Description A small set of uniforms I recently designed for Star Trek. They would be used after the gray-shouldered variety that they introduced in First Contact. The idea is that the Federation is in a time of peace and renewed exploration so they turn away from the dark, militaristic uniforms from the Dominion War.

Please note that the pants actually have pockets.

Man, I really like these uniforms.  They're definitely my favorite.  If I had to change one thing I think I'd try to incorporate the shoulder piping motif, but I'd pay money for a costume like this.

Nice! These definitely bring some of the movie-era class back to those drab black & gray uniforms! I especially like the TMP-ish look of the medical uniforms... the unis in TMP were some of my favorites.

Question: what does the light blue color stand for? Is it for "UN Peacekeeping"?

Anyway, in my opinion, I would have the primary uniforms as the standard duty uniforms (cranberry red, gold and teal). The white would be dress uniforms, and they would have the light blue colors. In fact, I would think that the dress uniform would symbolize the same color style for peace (light blue). Also, I would have lightblue shirt/white jacket or vest/charcoal black for enlisted, lightblue shirt/ white jacket or vest/white pants for officers. In other words, I wouldn't want to make the lightblue as a part of a classification, since, as you put it, this is Starfleet post-war. Office and enlisted (not just diplomats) should have the same "face" in this regard.

Good work as always.

I updated the image with labels for the different uniforms.

Basically, the light blue is a medical variant. The second row is also a set of medical uniforms. I was inspired by the old TOS movies which had different uniforms for the medical personnel. The entire set was pretty much inspired by those uniforms.

I haven't done finalized versions of all the designs yet, but I'll be uploading the sketched versions in a few minutes.

I'm glad you like them. Thanks for the comment

I do like the overall design. I was just curious about the colors. Anyway, good job.

I should have labeled them from the beginning. For some reason it didn't occur to me that they wouldn't automatically scream "Medical" to everyone lol

Hey, it's all good. You already explained the color scheme in your previous post. Most people are only used to the three primary colors of the TOS style (four if you count the gray cadet uniforms)...
