Anyone know about or have any pictures of the new uniforms that were designed for use on Generations, but where ultimately scrapped in favour of using a combination of TNG and DS9 uniforms?
Cheers

I can't remember ever seeing the pictures on the internet, but they're in one of the Star Trek books. Might've been The Art of Star Trek.
They really were quite awful. Hopefully someone has some pics online.

They weren't THAT bad - they were kind of nautical.

They had collars that Elvis impersonators would be embarrassed to be seen in.

They made action figures with those uniforms, if memory serves.

I have them... in my Ent-D bridge and Engineering sets. They look like the TNG uniforms from Season 4 onward but they have the command rank stripes on the sleeve. At least that's the only thing I can find new on them. Try this site as it has it: Spike's Uniform Page- Non Canon
If you look at ST: EF2, they use the basic layout of the uniforms that weren't used but with FC colors and patterns.

There are more additions than just the rank stripes, if I remember right.
First off the collar of the uniform had the department colour with black piping, and it looked like it buttoned across the front of the body, almost like the STII-VI red uniform jackets.
Also, on the action figures (as far as I remember) the collar looked different, there was more of a gap at the neck - it looked more like the collar on the current Galactica uniforms than the little collar on post season 4 TNG.
Could be that the First Contact style of uniform grew out of the aborted Generations style as there are a few similarities - the department colour moved up to the collar, the stripes on the sleeve (not rank on the FC version, but still there) and a generally more jacket-like look to the whole thing rather than the TNG jumpsuit.
The first thing I remember thinking when I looked at the action figures was that they were looking for TNG's version of the TOS movie red uniform, something a little more dressy and formal. Did they actually shoot any footage with the new uniforms? And if so has it been included in any special edition releases?

I believe that one of the deleted scenes of Geordi getting tortured showed the new uniforms...

I've actually been working on turning those uniforms into a more FC-styled "Class A" uniform to go with the FC BDUs.
