Best Star Trek Uniform?

I grew up with the "monster maroons", so that was my single vote.

They're the most "navy" of them all, as far as I'm concerned.

Which is why Gene Roddenberry totally hated them.

I never got how his "we're peaceful explorers" idea meshed with and armed StarFLEET which had clearly a military structure.

I've heard it said that it was more intended to resemble the coast guard than the navy.  The book "Ship of the Line" illustrated this really well with the Bozeman's border patrol, depicting it as a cutter, not a naval warship.

Because he was Utopian weenie from the fucking 60s.

You guys are trapped in your close-minded, conflict-ridden 20th century thinking, whereas Roddenberry was thinking in a super-happy, rainbows-for-all 23rd century mindset. You're just behind the curve.

I'm waiting for the Eugenics Wars to turn it all around, man.

Chicks looked great in the jump suits.  Dudes looked like dorkwads.

Yeah, but if we're talking chicks, we should just go with TOS miniskirts.

[Admiral Yi]

Your POV is a reasonable one, but personally I like the crotch huggers better.

There was a TNG miniskirt, but I think it was worn only by Troi and only in the pilot.

Troi's season one minidress, sans the stupid bun.

Say, BB, what kind of fitness requirements do the RCMP have?

Fairly tough fitness requirements.    http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/recruiting-recrutement/rec/pare-tape-eng.htm if you're curious. 

Why do you ask?

Some pear shapes in the pic you posted earlier, especially the chick in the front row.

Those pants are NOT flattering to the thighs.

And fitness requirements are not the same as thinness requirements.  My wife, once upon a time, was accepted into the RCMP, and she is best described as "curvy". :web:

Being thin might not be a requirement, but it sure helps. When I was a 150 lb high school freshman, I could run a mile in 7 minutes. Now I'd be doing well to get in under 13.
