Different uniforms?

Mr. Laser Beam

I haven't actually seen DSC yet, but I have looked at pictures. Got a question about the Starfleet uniform of the era:

Are there actually different uniform colors after all?

I ask this because the pictures I've seen of Georgiou, she's wearing a uniform with a much darker shade of blue than the rest of them wear (such as Adm. Anderson). Is this on purpose, or just a trick of the light?

If the former, what are the different 'blues' supposed to represent? I don't think the lighter blue is an admiral's uniform, because the pic I've seen of Anderson, one of his crew is wearing a uni with the same shade.
 
I didn't notice a different shade of blue. But There could have been.

But on a more serious note:

Yes, there are three different colors: Gold/Green, Beige, and Blue. That's for the tunics. The pants are black.
 
One thing I don't like about the new uniforms is the rank designation inside the Starfleet delta. It makes spotting the wearer's rank very difficult from anywhere that's not a couple of steps away.

Actually I think it was just the lighting that made Anderson's uniform look like a lighter shade of blue.

I'm also trying to determine what's special about the Admiral uniform of the era. Near as I can see, there is more piping, going from shoulder to shoulder. (For the Captain's uniform, there is also extra piping, but only going from the neck to the upper arm.)

I was talking about the DSC uniforms, not the ones from "The Cage".
 
There is a black Starfleet uniform, with gold trim. Pictures of it were floating around a few months ago along with the Torchbearer suit pics.

Medical wear a white version.
 
Apparently we're going to see cool new away team uniforms or coverings tomorrow. Different than the Kevlar vests from the premiere.
 
You specifically asked about "Starfleet uniform of the era."

The Starfleet uniforms of the 2250s through early 2260s ARE "The Cage" uniforms.


Nope, we see the Cage era uniforms are blue.


I don't remember that, at all. :eek:

It was in one image, we only got to see part of the vest. But either it was a super dark blue and some crazy lighting going on or it was black
 
I'm willing to bet we'll see new uniforms or significant modifications season to season regardless of whether or not they retool. Kind of like the movies. Unless they cut funding of course.
Did anyone notice how the Admiral looked a little squeezed into his uniform in the premiere? And that guy is in great shape for his age. They have to stop trying to make everyone look thin and relax the design a bit. At least for the older and plus-sized officers.
