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

It should really be 'head continuity'. Head canon is contradictory to what the word 'canon' means.

Or, could be reserved for more continuity breaking stuff.
Personally I think Vic belongs in the head canon now, but purists say it’s just Shatner and Pine, and the stuntman from The Enemy Within.
What about foot canon.

I altered the uniforms to be a bit more classic.
But then they literally are the JJ Trek unis with a zip down the front
 
Brilliant work! These look absolutely great. Only criticism I have is that blue and gold could maybe be a tad lighter.
thanks! and you're right, they need to be lighter, like the ones they're actually using in the show. i was playing it safe.

who was it on here that pointed out the fact that the discovery jumpsuits fade into the sets, whereas the enterprise uniforms pop on screen? because they were so damn right and it's all i can see when i watch the show now.
 
That we want to do something different? I didn't think it was that hard

They were in the wrong time period to do something different. But, regardless of time period, I find those uniforms just plain awful. I'd have rather they pulled the 25th century uniforms from "All Good Things..."/"The Visitor"/"Endgame" off the rack.

Mileage and all that. I have no problem with the DSC uniforms as it moves from ENT to Kelvin to DSC, and some variants introduced throughout. Starfleet has had its host of uniform changes over the years and they rarely have made consistent sense.
 
Would have enjoyed a modified version of this to replace the OG DSC uniforms. Maybe add the metallic elements in lieu of the colored elements. Would have looked sleeker especially if combined with all black bottoms and boots of the DSC costume.

To the credit of the costume designers the insignia on the Enterprise uniforms match the general shape of and angles on the deltas sewn onto the tunics in "The Cage(TOS)." I noticed that almost immediately after the first images of Pike and his officers were released.

The Discovery and other Starfleet delta insignias are a slightly different shape of arrowhead from the Enterprise's. I'll give the producers credit for getting that little detail right.
