Spoilers Visual continuity - Does Discovery strictly need to show past designs... at all?

No, they were not. The Cage uniform are not the same as the TOS ones, go back and look. And we have new cage era uniforms now, while I think we may see those colors later, they will be new uniforms and not TOS style.
I know that but they still use the same tri color pallet. That being said, If they did something this, I wouldn't complain.

I do as well to a certain degree. Discovery has gotten a lot right that is consistent with a Pre-TOS era. The props are faithful, When Lorca shows Burnham the spore drive and takes her to some TOS era locations. I thought those were faithful and really good. It's gotten a lot right.

I do hope we see the classic Gold, Blue and Red uniforms eventually. If they were like the ST09 and STID uniforms I'd be pretty happy with that.
I'd rather see something like the Beyond uniforms. The '09s are too baggy.

Umm, No the Cage did not use the same pallet. They did use three colors as does DSC. I really hope they do not go such wild and full on color, I was never a fan.

Sadly, Discovery's uniforms are one of the things that bug me. I don't like that the jacket and pants are the same color. It's like the TMP uniforms. I like the cut and tailoring but the colors I don't like. I prefer the colored top with black pants look.

Can not say I agree. I would not mind some color, but I never want to see that kinda solid color saturation again.

Well my Discovery uniform edit was just an example. If the colors were muted and less saturated I'd be fine with that too. I'd just like more color besides dark blue with gold, silver and bronz detailing on the sides and shoulders. My OCD is a stick in the mud like that. :D

I don't want the main uniform to be the color personally. I liked how DS9, ENT and TwoK uniforms handled it. I would loved to see some blue or black uniforms with patches of color.
 
This I'd be okay with too. The early DS9/Voyager uniforms are my favorite 24th century era uniforms.

Not sure what it is, but too much of those colors just looks goofy, but oddly I loved the Monster Maroons.I really enjoyed many of the secondary uniforms from the Reboots, some of those were killer.
 
Only Women, he makes sure every time a women in there to explain what uniform she ware and how many times she needs to adjust it.
Well, I'll try it.

For some reason, the blue always seemed off to me.

I agree that a lot of the Kelvin universe secondary uniforms are great additions that Starfleet really needed.

I think TOS had the best use of the colors, They weren't as saturated as what came later. TNG was okay with colors but I wasn't a fan of the uniforms themselves. I like the monster maroons but they aren't my favorites. My favorite uniforms are the Reboot and Beyond uniforms. Though some of the colors on them were off. I think I may give them a bit of an edit just for fun. I'll post the results shortly.

Sweet! Such a sucker for uniforms.
 
Well the explanation made sense, we had seen it before in the 24th century.


No, it made little sense. Wow, they they issues old uniforms the from the 1960s and mini skirts for the women folk. And made everything look less advanced! This was needless fan wank and little else.

It need not be that blue, which I agree is off. But a nice Navy, grey or black would be nice. I do agree, Trek needs more than a single uniform. we always see what amounts to Class A's wore all the time. Recall in TNG folks digging in the ground and such all wearing that same damned uniform?

I am gonna disagree on color saturation of TOS, because Good Gods. I am not sure many folks liked the TNG uniforms, they were ok, more muted than TOS, but not really a good design. While I do not like the silly TOS style uniforms from the Reboots, I love the secondary stuff.
 
And made everything look less advanced!

I read the book, there is hardy any descriptions of the Enterprise herself.
The only point I can think of that happening is

When the Enterprise's weapons are described as more powerful, which makes sense, the Shenzhou is an old ship

Oh, so the Enterprise does not look 1960, just the outdated uniforms, no one else in starfleet uses?
