Again, I never got why people seem to think that the TWOK uniforms are more "military" than the TMP ones. In 1979 I thought the TMP uniforms looked pretty military - i.e. serious. I thought the flat grays and whites of TMP looked a heck of a lot more military that the monster maroons.

The "monster maroons" looked more like full-dress or parade uniforms than general duty wear. I wouldn't have been surprised to see the cast marching to the tune of "76 Trombones."

Maybe that's why I think they look less "military". And that's a pretty great analogy, BTW.

To be fair, with the wide variety of uniforms in TMP, a few looked more like pajamas than others.

Espcially Kirk's uniform.

I think all the 2 piece uniforms vary from good to great. It's the one piece that fall down for me.

(And I've been vocal about my adoration for the short sleeves.)

I pretty much agree. I think there needs to be more short sleeves in Star Trek.

Yeah, that short-sleeve option strikes me as the most real-world military that Trek uniforms ever got.
