    New uniforms were designed for Generations, even fabricated for the cast, but were abandoned at literally the last minute, forcing them to use the series uniforms. However, since it was a movie, they wanted a different look from the TV series, so the DS9 uniforms were brought in. Only Partick Stewart and Brent Spiner had DS9 uniforms tailored for them, however. Jonathan Frakes wore Avery Brooks's costume, and LeVar Burton wore Colm Meaney's. There's weren't any DS9 uniforms to fit Dron, Sirtis, or McFadden which is why they only wear the TNG uniforms in the movie.

    The Uniform on star trek that seemed odd to me was the guys in skirts design of uniform that appeared a couple of times early in TNG

    I was referring to the DS9/VOY uniforms, which looked like crap on the big screen. The TNG series uniforms looked really good. But Berman wanted to get rid of those, because GR had signed off on them.

    Oh God, I found that revolting. Terrible uniform design, there.

    Yeah, the men's skants sucked. They would have looked better with longer sleeves, in both gender variants.

    Perhaps a little better with long sleeves, but they would still look bad nevertheless, on men.

    As a Romulan I fully acknowledge that your Federation does idiotic things. But even they wouldn't demand a ship stranded so far away with no chance of resupply switch to a new uniform pattern.

    Demand? No, but a ship with as little difficulty repairing even the most severe damage wouldn't have any problem replicating new uniforms that might help them feel connected to the rest of the fleet.

    I don't know which is more tragic: the shorts or the shirt collar design... :eek:

    FWIW, the TNG/DS9 Romulan bowl cut/shoulder pads look is the worst in all of Star Trek's history.

    OK, I personally disliked that look as well. The shoulder pads, just look at the shoulder pads...

    ^ Looks like 24th-century Romulans are big fans of the 1980s power-suit look. Actually, that jacket is quite practical. You can keep your cellphone, laptop, pens and makeup kit in those shoulders!

    She would look a lot more attractive without that oversized icicle up her ass.

    ^ As her Romulan characters go, Toreth definitely had more emotional range than Taris did, IMHO.

    Alright, looks like I wasn't the only one who thought of the boxy 1980s suit look... Not that all '80s suits looked boxy, of course.
