Star Trek's Bold New Starfleet Uniform Redesigns Are Here And They're Gorgeous

The Star Trekfranchise's new era arrives with a brilliant update to the Starfleet uniforms' designs. One of the many elements the Star Trek universe has turned into a pop culture staple is the Starfleet uniforms. In Star Trek: The Original Series, the vibrant division colors established an efficient visual shorthand for Starfleet's chain of command, while unintentionally birthing the trope of the ill-fated "redshirt", whose uniform became synonymous with cannon fodder. As the franchise expanded through The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager, the uniforms evolved into sleek and professional two-piece suits and grey-shouldered duty tunics that still retained the simplicity of The Original Series' basic costumes.
