[QUOTE]Originally posted by AndrewR: [QB] OK, suppose that the season 1 DS9 uniforms in 2369 were the Starbase uniforms. And the Starships still wore the Season 3 uniform. Then in 2371 there was a gradual change over to the DS9 season 1 uniforms as the uniforms for starships AND starbases. Hence Voyager. Then in 2373 we had the phasing in of the Grey uniforms. Maybe this meant that the Starbase uniforms that were taken on by the entire fleet were a stop-gap measure between the two major sorts of uniforms. The Season 3 uniforms were only used for 6 years (until Generations). One would assume that a fleet wide change took place, Hence Voyager having the uniforms in 2372, as a standard uniform. The problems start to arise in the same year when in "Homefront/Paradise Lost" when Sisko returns to Earth - he subsequently changes out of the 'Starbase uniform' back into the season 3 'starship uniform' which is legitemate when viewed in light of "Emissary" (which seems to be the normal intention - two sets of uniforms), Generations blurs the line, but STILL it is acceptable for Sisko to wear the Season 3 uniform - since they were changing all over the place in Generations... but Why change at all when it was acceptable for anyone in any assignment to wear either the Starbase or starship uniform? Sisko felt like it? Then along comes Katie Janeway in the STARBASE uniform - which seems to be either 1. The fleet standard or 2. Up to the Captain. Maybe this explains the discrepencies that pop up in the final two seasons of DS9 where the season 3 uniform appears again, one and two years after the new grey uniform appears in 2373. So. Could it be a Captain's perrogative as to what his crew will wear - i.e. we don't seen any DS9 crewmembers during the 'mixed years of 2371 and 2372 wearing the Starship uniform, while on duty on the starbase. Maybe it was up to the Captain of a particular ship when the crew of his or her starship decided to change. Janeway deemed it unnecessary on their journey home. The captains that appeared in the Season 3 uniforms while the others are in grey uniforms might have decided to stay with the old uniforms. Maybe this is allowable until a certain date? Maybe as mentioned, they only changed when they got to a suitable starbase. Maybe since it was war time those captains did think it was necessary to change over. Or that their old uniforms were destroyed? What would REALLY stuff things up now would be for a group of officers to walk in, in pre 2366 uniforms. (and they hadn't been caught in some time paradox). We never did see what Lisa Cusak's uniform looked like... did we!?! It should have been pre 2366 (season 1/2 TNG) Maybe, the producers change the uniforms too much. [/QB][/QUOTE]
