Cool Trekkish sweaters

One of the eras of TOS I like, uniform-wise, is the first two pilots. It's hard to get good stuff for them, though.

Macy's has got these on clearance, and I bought several. They're a little darker than they look in these pictures, though they're bright in the sun, but they'd be excellent for some budget Trek cosplay. Just stick some patches and rank rings on.

Anyway, thought you'd dig. https://www.macys.com/shop/product/inc-mens-dominic-velvet-turtleneck-sweater-created-for-macys?ID=11356004

 

What? No red?

 

Yeah, I was disappointed too. Still...

(also, Pike era didn't have red, right? They had the beige instead?)

 

Being color blind, the difference between the gold and the salmon is almost indistinguishable.

 

It's not particularly distinguishable for anyone! Not sure what they were thinking. The red they settled on is beautiful so I'm glad they made the change.

 

In the 70's I didn't even notice the difference.

 

Awkward.... I didn’t know there was a difference right up to....this post

 

I didn't really notice the difference until the advent of DVD.

I never noticed the difference either back in the day, nor do I recall any mention of it in any behinds the scenes material.

Bazed on what happened with the green/gold command color, I wonder if the two colors were looked different in person, but the lighting and film stock evened them out.

 

I remember having a couple of sweatshirts in the 70s at school! One was golden and the other type was brown! They both had a coloured ring around the collar as well! They reminded me of the Star Trek uniforms and that's why I pestered my parents to get them for me to wear! but as I recall they didn't wash well and shrank! (Sounds familar I think?)

So classy! And comfy! So, which shirt is "salmon"? I thought "salmon" meant pink? I see five identical gold shirts and five identical blue shirts.

 

That's excellent!

 

I want one
But they don't send to Australia
