Kelvin Blue Uniforms

I would hate to see a fat guy in one of those uniforms.

Aside from James Doohan, who grew into his robust figure, how many grossly overweight people did we actually see on Trek?

Well, it's our future after all. Medical technology make a genetic predisposition to be fat unlikely and the abundance of psychic help should make the mental craving to eat go away as well. The (assumed) lack of fastfood joints should help too. :D
 
I saw at least one uniform that was not blue!!!

I'm not 100 % sure, but I think that is Randy Pausch in the green uniform there.

Yeah, it's him. I noticed him during my second viewing.
There were a few gold uniforms on the Kelvin. I hadn't noticed the green ones when I saw the movie. All I saw were the gold and blue, and ws going to comment that that actually was a good link to The Cage and Where No Man Has Gone Before, blue and gold being the only uniform colours in those episodes.

That "beige" could be represented by the mustard green here. I like the uniforms. They look a bit...informal, though. I don't know how to explain it...but I get the feeling that if a crew was to make first contact with a species, this wouldn't be the uniform they're wearing. Almost like this is the "duty uniform", and there's something a next level up, for more formal duties (no, I'm not talking about a dress uniform. Think DS9 uniforms vs TNG ones)

I say them clip the communicator to their belt (looks a lot like the TOS communicator too...), but I'd imagine that they'd need a utility belt a la nuEnt 20 years later to carry a phaser and tri corder ( haven't seen the tricorder, but in a photo of some props on display, a phaser was displayed next to the Communicator seen on the Kelvin that looked a lot like the TOS phaser.)

Woooah, niiice photo.


The phaser and communicator are precisely how i expected a re-design of TOS tech to be in the movie. I like the fact that they have used it for the Kelvin era to really show how new the Enterprise looks in comparisson.

The phaser and communicator are a faithful re-design from the Wah chang originals, the phaser even has similar contours.


Coool.
 
Maybe originally blue was the command division color (in honor of Archer's jumpsuits in honor of NASA's) then it became gold in Kirk's time, red in Picard's, and blue again as on the timeship Relativity.

too much honor! :p
 
I liked the Kelvin uniforms, which came in at least four colors. They reminded me a little of Forbidden Planet. Didn't see any Enterprise influence, at all.

The different shades of blue and the fact the ENT is the only surviving cannon didn't show influence? :wtf:
 
I also like the subtle tribute they did to the TOS pilot uniforms. Kirk's Kobayashi Maru uniform looked to have a similar style collar.
 
I watched ST again the other day, the Kelvin has blue, a yellowish, and red colour uniforms. Of course the white uniforms for the doctors, which I think is a little nod to TMP.

Uniforms aboard the Kelvin came in steel blue, russett brown/red, olive green and white. That one of those colors was blue hardly shows any influence specific to Star Trek Enterprise.

Nor, for that matter, does the fact that Enterprise is presumed to be unaffected by the movie simply by virtue of its position at the beginning of the chronology show influence - just happenstance.
 
To me, they looked like a cross between the pilot episode uniforms and the thermal gear that the crew wore on ENT in the episode "These are the voyages..."
