Um...no...no, I didn't.
You know, looking at these photos, the cut of the shirt he's wearing reminds me a lot of the TOS dress uniforms (only not with the shiny fabric). I kind of like those.
No one has commented on his dyed red hair.
Indeed. If the costume above is supposed to be some pre-WNMHGB uniform, then that would be perfect. But, speculating that it's not, then I'm not too hot on it being the new TOS look. If that is, indeed, the case. Which it might not be. But this is a forum for wild speculation, complaining and all manner of other things that are not always pro-'Whatever The Producers Do'. It would be very boring around here if everyone agreed that a blurry photo with absolutely no context attached is nothing worth talking about and that we should all just shut up and let the film makers do their thing, wouldn't it?
And, to be fair, the costume designer has plenty of other material from Trek to muck about with (or retcon/reimagine/reboot): Romulan costumes, new 24th century Starfleet uniforms, civilian stuff, Vulcan robes etc.

P.S. I'm just having a little fun...In the proper context, this could actually be a pretty nice bit of wardrobe. For instance, Christmas Cloud's drawing above is a similar color and quite nice indeed.
Exactly.
Looks like a young version of Shatner dressed as a bell-hop in an old Priceline Commercial.
Let's not forget Trekmovie.com's source says Quinto was in the same type of uniform. Brick red shirt and pants.
The uniform goes with the first spy pics that revealed a number of folks wearing darker blue shirts and pants, or olive shirts and pants (and even white shirts and pants).
So, Kirk and Spock in red. The original meaning of the three colors has been changed in some way. Which is OK, I suppose, because they meant nothing in any other TOS movie.
Of course, we still don't know if these are starship uniforms, academy wear, dress unis, or what.
The suspense is terrible. I hope it will last.
I'm willing to hope they've gone with more subdued division colours gain, á la TWOK era costumes, I was never a big fan of the uniform being primarily and eye catchingly a division related thing. But on the other hand, keep some of hte TOS era primary colours, instead of going for the 'everyone in the future wears black' routine. In short, I quite liek the design. I think it will turn out to be a dress uniform of sorts, given the context, and I like. Also, i think I'm with jon1701 with that being a little arrowhead on his jacket collar.
Whatever it is, it's certainly a change.
A bit off-thread, but given the changes that will obviously be made (more to come I'm sure), if Nimoy and Quinto meet in young Spock's time, I'd give anything to see Nimoy look around, raise his eyebrow, and utter as his first line, "Fascinating. Nothing is as I remember it."

No.
^^ I kinda doubt it, or they'd just have him in a hooded sweatshirt like everybody else. I agree with those who say this is probably an alternative officer/academy uniform of some sort, and that Kirk will likely be seen in multiple uniforms throughout the film. Given JJ's love of Lost-style flashbacks/flashforwards, I really hope this movie covers 3 or 4 years and really fills in much of Kirk's formative years.
Either way, I'm hugely excited to finally get a glimpse of young James Kirk! He looks awesome. This day reminds me of the first day I saw a leaked picture of Ewan McGregor as young Kenobi. Long-awaited and well worth the wait. Great stuff! Can't wait to see an 'official' photo or two of the cast.

And then have Guinan pop out and say "This isn't right....something's changed!"
If so, Abrams is even more nefarious than we thought! Cover future uniform up with a fake-future-uniform-meant-to-throw-the-audience-off uniform! He's going to have entirely too much fun screwing around with us this next year or so.
In all seriousness, as to the uniform, I say it has something to do with the academy. If Quinto was wearing the same thing (same color and everything), that pretty much ends the chance it's a duty uniform of any kind, right? Kirk and Spock obviously wouldn't be wearing the same color, even taking into account the fact that Kirk was (I believe) in the security/engineering division during his time on the Farragut. So, I say it has something to do with the academy. A dress uniform perhaps.
One thing we know for certain is that James Kirk never wore any other outfit besides his gold top and black pants. Never. Not on his days off. Not at his graduation. Not while he was playing sports. Not on a date. Not at a formal ceremony. Not during a training exercise. Not during a flight simulation. Never.
So this photo is absolute proof that this is a reboot and all canon is out the window.

Ewan mcGregor as Obi Wan; like 1998 or so? I remember that!
This outfit looks very retro? Does everyone agree? It looks very 1964 or so; right?
Not to put too find a point on it, but that's not so much red as brick red -- almost orange.
It could be a color grads wear before they've been formally assigned to a division (red, and the green or blue we've already seen). When we get our first glimpses of Scotty, we'll know for sure.
If it is the new red, then:
-- If it means engineering, I could see Kirk in it because there's nothing to say he didn't start out there. He seemed as knowledgeable of a starship as Scotty. His leadership qualities may have come out in service, and he was switched over.
-- If he was command from the get-go, at this point in his career, maybe he was doing a stint in engineering as part of continued enrichment training for command-track officers.
-- Of course, if it IS the command color now, then that doesn't explain why Quinto was wearing that color. That's another set of rationalizations entirely.
The head explodes with possibilities from this one picture.

Sure this aint a remake of Land of the Giants?
Yep, the first leaked picture was from a playing card of some kind, and showed him in full Jedi robes, talking into a comm. That was "a day long-remembered," much like today!
In the episode "Obsession" Kirk is shown to feel personal responsibility for the death of his commander years before - Kirk was young lieutenant on a landing party with Captain Garrovick of the Farragut (I believe), and Kirk feels he didn't fire quickly enough at a creature who attacked them.
This suggests that Kirk may have been a security officer - or, as trekkie slang has it, a "redshirt."

I'm surprisingly psyched about the possibility of seeing Kirk not just before he commanded the Enterprise, but before he was even a gold-shirted command-track guy. Kirk as a redshirt just *works* for some reason.
(But seeing Kirk in a blue shirt would be just *wrong* in exactly the same way....)
