My take on uniforms from Star Trek: The Original Series. With female variant!Related content

Nice, however in TOS "command" did not have a specific color, gold/yellow would be more appropriately titled "Operations" & red would be "Support" or "Services".
On the show Command officers of all three tunic colors were represented, including Commodore's & even other Ship Captains.
(Just an FYI.)

But it being command is canon. There was this exchange from DS9 episode "Trials and Tribble-ations":
[the crew has traveled back in time and is now wearing TOS-style uniforms. Sisko is wearing gold, O'Brien red and Bashir blue]
Bashir: Wait a minute. Aren't you two wearing the wrong color?
O'Brien: Don't you know anything about this period in time?
Bashir: I'm a doctor, not an historian.
Sisko: In the old days, operations officers wore red, command officers wore gold...
Dax: And women wore less.
[Dax appears behind them, dressed in a revealing TOS miniskirt-style uniform]
Bashir: I think I'm going to like history.

Unfortunately what they said on DS9 was contrary to the actual historical record.
I will give you a few examples, at least 2 commodore's were "redshirts" & both were commanders of Starbases, Stone & Stocker
In the episode "Court Martial" Kirk is put on trial, & the "panel" of jurors are all Starship Captains, one of them in a blue tunic.
Also, Spock is a science officer, but he is also the 1st officer of the Enterprise (2nd in command) so logic (no pun intended) would indicate that he should have been wearing yellow..if it were actually a "command color".
There are a lot of misinformation, & misinterpretation about the TOS uniforms, as another example I've often seen artwork of the dress uniforms with the rank insignia on the sleeves, the actual dress tunics didn't have that.
I'd show you pics, but I don't think I can do that in this format.
