TNG looked poor in comparison to TOS. The style language was very 80s, aside from having the blue uniform like in TMP. The reuse of sets between TOS films and TNG didn't help matters either, especially with TUC.Huh? In lookingh at te TNG sets it felt like I was watching ST:TMP since they reused everythin g fromm the TOS Feature films. The timeframe was supposeed to be vague - and it wasn't until some fans got anal and wanted to have te 'date' officially set that ST:TMP added "In the 23rd Century."
As for the costuming comparison, give me a break. Until ENT NOTHING had pockets and that was honestly ridiculous. The propuction value and costuming of the Kurtzman era makes TNG look threadbare.
The 32nd century uniforms feel like the future informed by the cultures of the setting.
