The uniforms played a big part in making this series look very believable with functional Starfleet jumpsuits that look practical. Also the other versions like cold weather or desert climate clothing was far more realistic than just visiting planets that have these climates wearing only the regular Starfleet uniforms which nearly always happened in the other Star Trek series.
I really liked those quilted away team jackets; they were a lot better than the windbreaker type. It's obvious that the UPN executives didn't have a clue since they drove the network into the ground
As a veteran, that patch on the right arm was totally cool, because by the time frame of the final episode the Enterprise had already fought in the Romulan War. And anyone who was in the Army would recognize that as an obvious combat patch. Great little detail
I hate it. It was boring and stupid. Plus it made mankind look backward compared to every other race when in TOS the main villains and Vulcans seemed on equal footing. Plus the wig they gave T’pol in the first 2 seasons made her look retarded.
@@mem1701movies You don’t need hold back on me now you can tell me how you really feel about the show, sarcasm aside I get what you mean it could be boring The writing could be lazy, I like T’pol’s wig in the second season more than the first in my opinion it made look her more Vulcan to me at least.

"Non-functional pockets." The Enterprise equivalent to the labels on the original Enterprise's bridge control panel that said GNDN (goes nowhere, does nothing)!

Hey you guys are great, but you totally missed Doctor Flox! His outfits were radically different than the other cast members, and I assume his physical fitness standards were also relaxed.
I liked his uniforms too. Not sure he had a rank besides CME on the Enterprise. If not, he had the freedom-like T'Pol-to wear what he might have had on Denoblia as a dr.
It was the first and only time a Star Trek uniform made sense. And don't forget the MACO's, to this day i believe in a one to one fight, the ENT crew could beat any other crew 100 or 200 years later. The TNG era security is a joke compared to MACO.
@@23GreyFox Indeed, Starfleet Security might be adequate for the ships itself. But every ship, especially ships like the Galaxy, Defiant or Sovereign class should have a MACO equivalent on board.
@@TheRaidenLP Those Space Marines would eat the lizard men for breakfast! Especially if Star Fleet did not consider the lizards as sentient. Imagine a platoon finishing a heavy battle. The men and a few women settling down on any inhabitable world to a hearty meal of lizard steak.

They share the feast with Klingon, Romulan and later Cardassian troops.🤠🤓👹🤡
Never saw that Columbia patch close up before. Noticed it has seven stars, presumably commemorating the seven astronauts lost on the Space Shuttle Columbia.
I didn’t like the look of the Enterprise jumpsuits for the longest, but now that I’m watching the series and seeing all the NASA inspirations in the show, I really like them.
As someone who has many strong opinions on the many Starfleet uniforms we've seen over the years, this video was great and I'd love to see more videos on any Starfleet uniforms.
Thanks for the info on the ENT true uniform color. FYI T'Pol had 17 uniform variations in the 3rd and 4th seasons, talk about being a fashion horse...😀
Dude comm badges aren't just in pop culture, they're in real culture and real use.Have you been to a hospital in the last 8 years?the use comm badges.they have little white boxes on their chests that they tap a button on and say who they want to talk to and on with the convo
Great job Paul, highly entertaining. If I have a tiny constructive criticism it would be that it's not a race, you don't have to talk quite that fast. It was almost dizzying to listen to. Thanks for the insight though. :D
You should do an episode on the monster maroon and all its variants. Including where the heck that one still of the monster maroon in division colors is from.
I still like "TOS" as no.1 as it was my introduction to "ST" as a child. "MFU" was my first love. "Enterprise" was next and then "TNG" and "Voyager" (though I prefer the "NCIS" series).
Honestly, T'Pol looked sexier those couple of times she wore a standard Starfleet jumpsuit than in her civvies and altered civvies, but that might just be me. I like a woman in uniform.
Paul it's great to finally hear the author behind the articles, and all the passion in your voice! 😀 Keep up the great work, and I hope you do voice over for more videos!!! 🤞
"The execs hated the quilted excursion jacket pattern." Why?! The quilted pattern looks better... then again these are probably the same folks who balked at not having Transporters, Phaser hand weapons, and other normally used Trek standbys.
Wait, did y’all hire a new person? An American??? (I’m American too, so, I empathize haha) Or is this the fabled Paul who Adam Clery is always shouting out?

Yeah..... The ratings drop was because not enough sex appeal and had nothing to do with mirroring the then on the news every night fruitless search for terrorist attackers dominating the traditionally forward looking and somewhat escapist Star Trek.
Thinks the formal jumpsuit is odd, does not blink an eye at admiral uniforms in the future that were not anything more then the default costumes with more bells and whistles on it
Enterprise are my least favorite uniforms in all the 1966 through 2005 Star Trek's. Just my opinion, don't mean to offend anyone that has a different one.
Yeah... they don’t look sharp... just like mechanics. The uniform that I think looks the classiest is the FIRST CONTACT ones because they still look good and not dopey all these years later.

