Yeah, since the VOY crew wore the early DS9 uniforms throughout due to being stranded in the Delta Quadrant, I was rather glad when the DS9 crew changed to the FC uniforms.

[@EthosAtheos]

Sr. Patrick Stewart talked about the uniforms in a recent interview for Picard. He talked about the singlet uniforms being so tight that they hurt the actors backs. This was a major concern for the studio. Presumably because they were worried about guild law suits. They changed the uniforms to the 2 part ones to address this.

[@connorgonzalez4023]

I think one reason why they went with the DS9 uniforms was to keep up with continuity. Voyager premiered during season 3 of DS9 and also had the same uniforms, so it wouldn't make sense for the Enterprise crew to suddenly have a different uniform from the rest of Starfleet. Also, from a production standpoint, having a few DS9 uniforms probably saved on costume budget, but from an in-universe perspective it showed that Starfleet was still in the process of making the switch-over when the Nexus event occurred, and senior officers clearly had priority when it came to getting the new design, which I think is pretty realistic.

[@Lanosrep]

These look much better on paper than when materialised. Which is kind of fitting that they are being adapted into the New Lower Decks animated show

[@peterthx]

The FIRST CONTACT uniforms (which moved to DS9) are easily my favorite Berman-era uniform. So I'm glad these uniforms didn't work out.

[@angryretailbanker5103]

Those and the TNG uniforms used later in the show were the franchise's best uniforms. Special mention to the TOS movie uniforms (with the exception of the first film) for being the closest the franchise has ever gotten to what a real life navy uniform might look like.

Different explanations and reasons were given to (and have been repeated by) different sources.
But the offensive smell is something they almost all agree on.
Remember that this is the show which had cat poop on the bridge set carpets - that nobody dealt with for a couple _years_ - so I'm sure those clammy clingy polyester uniforms were carefully cleaned/disinfected after every use and I'm sure they were always carefully stored in separate sealed containers.

- Stellar cartography

- Upgraded computer sounds
- New combadge
- Different uniforms
- Loads of extras
- Data's emotion chip
- Even the ship looked more detailed in flybys
It made no sense. No revamp would be that drastic within such a short space of time. Also, those black Starfleet uniforms were meant for deep space assignments (I thought), hence the DS9 crew had been using them years before they were introduced to the Federation flagship. The DS9 crew also reverted back to the TNG uniform whenever they visited Earth and in the episode Visitor, Captain Nog was wearing a TNG uniform, something like 20 years into the future.

7:51 those are darts in the armpits, and one of the first weird things I noticed when re-watching recently.
And overall this is really interesting - I had assumed, from the random mixing of TNG and DS9 designs in the film, that the costume budget had been tiny and stretched until it broke. To now find out that there was supposed to be a whole new set of costumes - and, moreover, costumes that you could give to the principle cast while leaving the extras in the old ones without it really showing - that never got off the ground makes so much more sense.
Nothing explains why Picard went back to his old uniform for the last scene on the crashed bridge, though. It's like they were trying to point out the discrepancy.

All the 5 uniforms consists of a white collar and short sleeves while the prior one was like a normal short-sleeve button shirt but all blue.

The one thing I didn't quite understand about Generations is why half the crew had the newer (DS9) style uniforms, while others had the older style uniforms. It doesn't seem like there was a specific reason for this, except for possibly while PIcard was on his "away" mission on Veridian III and while La Forge was being interrogated by Soren, the rest of the crew got new uniforms from starfleet. I'm sure it was intention in some way and was meant perhaps to mean a transition from the old ST TNG to the newer series (DS9). Even in a few of the DS9 eposides we can see O'Brien and Worf wearing the older uniform styles (black shoulder/collar) especially during the seasons where the two shows overlapped.

And now, according to some people, some variation of this version (apparently more closer to the toys) of the uniforms are now used on Star Trek Lower Decks. Whether you accept it o not, that's up to you.

I got a Geordi figure wearing those prototype uniforms. But I also got then I got Geordi wearing a DS9 Uniform.

Michael Mack also played a Romulan on TNG "The Pegasus".

[@Nikulas228]

the belt was added as thos uniforms used by some of the actors were from other actors from DS9. thats why the belt.

[@jecutus]

Love your material and your oddball sense of humour. Keep it up!

[@alcausito]

I was ignoring a stupid video, about Star Trek uniforms, in my feed.. Then I realized it was a Junkball video!! Thank you!

[@999benhonda]

I laughed when you pointed out how laforge's didnt fit right, I mean, it's bad enough he never got the girl!

[@dannyr2976]

I NEVER understood why the crew would wear TNG uniforms, then change. Apparently both Marina Sirtis and Gates McFadden did not transisiton to the 'DS9sies' as Gates thought it looked ugly and Sirtis just refused to wear hers. My BIGGEST gripe with the seasons 3 - 7/Generations uniforms were the cheaper one piece versions with the zip down the centre for the extras, they were saving money yes, but it did cheapen the production somewhat!

[@MikefromTexas1]

I liked the S1 designs, but all the others definitely seem more comfortable as well as good looking.

[@BitsofJoshua]

This is the first video of yours that I've seen. What a treat.

[@feliperisseto9113]

This abandoned uniform is far better than the old deep space 9 ones. It looks very classy.

[@spinnerkeys]

Good job! Someone needs to talk about the ever changing DS9 uniforms undergarment colour, see Season 3, even illustrated in your video, one minute it’s purple, then it’s blue, then it’s grey.
