I like those new designs, but I want the canon to be respected, so "the cage" turtlenecks FTW!

I like your idea regarding the grey uniform, however I do think it needs some colour. So how about this version of the uniform...
Well, maybe. As long as they are made out of velour. I mean some respect for canon, please.
(Actually, those would've been better for STMP.)
I would think they will be colourful as memories of the original show invoke all the bright colours that where used, so I would say the original colour scheme will be used in favour of some bland grey x-men style jumpsuit.
Also if x-men esque bland grey jumpsuits are used instead of the primary colours on TOS they can't kill any redshirts - 'cause there will be none!

I'm thinking the Cage/WNMHGB era unis in scenes that are set early and perhaps the red, blue, gold ones near the end. As long as we don't see the ones from TMP, blahhhh.
They should definitely keep the division colors, but I think darker uniforms would look better on the big screen.Noo don't go the generic grey/black/dark blue jumpsuit, I think they need to put some colour in there, yes update everything make it cool, new, futuristic, whatever - but every single thing should evoke a memory of the same thing from the original show - be it a phaser, a chair, a uniform, a computer console - dark jumpsuits don't do that. Take the original prop or design as a base and build upon it, but keep enough of its 'essence' to instantly bring back memories of the old.
Looks a bit too post-TNG-era to me, in fact it looks almost exactly like the uniform in the proposed new animated series. Not a bad notion though.That's fun, I changed it a little bit by using my incredible paint skills.

EDIT: Quoted the wrong person and thus looked silly.
Since we see the older Spock in this film maybe we'll get to see some First Contact uniforms also.
Abrams doesn't have to do anything.
It's silly to think he'll use the sand color over the more iconic red simply because we saw it in a grand total of two episodes. I fully expect him to use the colors we're familiar with, and I'd be quite surprised if he didn't.
The only rule I'd like him to follow is the gold/red/blue rule. I actually would like him to use more modern materials and a more form-fitting, updated design. And something that looks more professional for the women.
I also like the ideas of accessories. I like the TWOK-era uniforms because there were optional vests, velour jackets, field jackets, tunics.

And of course those beehive hairdos.
^^
Miniskirts and beehives have their time in history. The women in this film are going to be kick ass, not standing there, clutching a space-clipboard looking at the viewscreen in fright. Plus remember that JJ likes his strong female characters. There will not be miniskirts.
The change of women from the Trek pilots (The Cage, WNMHGB) and the series was a pretty bad downgrade.

I think I mentioned this sort of in another thread, but the Underarmor catalogue looks like a list of for sale Trek wardrobe.
And in red, gold, and blue please.
