Is that anything like the Memory Wall™ ?
Spock counted it as such. He tells McCoy, when the security detail gets to the bridge, that he's to be arrested:
"The charge, is mutiny, Doctor. I was never ordered to assume command."
JG is too busy running for congress these days...........
In the name of Q, please no. They were more unconvincing than TOS. Many military officers wear single colour shirts. Nobody wears logo streamed shirts.
Unless they're sponsored by Nike.
Ahh yes, the old "my favourite military on earth does it therefore a multi-cultural interstellar organisation would"
The Discovery officers do.
I personally hate this "military" philosophy as much as you do, but since so many people take it a fact I just went along with it. But I still hate the Kelvin uniforms. Also, being a pacifist I don't have a favourite military. It's just a good example of an organisation type that has a lot of uniforms.
It is a good example but shouldn't be the only one used for star trek. I think nasa and other space agencies should be looked at, along with hiking/adventure/survival gear for away mission versions.
They're also without logo streaming (except Nike stuff). I don't mind so much with only the metallic colouring, but having it over the whole shirt was something I particularly dislike about the kelvin uniforms. I also read an interesting article about how the gold/silver/bronze is actually a throwback to the yellow/blue/beige of the cage, and the blue main colour fits in with the all blue jumpsuits of the cage. And the utility belt of the trailer is the same as in the cage. That is quite interesting to think about (and likely intentional). Also, considering the budget of the '60s, I can imagine that this is what Pike & co were wearing.
Agree about the delta patterns. Not my preference on these, bur far worse on Kelvin stuff. Beyond was a marked improvement
Standardized uniforms make sense. Simply-made standardized uniforms make sense.
Overly complex uniforms for military or peacekeeping/exploration forces make sense solely in historical fiction, fantasy, and anime.
I personally don't view Starfleet as a military, but if it helps the argument: Croatian Army camouflage uniform pattern consist of many little outlines of Croatia
Here is the outline of the country for those who don't know
So I guess Starfleet would not be the first with peculiar design ideas

That is cute, though it'd probably only work for countries with very curvy and oddly-shaped borders.
Here's the pattern the US Army is phasing out right now. The whole thing is made of little Wyomings and Colorados!
My point exactly, and concisely put.
Mind you...
I think these qualify as "overly complex". And they ain't fictional. They also look a bit TOS-movie-ish.
I would say the uniforms used on the International Space Station are relatively complex, with all of the zippers, and Logos.
