Should the Discovery crew still wear Starfleet uniforms next year?

[Jayson1]

Wearing uniforms could be against the law if Earth is around. We don't know what rules the Federation or any earth would have in that time. Even today your not allowed to wear real cop outfits in public. If you wear a fake outfit it has to be modified in order to not trick people thinking you are a real cop. Well the "Discovery" crew would stop legally being Starfleet officers the moment they get to a point in time where Starfleet no longer exists. I suppose it could be legal in the way I think it's okay maybe to wear civil war outfits if you want.

They could also decide to go civil if the future Federation is evil (or simply at odds with the people of the setting) and all sorts of aliens keep attacking Discovery, mistaking them for the V'Draysh because of all the arrowheads they put everywhere.

Even if Starfleet exists, they won't have heard of the Discovery and it's crew. This would create an interesting situation when they claim to be a Starfleet ship from the 23rd century but they aren't in any historical records.

I have my doubts that you can just make hundreds of people and a ship fully disapear and pretend they never happened. I can see all information sort of existing forever in some very,very old missing cold case file that has been made top secret and thus no investigation was never down. People who knew these people ,who built the ship and aliens who encountered them would all talk at some point. I mean is TIlly's mom for example going to say nothing for the rest of her life when people ask her about her daughter?

could be worse. full length pants and loose-fitting turtlenecks. they haven't gone far enough into the future for that though.

They can wear anything they like as long as it doesn't feature a half-collar.

 

[Alan Roi]

They should hire the people who dressed the Blakes Seven crew, which was, by a staggering coincidence, the disco era.

Come on! If you wade through all five pages and give a detailed review of ever post made within those five pages I promise to like every thread you make for the rest of the year. Imagine the cache of seeing your like totals expand rapidly in away it rarely does for most people.

How about I don't, but I say I did?

No. They should dress like intergalactic pirates.

I can see everyone putting on eyepatches now. Then Detmer asks if instead of wearing an eyepatch, she just removes her cybernetic eye, basically the same thing.

Acting Captain Tilly: "No, Keyla. We've been through this: eyepatches for everyone. It's an order."

"Besides, you keep setting your eye where it can still watch all of us, it's creepy."

She learned that from G'Kar. She's a big B5 fan.

Do you think that getting casual Fridays would be a sufficient cause for a mutiny?

Wars have been fought for less, right?

Saru: "Commander, why are you wearing a printed T-shirt on the bridge?"
Burnham (embarrassed): "Tilly gave it to me as a gift, Sir. When I started to dress in my uniform this morning, she started pouting, looked at me with puppy eyes and said I didn't like it. I... I had to, Sir."
Saru: "Does nobody have any respect for protocol on this ship anymore?
*cue Detmer entering the bridge wearing a 18th century Prussian cavalry uniform, complete with gold thread and a bicorn hat, and Saru takes a double take*
Detmer: "What? It's technically a uniform."
*right as Saru lets out a weary sigh, Owo enters wearing a deep blue Soviet marshal's uniform with a chest full of medals and a cape, exactly like Jason Isaacs did in The Death of Stalin. She takes a short look at Detmer, and then immediately looks at Saru.*
Owo: "Did I win, Sir?"
Saru: *facepalms*

uuuuhm... I might have gone overboard a bit.

Needed to look that up!

And look, he's doing Picard maneuver! Star Trek transcends all!

 

[Jayson1]

Maybe it's time to pull the catsuits out of retirement. Everyone wears them though this time. Also they glow which helps people see as they walk through the dark corridors since nobody ever turns the lights on fully on the ship.

It works best with that bombastic music and all his medals clinking together as he straightens his uniform...

It is over nine hundred years in the future. It is not an uniform, it is a historic costume. I doubt you'd get into trouble with British authorities if you wore the livery of the Norman army from the Battle of Hastings.

As Rimmer will tell you, it has to be nearer 3 million years to avoid the copyright reach of what Disney grows into by the 25th century.
