot pads in my shoes or a heat vest under my uniform can do me a world of good in near-freezing temperatures, but a tiny air conditioner at the small of my back is going to have to work really, really hard to counteract 100°-plus temperatures. Not saying it's impossible, but I can see the heat-suit being lighter, more practical, and applicable in more scenarios involving beaming down to class-M or near-class-M planets.
I'm no engineer, but it seems easier to generate and maintain localized heat than to get rid of it and keep getting rid of it as new ambient heat arrives to take its place. You have to send it somewhere. Heat and cold are not opposites, they're just the same thing at different levels. Constantly getting rid of heat is like bailing water from a boat that continues to leak.
True, but then again, the more complicated and expensive the apparatus, the less likely you are to wear it every day.
I thought I recalled NASA making a high-tech cooling suit for a kid with some disabling condition, and I got a hit from Google AI:
"Yes, in 2001, NASA's technology was adapted into cooling suits for children with rare disorders like hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) who couldn't sweat, allowing them to play outside safely by circulating chilled water through tubes in the garment, a concept derived from astronaut cooling systems. An 8-year-old named Cardi Hicks was a notable recipient, experiencing normal outdoor play for the first time thanks to this NASA spin-off technology."

Wow, I never noticed that at all.
That's worth a No-prize.I head canon that in Spock's Brain they expected the cold temperatures on Sigma Draconis 6 and wore special environmental clothes. In All Our Yesterdays, they expected to be in a comfortable library, so, regular clothes only. YMMV
Nice, that is super-cool! (Wordplay truly not intended, but those who love cheapass puns are free to run with it if you like. Just run it away, please.
)Just in case I was unclear, I wasn't saying it was impossible; just some combination of trickier/bulkier/more expensive. Which I guess is why we need NASA for the cooling suit but chemical warmers are $1.25 a pair at the Dollar Tree.

Now that I think more about it, why would Kirk need to tell them what temperature to set their uniforms? Maybe they have limited charge or something so you don't want to set them too high?
So Shatner could have another line?
