Starfleet uniforms in 2399

By 2396, the standard Starfleet uniform was reverted to a style similar to the late 2360s and early 2370s iteration. By 2401, this uniform had been replaced by a new iteration. (PIC: "No Win Scenario", "The Star Gazer")

Standard duty uniform[]

Starfleet uniform fabric detail, 2399

Shirt fabric detail

This uniform consisted of a black turtleneck undershirt, a pair of black trousers, and a black top with division colors displayed on both its shoulders and its high collar. Unlike the previous uniform iteration, the 2390s uniform did not have a black stripe running through the division color, and had small Starfleet deltas on the shoulder fabric, much like the uniforms from the alternate reality created by the arrival of Nero in 2233. (PIC: "Remembrance", "Maps and Legends")

Division colors from the previous iteration were continued.

In a departure from the previous uniform style, rank insignia were moved from the turtleneck to the upper right side of the wearer's chest, against the officer's division color. (PIC: "Remembrance", "Maps and Legends", "The Impossible Box", "Et in Arcadia Ego, Part 2")

Flag officer uniform[]

The flag officer uniform had a completely different design, being grayish-black with a red undershirt that had no turtleneck.

Unlike the standard duty uniform, it lacked the pattern detail of small Starfleet deltas anywhere on the fabric. (PIC: "Remembrance", "Maps and Legends", "Broken Pieces")

Rank insignia[]

The rank insignia and rank system used with this uniform were the same as those used for all Starfleet uniforms since the 2350s, except that the golden pips had been replaced by silver ones. The pips of flag officers were placed on a dark gray isosceles trapezoid with a silver border.

Background information[]

These uniforms were designed by Christine Clark. In designing the costume, Clark researched the lineage of Starfleet uniforms, noting: "we wanted to get a severity of lines to that, to take the color blocking [that had come before]; . . . very structural, and geometric, and kind of simple." (TRR: "Away Mission Special")
