I know, but the only black uniforms we saw were in the photoshop thread. :p

More's the pity. I thought those uniforms looked really cool!

Like I said, I would like to think that a black uniform would be what the TOS equivalent of marines would wear.
 
I would have started in red, as I'm an engineer, but I hope to finish my career in gold. ;)
 
I'm the Captain of my overlarge group of friends so it makes sense that I'd be Captain of a ship. That puts me in gold.

My wife is my XO so she'd likely be in gold, too.
 
Kirk's green leisure wraparound looks awesome if you're buff and fit. Less so if you have love handles.
 
Looks like the USS TrekBBS is a Science vessel. I'll call Captain Esteban and see if he's up for command. ;)
 
Here's a question: did female Captains in the TOS-era wear Gold/green miniskirts, or did they wear pants?
If we assume that there was considered to be nothing inappropriate, devaluing, or embarrassing about the female uniforms in the first place (as is to be assumed Starfleet felt, or the uniforms wouldn't be used), there's really no reason why a female captain would stop wearing them when she was in charge.

My assumption would be that all women were allowed to wear pants, though.
 
Late to the party but for me it would be gold, I would love to get my hands on the helm. I love to fly and that would be neat! Plus I get to look through that cool pop up visor thingie to scan and aim the ship's weapons!

The helm always looked awesome, too. I wish one of the later TOS revisits on DS9 or ENT would have shown what the inside of Sulu's pop-up scanner looked like. Something really advanced looking.
 
"Commanding a starship is my first, best destiny." I am also a Univ of North Texas Mean Green Eagle, so give me the command green alternate.
 
While red is my favorite color, I voted green, as I'm partial to Kirk's first-season wraparound, and I'd rather be on the command track. I wonder if, like Picard, only the captain wears that variant, or if other officers who aren't the captain can wear it? And does it come in different colors? I remember Charlie Evans wearing a golden wraparound over a white mock turtleneck pullover. Maybe Spock wears a blue wraparound over a black pullover from time to time. I think Spock is too dignified to let his chest show. -- RR
 
I was wondering the same thing about whether other crew - senior officers at least- could wear the 'captain's variant' costumes - from Kirk's wraparound to the 'bomber jacket' in the movies to Picard's jacket and grey shirt and his FC vest. Admiral Morrow wore a bomber jacket in TSFS. Scotty technically wore a black vest version of the bomber jacket - but that was of course when he was Captain of Engineering. Sisko also wore the FC style vest (post promotion to Captain of course.)
 
I've been told I look good in red, evidently it suits the complexion I've inherited form my northern british ancestors. On the other hand, I'm a dental technician in RL, which is sorta medical, which would place me in a blue shirt. But, if I were really a crewman on the Enterprise, I'd want to drive! So I picked gold and hoped for a helm position. Navigator would be cool too.
