Does anyone like TMP uniforms?

The Monster Maroon's have grown on me. I don't mind the TMP uniform designs the just needed the primary colors and black slacks. I've never been a fan of single color jump suits. I like some variety to the uniforms. A colored shirt and black pants is the best combination for Trek.
Say...maybe that's the answer to where the bathroom is on the Enterprise...use the materializer-equipped sonic shower to kill two birds with one stone....
I thought they were great looking uniforms after the TMP pajamas, but they always seemed bulky and impractical. They would have made good dress uniforms but for shipboard wear they were pretty bad.
The version of them used for the era in between TMP and TNG was absolutely awful- I think seen first when Jack Crusher left that holographic message for Wesley. Without the colored sweaters under the tunics those uniforms just looked like the WORST.

Yeah, I actually thought of that as I was writing that post.
I'd rather have had something like what William Ware Theiss designed for Roddenberry's PLANET EARTH pilot.
Costumes were cool. The pilot sucked. Almost as bad as Genesis II.I'd rather have had something like what William Ware Theiss designed for Roddenberry's PLANET EARTH pilot.
That picture makes me wonder if Lurch was the only character that Ted Cassidy played where he even appeared to use his own hair.
Agreed, though I will say in its favor it was a good idea to ditch the belt. I know, the WOK actors' waistlines and all, but the jacket was a bad length to divide at the waist; the short section of material that stuck out below the belt made it look like an afterthought.
First thing I thought of!
Very interesting thoughts! You've made me look at the TWOK uniforms in a new light.
Now those are pretty sharp! With an adjustment away from the 70s-style colors, those would work pretty well today.I'd rather have had something like what William Ware Theiss designed for Roddenberry's PLANET EARTH pilot.
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid:
Forgot about that one. I'll need to watch it again.

Interestingly reminiscent of Kirk's two-toned admiral's uniform in TMP.
I find it more closely reminiscent of the early TNG uniforms, probably because they were designed by the same guy.
Or this prototype uniform that TNG didn't go with (that's costume designer William Ware Theiss standing next to the two models):
Look like something out of Forbidden Planet.
The men's version leaves little to the imagination...I'd rather have had something like what William Ware Theiss designed for Roddenberry's PLANET EARTH pilot.
In the future, people will no longer be burdened with our quaint notions of modesty.

If Jack LaLanne had been the costume designer.
