Never noticed details in the Kelvinverse films

Indeed. Although of course the flooring is generic off-the-shelf stuff, while the shirt pattern doesn't actually match it in detail.

What one makes of it is another thing. An opening to argue there's no in-universe connection? A non-issue? An opening to argue there is an in-universe connection, with in-universe artistic liberties? All the options are open. And none need be taken. It's simply one of them cool things about that movie.

yeah a quick google search led me to this interview with michael kaplan in which he tells us he based the uniform fabric on the floor of the set. though i really hope in-universe, starfleet ship builders and/or uniform designers aren't that precious.

Only child according to Sulu.

It was a joke (riff on Spock's line from ST:V).

One of the people at Kirk's academy hearing in ST'09 is JT Esteban, who was already captain of the USS Grissom in 2258. Furthermore, he's significantly older than his Prime Universe counterpart will be 30 years later in Search For Spock!

Esteban from ST09 could be the father or grandfather of the one from ST III.

And they both captained the USS Grissom? Starfleet loves it's nepotism

We're still trying to read all the names here: https://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Starfleet_Academy_personnel_(alternate_reality)

It wouldn't be a Grissom without an Esteban at the helm.

Maybe the Grissom visited the asteroid on which Cochrane and the Companion lived, and JT got a dose of fountain-of-youth while there!

That was my thought. Starfleet has a pretty big running family theme, especially in ST 09.
