Ships that spend more time "living" in space rather than RTBing every week will have a more casual, rec-friendly atmosphere.
We already have to believe that Picard and Janeway believed in different dress codes for starship personnel. It wouldn't be difficult to further decide some third skipper could have been even more relaxed or uptight about it. We just missed out on many uniform variants in TOS and TNG because of budg.. because of random factors and statistics.

Well, the DS9 crew still kept their original uniforms for a full Season after we saw the mew 'Movie" uniforms of ST:FC. And the ST:Voy crew kept their original uniforms EVEN WHEN they had made and started maintaining regular contact with Earth - and the scenes of Star Fleet members on Earth WERE wearing the new 'Movie Uniforms' from ST:FC - so there IS precident for something like this.
Um yeah:

Why did the division colors change from primary colors to metals and back again?
My thinking is that someone, somewhere along the line, didn't realize that "The Cage" is almost contemporary in the timeline to DSC. There may have been thinking that it was ENT, DSC, then "The Cage" into TOS.
Ah, so they're supposed now.
Article seems like needless bandaid fixes. I think everybody understands that you can come up with a rationalization for EVERYTHING. But do we really NEED these fixes.
Trek has a great many of these continuity bandaids do we really need to be piling more one? Just make them look reasonable consistent from the beginning and we wouldn't need to fix anything.
Ugh. Eyeroll please.
They way the article states it makes it sound like revenge writing."Pike made all that statement about women, Now look, hyuk hyuk, he's getting bossed around by one."
BULLSHIT. Just let it be. Pike doesn't need some sort of comeuppance.
And lastly about the article, they're NOT TUTRLENECKS!
This is a turtleneck:

It took the US military years to roll out its new camo uniforms in the early 2000s.
In that article, something else in the book is not correct with talking about the uniforms, in fact from the same paragraph in the article linked in the OP: it says that Gant from Shenzhou notices the differences while on a landing party assignment with members of the Enterprise crew (noting the colored uniforms vs. the Shenzhou ones).
In "The Cage" timeframe, they would have been wearing the bluish-grey jackets from the Enterprise, wouldn't they?

If the jacket is open or a bit of collar is peeking out, he'd see it.
I'm certain there's a logical, well-reasoned explanation. And once someone concocts one, we'll both know.
Why not? The primary colors also changed all the time, not just getting reshuffled but also getting changed altogether - the yellowish of TOS is not the yellowish of the TOS movies or TNG. And none of them would pass for a "primary" yellow in expert circles.
The DSC colors are as close a match to the "The Cage" as one really can get with all-new materials. Somebody put some thought to that one!
