The ugliest Star Trek costume?

[Mr. Laser Beam]

The Romulan TOS uniforms were pretty cool, though. I'd like to see what an Abramsverse film could do with that.

 

[MrBorg]

The Romulan Uniforms. Both the TNG-era ones and the TOS-era ones. The TOS ones aren't as bad as the TNG ones, but the thing that ruins them is the helmet. Ugh.

The TNG-era ones just look terrible. It looks like their wearing some sort of box.

 

[FormerLurker]

The first TNG era Romulan uniforms we saw at the end of season one were an homage to the TOS uniforms, with the stripe down the right side. But the shoulder pads were too eighties over the top.

Surprised no one has mentioned the drab, ultra '70's, one piece pantsuit style disasters from Star Trek: The Motion(less) Picture.

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.

Oh yes, I had forgotten about that. Agreed - it looks like some sort of prep-school uniform gone wrong!

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.

Count me in as one of those 3. I always liked them too especially Kirk's variant.

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."

Kind of like Jayne's hat from Firefly.

Ah, it all makes sense now.

So what about those dopey helmets the soldiers wear in "A Taste of Armageddon." It looks like they've stepped out of "March of the Wooden Soldiers" or something.

Q's green outfit from Deja Q. His junk was like hanging out there. Good thing it wasn't produced in 3-d!

 

[sbk1234]

I'll have to go with the Capellans' costumes, followed by the sheets they wore in For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky.

 

[Captain Rob]

I swear those Fabrini dudes are wearing 1960's tablecloths.

 

[Mike Ram]

These guys wore placemats.

 

[Gary7]

What's even worse with the Fabrini are those Confederate Civil War styled caps.

But yeah, I'd have to give it up to the Capellans. Their getups remind me of something I'd rather not think about.

 

[Greg Cox]

^ Perfect!

There's also kind of a Sid & Marty Kroft vibe to those costumes . . . .

[propita]

The Gorgon's shower curtain?

Melvin Belligerent was frakkin' HUGE! It was the only thing that fit.

John Doe's "you can see my circumcision scar" unitard?

The best part of the costume. IMO.

I'll go out on a limb and say....

Patrick Stewart's speedo from Captain's Holiday.

Why else do you think Stewart was called "tripod"?

 

[sbk1234]

I think I'll have nightmares from this thread.

^^ Ummmm... what's ugly about that? ;-)

It was a jumper originally. It has that black mountain around the belly (is that supposed to be the lower-half of the Star Trek logo?). Even as a kid I wondered what was wrong with this costume.

 

[Therin of Andor]

Yep.

These guys wore placemats.

Yep. And the same orange placemats were used to create the head of a Tholian.

If I recall correctly, one of Elaan's costumes had pink pieces of placemat on it.

(is that supposed to be the lower-half of the Star Trek logo?).

Yep.

THEY ARE ALREADY WEARING THE LOGO! Why not just airbrush the thing on the uniform? Jeez. That's ugly!
