The clip itself is humorous enough, people shouldn't be freaking out anymore that it's going to be a depressing and somber show. No doubt it'll cover a wide spectrum of emotions and themes.
First Picard Show pic!

It's all a fevered dream where Picard's delusions are creating a mishmash of things. The uniforms are clearly a bad (IMO) mix of TNG, VOY and others... The fact the kid in the ill-fitting uniform doesn't immediately recognize the legendary Jean-Luc Picard...
Clearly Picard will wake up from the dream at some point and see Dr. Culber's smiling face welcoming him to the 32nd century, having been revived from the status pod he'd been put into to save him from certain death by an as yet incurable 25th century disease.
Or I could be entirely mistaken.

I set out the convention for this last year:
Star Trek: Picard therefore abbreviates to PIC.
(Aside: It truly baffles me that Discovery is called STD by anyone who isn't deliberately trying to discredit it.)
With regards to the uniforms, I am a little disappointed that they have not gone for the All Good Things/The Visitor/Endgame versions which had been well established. Though the design of these is not bad, I share the concern that in close-up shots they do not appear well constructed.
As we need an in-universe explanation for the discrepancy, I say it's down to Janeway:
Voyager kept the 2369 uniforms even long after making contact with the Alpha Quadrant and seeing that Starfleet had switched to the grey quilted versions. I speculate that the Voyager crew in general, and Janeway in particular, disliked the new design and so resisted changing for as long as possible, but obviously were compelled to update once they got home.
When Admiral Janeway went back in time to tell her past self about Chakotay dying and Tuvok going insane, she also warned of an even more objectionable uniform design in the pipeline. When Captain Janeway returned home and got kicked upstairs, she worked to maneuver herself onto the dress code committee and persuaded the fleet to switch back to a uniform style more like the one she had worn in her heyday, but lost the battle on the combadges.
It has happened! I watched it happen! I saw it happen! Don't tell me it didn't happen!
Well established in timelines that often are ultimately erased.
Could I get some more Nero please.
I just go with the official CBS abbreviations, except for VGR.
The future uniforms are probably the worst uniforms ever designed for Trek. I have a theory that the timelines featuring them get wiped out purely because the uniforms are too ugly to exist.
Is there any chance Picard will get an opportunity to command the Enterprise, whatever form it may be... 1701-F, one last time? Data, in command, giving Picard the keys ala Spock did for Kirk in TWOK, for me it would be a highlight for the series.
Data is dead
I think Picard would be OK with not commanding a starship anymore, that he could transition into another role and be happy with it. He isn’t Jim Kirk.
Hello, Nero.Hi fireproof78, I'm Nero.
Timeline doesn't match upThey were. Then Discovery said “hold my beer”.
I’d bet on...exceedingly unlikely.
The uniforms are inspired by Countdown, where Data was alive...
I just realised, those split delta symbols in 2399 aren't keeping continuity with Discovery, they're keeping continuity with Star Trek: Renegades in 2388
They did it first in 2015!
They did it first in 2015!
They did their job then - they were *designed* to be ugly and dumpy - the high waist in particular was intended to remind you of old people's clothes.
