The ugliest Star Trek costume?

the early ds9/ voyager uniform.

they were bland compared to the tng uniform, and had an ugly baggyness to them.

(also i loved the tmp uniform)
 
the uni on DS9 looks like a bunch of geek sguadrant! [chuckle]

And on Voy they look like vomit colors!

Geek boy and vomit shirt, who one looks worse? My god!
 
Surprised no one has mentioned the drab, ultra '70's, one piece pantsuit style disasters from Star Trek: The Motion(less) Picture.

Funny you should mention that. I am one of only three known humans who actually like the TMP uniforms. I especially like The Shat's short-sleeve "off-duty" uniform. Plus, Nimoy never looked Spockier than in his grey unitard, and Nichelle looked very pretty in beige. The TWOK uniforms were fine for formal occasions, but they never looked like the kind of thing the crew should wear day-to-day.
I think Kirk's short sleeve uni isn't terrible and I also think his white-on-gray Admiral's uni in which we first see him isn't bad either. I never have liked the one-piece costumes though, and I wish they had made more use of the colors of TOS - even if the designs themselves changed.
 
TMP uniforms bother me less and less. Most of them are still hideous but the have a charm to them I respect.
 
The worst uniform is hands down Wesley Crusher's acting ensign one, with the rainbow colors on the shoulders. WTF were they thinking?!
 
I thought the rainbow colors one was civilian garb. The acting ensign was the all gray one. I thought that was kind of silly. Even his insignia was all gray. It's like he was from a bizarro universe. It was more incongruous when you consider his think sweater-like shoulder area compared with the lighter Season 1-2 uniforms everyone else was wearing.
 
^^^ I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw that in Wesley's uniform.

Yeah, it's not a rainbow design. They are the three colors of the three divisions aboard ship (red/yellow/blue). And they're also across the shoulders, somewhat similar to the standard uniform style.

Also, the kid wore it all the time. If it was civilian wear, why would he keep wearing the same shirt all the time?

So it's gotta be some kind of uniform.

But he wasn't in Starfleet, so he wouldn't have any uniform.

So what kind of civvie shirt was that? Or was it a strange kind of uniform? Huh?
 
I'm amazed that nobody has mentioned the Capellans from "Friday's Child" yet. Who on Earth thought that day-glo pink and turquoise fur boas were proper attire for a race of fierce warriors?
 
^ Oh come on! You're probably thinking of her second uniform but the one that was gone the fastest, her first uniform with the shoulders and seperate jacket, may not have been the sexiest, but at least it was a uniform. She was practically in lingerie by series' end.

You know what irked me about the Bajoran uniforms...well, aside from their being too Starfleet what with the three colors and shoulder yokes...it's that the gold ones didn't have the same look of the other two probably only because Odo's uniform didn't, and his probably didn't for the same reason that the rest of him looked different - to show he wasn't a perfect mimic.

Well, since the Capellans seemed to fight and slaughter at the slightest drop of a hat. I could see them wearing something that would provoke their enemies into antagonizing them.
"Sir; those warriors must be fearless and have balls of steel, Look at the outfits they're wearing. It's like they are daring us to make fun of them."

I always thought it was something of his, that he wore because it vaguely resembled a Trek uniform. A bit like that kid's Dataesque sweatshirt in "Hero Worship"

Every time I see that episode, I wonder why she's wearing a fish.

I'll mention it. I absolutely hate those uniforms, and from what I've read the cast hated wearing them. My second choice would be Chekov's outfit with the white collar from Search for Spock. All I can say is WTF.

Kind of like Jayne's hat from Firefly.
 
I would have to agree with KingDaniel, that the Romulan uniforms absolutely suck. First, they're really stiff so they don't look comfortable. Second, those overbearing shoulders look dorky, especially how the sleeves don't contour at all. The bowl style haircuts just complete the picture of making them look like Beatles era Beatnik band rejects. Someone should do that... take a 60's band scene and superimpose Romulans playing the instruments. :lol:

Seriously, they should have gone with the TOS style Romulan uniforms as a base and just updated them slightly. I liked the "Bird of Prey" helmets--very cool.
