[QUOTE]Originally posted by Siegfried: [QB] I was expecting something a bit more creative in terms of the rank system than taking the TNG pips and turning them into silver rectangles. And, of course, I do have a theory about this. The rank system we're familiar with from the TNG era could be an Earth tradition. When the Federation is formed and the Federation Starfleet comes into existence, all of the founding members provide input into the organization. Perhaps the Andorians, Tellarites, or Alpha Centaurians proposed the strip rank and the uniform look while Earth provided the department breakdown and color scheme. Eventually, someone else got the chance to do the TOS movie era through Pre-TNG ranks, and then Earth got custody of the Uniform Control Division. This may also explain why there have been three different uniforms in 14 years. On a similar note, is Dr. Phlox in Starfleet? Of everything I've seen for Enterprise, only once has he been wearing something resembling a Starfleet uniform (namely, one of the promos where his back is to us and he's with Tucker). Then, it's only certain he's wearing a field jacket. Everything else has him in this light-colored jumpsuit. [/QB][/QUOTE]
