We all have our opinions.
To me, STC is complete canon and "real trek" now.

Do we know why Pike and co are in the different uniforms?

Yep. Bad Trek is real Trek too, otherwise there would not have been real Trek since 1996.
You typed "1969" wrong.
That isn’t an opinion...
By "STC" doesn't he mean the fanon series Star Trek Continues?
In that case...nope.
(And if it was a typo, apologies for the confusion.)

Yes, I meant the fan series, and Yes it is my opinion.... i'm confused to the confusion?
I thought @Longinus and/or @Tuskin38 might have thought you meant to type "STD" (meaning Discovery) instead of "STC" (meaning Continues). But maybe what I thought was their confusion was actually mine.
Fan films, whether any of us like them or dislike them or whatever, are as far from "complete canon" as one can possibly get. But it's not necessary that we go any further with this. Peace and long life to you!

Some fan films are my own personal head canon, but that's as far as I go. My own fan films that I've been writing are, I'd like to think, pretty good for the most part but at the end of the day the events in those films are at best head canon. They won't be referenced by official productions and may at some point be retconned away by the real deal.
Until then, they exist in my own head for my own pleasure and that's all I need when it comes to what is "real" Trek and what isn't.

No, you got it right.
I altered the uniforms to be a bit more classic.
A big improvement. Great job.

This does look a little better. Good job!
Agreed. Would have a preferred if DSC did this rather than the light redress. That symmetrical collar on the redesigned TOS uniforms along with full color scheme on the female alternate skirt and blouses really goes a long way.

Roddenberry's son considers it canon, but that's not official. Quasi-canon is like Pregnant-ish. Until CBS or Paramount say they consider it canon, which I doubt they ever would, it's not.
As far as I am concerned, it's the 4th season of TOS, but my concerns and a two quarter's wont buy coffee.
"Personal canon" is an oxymoron. It's just the same as typing "I'd like it if things were this way..."
I've worked on fan films. I love 'em. There has not yet been one made that meets the minimal professional standards of a studio Trek production in any sense - least of all writing - though a few like STC have come remarkably close with respect to certain facets of production.
"Head canon" is an oxymoron as well. I have so-called head canon, but by any other name it's imaginary conjecture just for fun. I hardly spend much time worrying about what goes into my head canon anyway; most of it occurs in flashes.
Every now and then for fun with fellow fans on here, I might say something like, "In my head canon, the Valiant had no FTL propulsion and wound up at the edge of the galaxy only because of the magnetic storm she encountered." That doesn't make it remotely canonical. And as it goes, in the eight different replies I get, there will be ten different alternatives proposed.

I have always been mostly ambivalent to fan films. But that episode of continues with DeLancie? That was as good an episode of TOS as was ever made.
I think 'head canon' is a fine term. Most people understand what's meant by it."Head canon" is an oxymoron as well.
