John, three of my favorites things of being a boy in the ‘70s was experiencing the premiere first-run debut of Space:1999 in September 1975, Ark II in September 1976 and Star Trek:The Motion Picture on December 7th 1979. I liked all three uniform designs, especially because Alpha Moonbase, Ark II and Starfleet uniforms all had color-coded parts that defined section, gender or branch of service. In the J.J. Abrams Star Trek(2009) film had in the final scene Admiral Pike wearing a uniform like Kirk’s admiral uniform in your screen cap, nice nod to Star Trek:The Motion Picture. I love the '70s production designs.

Me, too. No matter what some people have said about the uniforms in Star Trek - The Motion Picture, I still like them to this day.
DeleteWhile I wasn't as enamored with these uniforms as others seem to be, as a kid when I notices the similarities, it made it easier to play mind games connecting them, like: after the moon blasted out of orbit, the wrecked earth needed surveying, until Captain Kirk brought the moon back, dressed like the Alphans not to scare them.
ReplyDeleteI hope JKM writes more about the future's sartorial choices,