Which one is that, the Columbia disaster?
I want a short trek where Q bridgings all the series captians to a round table meeting. No big adventure, just the captians quipping at each other 😂
Please cover Dominion War era grey uniforms next.
Best looking uniforms in the franchise IMO. I really like the Enterprise ones too, they are the most practical but still look good.
You forgot the coolest uniforms in the whole series... MIRROR UNIVERSE UNIFORMS!!!
That's almost enough fabric for another video...
@@Timberwolf69 It's almost enough fabric for a whole outfit.
@@DrakeAurum A whole wardrobe.
"So you want to be a pirate... Better carry your black flag!"
Enterprise uniforms seem practical. Like what the Air Force would design starting from a USAF flight suit.
Nice to hear Paul on video hope there more to come in the futura
I didn’t like the look of the Enterprise jumpsuits for the longest, but now that I’m watching the series and seeing all the NASA inspirations in the show, I really like them.
How about the Romulan ones. How they changed from TOS into TNG and then from TNG to DS9 and Nemesis

This series deserved more than 4 seasons
Great having Paul as a narrator; love having a couple different folks tell the Trek Story.
Agreed I thought he did a really good job.
He speaks way to fast. Can't watch.
I want to shout "BREATH!"
Lower Decks and rewatching old trek helped before lower decks showed up I need more Trek in my life

What I liked was the admiral uniform looked like suits.
0:59 I always wondered how comfortable and breathable that thing was!
Have you guys, or will you guys, ever talk about the fan made Star Trek Continues? It would be interesting to see your thoughts.
It never made any sense to not have buttons, zippers, and pockets.
Enterprise had the most realistic uniforms.
I really like the movie era red coats.
Finally someone had the same idea as me! Would love to see a series between old and new Trek dedicated to the redcoats!!!
Great job Paul, highly entertaining. If I have a tiny constructive criticism it would be that it's not a race, you don't have to talk quite that fast. It was almost dizzying to listen to. Thanks for the insight though. :D
Glad yo hear frm you again Paul!!! I can see why Jolene didn't want anything to do with the new Trek series! Damn now-fired UPN execs!
Please unzip the Monster Maroons next! Loved this feature!
Finally an American/Canadian presenter, but their particular speech pattern that several other TH-camrs have really bugs me for some reason 😖
"I´m Paul and do not need a forced british accent" :)
Bring Enterprise back! My favorite Star trek!
LOL I’m older! In the 70’s, we flicked our wrist on the playground to beam up!
My favorite uniform.
brilliant vid
I always thought the jumpsuits resembled USN submarine uniforms.
I heard the Enterprise in this series was actually designed to resemble a submarine!!!
Early promotional materials from right before the series premiere kept emphasis on taking design cues from submarines.
You didn't notice the hatched doors? Made me wonder how Trip's engineering friend got around in that wheelchair.
TPOL is my Trek crush for life
You should do an episode on the monster maroon and all its variants. Including where the heck that one still of the monster maroon in division colors is from.
Enterprise is my second favourite Trek. Just edging out Lower Decks and behind the almighty DS9
This is my exact ordering too

Mirror universe uniforms addendum please.

I'm guessing Paul is new. My word boy, slow down a bit on the narration. Don't rush through it as though you're just trying to get it over with.

The alternate universe patch is cool 2:20
and the m.a.c.o. patch from season 3
I would love to see a maco dress uniform
I really liked star trek Enterprise
Banned jackets? Highly illogical. 🖖
What a baaaaaaaaad pun at the end
Best thing about the nx class uniform is T'Pols uniforms.
#3 ten years later, Hoshi and whats his name are still Ensigns.
The Maco's!
What is "MACO"?
Complaining about Tpol like they have not been doing that to lady characters since ToS and TNG
You forgot the MACO Uniforms
DS9
It's a Speedsuit.
Did you record this in your bathroom while high on speed? My dude, I know you're new but your audio game and cadence need work.
I'd ask for a refund.... oh wait.
Always go with one more zipper than you're comfortable with
🤘😜🤘
The jumpsuits were fine as everyday work uniforms, but the variant dress uniform and the admirals version just looked dumb.
And then Discovery f'ed it up 🤦🏾♂️
Discovery looks like the same time as Enterprise. Similar uniforms, familiar ships, just a little more tech in the panels.
Try saying " T'Pol " in a Lancashire accent.
