Hats???

[superstring01]

If you go here: STXI Movie Pics you can see that the uniforms have hats. Up 'till now I've been very open to the changes, but hats just don't work. For one, it's a very human idea that works because of the shape of the human head. Consider how laughable Nog's baseball hat was in "Take Me Out To The Holosuite"? They should have just left the uniforms as is and not included hats.

Very few cadets are wearing them. Maybe it is for punishment. If they weren't so ugly, I'd say they were a marketing gimmick. "Get your Star Trek movie caps! Only $19.95 + shipping and processing!"

It should be noted that I also take umbrage with the dumb-assed skirts. It's fracking sexist.

So, um, two-hundred and some-odd years into the future, women are little more than T&A for the crew. Huh?

About my annoyance or about the reality?

No jokes. I'm annoyed with the hats. And skirts too.

Well, nothing can be done about it.
Time heals everything.

 

[Sector 7]

I have to agree. The hats are annoying, hence my comment. I think the skirts are an homage to TOS, IMO of course. In the real world, yeah, the skirts would not be right. In the movie world... hey why not?

 

[Qonos]

Actually the Austrailian Navy found out that if their female recruits feel sexier they are Happier and more confident soilders, so it's not sexist, it's psychology...


(The Australian Navy is the only armed force that pays for breast augmentation surgery.)

 

[Harlander]

Well, Pike had a hat, too. It was sitting on top of that huge TV in his quarters...

 

[trekkerguy]

I love the hats. I sure as hell hope they do put em up for sale.

As for the skirts, come on seriously. Trek has always had this style to it.
And you know... there are some women out there who are comfortable
with the bodies and may actualy enjoy the freedom of wearing the skirted
uniforms. I'm sure there would be many who wouldn't and would have a choice.

EDIT: Oh hell yeah, that "Shuttle" is the Aptera! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aptera_Typ-1

Yes he did

Therefore if we see Pike's quarters we need to see his hat and that big ole Magnavox TV (with rabbit ears antenna of course)

Seriesly, I like the hats

Hats are always a good idea.

Also, I believe even in TOS the skirts were at the request of the female actresses who wanted to show off, all though that could be another story passed down through a game of telephone. As long as the skirt uniforms are a tool of empowerment and self-expression, rather than sexual oppression, then I'm in favor of them. For all we know, they'll ret-con skants on the men into the TOS era too. More power to them.

~String

Spoken like someone who's never worn a skirt. They're quite comfortable and not in any way restricting - just ask any giant Scottish guy who went into battle wearing a kilt (okay there's probably not a lot of them still around to ask). For large periods of human history open material around the legs was the main garment that everyone, men and women, wore. The only thing sexist about them is the way they have come to be restricted to women's wear, and assuming that the showing of flesh equals exploitation or sexuality on display for the pleasure of men. It's too bad a bunch of guys in the audience would have some sort of socially-constructed-notions-of-masculinity freak out if some of the male characters were shown wearing them (like that one wonderful shot in Encounter at Farpoint), which is what would actually be futuristic and practical.

I don't like the hats. But I know I'll buy one.

Being of part scottish Decent I would gladly wear a kilt, If I knew the appropriate Tartan for my family.
