So here’s a fun topic with no bearing on reality or anything important enough to bother anyone, I hope. You’ve just joined Starfleet! Which Star Trek era, show, or ship would you be on, and which uniform would you wear? Why? Or do you reject the whole reality, and prefer to be a Jedi?
I’m Old school, grew up watching TOS, so I’m going with the original Enterprise, the original series uniform (because it’s cute with the mini skirt!), and I’m wearing blue, because I’m a nerd, and science rocks (besides, in reality I’m an engineer and I know how either boring or how insane it can be in the engine room, and I want to do different from my job), with the rank of lieutenant.
Bridgette von Smirff, LT, Starfleet… that looks pretty cool
No question – TOS with the 60s mini skirts and boots.
I would also wear blue as I always wanted to be the very, very sexy Dr Helen Noel – famous for having fooled around with the Capt at the ship Christmas party. I would totally do that!
As a young boy watching the reruns, I saw Helen Noel and immediately wished I could look like her. A great role model 😉
Great one, Bridgette!
Obviously the original with those wonderful mini-dress uniforms.
And who could forget the episode that fired a young crossdresser’s imagination — Kirk switching bodies with a woman!
Has to be the original miniskirt (in blue please) and boots for me, totally impractical for exploring new worlds but oh so sexyy.

I’ll break off from the treky answer. I’m a star wars guy. I’m going with Ahsoka Tano from clone wars season 3-5. Amazing outfit that is form fitting. I love the mix of a dark red top with grey pants and red boots. Finished off with some amazing details. Both practical and fashionable. Looking at it makes me feel sexy and powerful. Lets face it, lightsabers don’t hurt either.

Sorry ladies, but as a “60 going on 30” girl, I am all over the space-time continuum on this. Do I choose the voluptuous blonde Yeoman Janice, the beautiful brunette Deanna Troi or Zoe Saldana, who looked magically delicious as a young Uhura in “Star Trek Into the Darkness?”
Much like Kirk, who cheated the Kobayashi Maru to pass the exam, I can’t lose! 💋
TOS rocks with the micro mini’s, black tights and boots, especially in blue. Red for women was good also and they didn’t get killed off as often as men. Can you say sexism? I thought you could. Go back to your neighborhood Mr. Rodgers!
There was a great start to Next Gen, the two part pilot episode “Journey to Farpoint “. There were men in mini skirts! Wow! I was hooked, unfortunately they didn’t keep it for the rest of the series. There were the formal dress uniforms that Picard and Riker had to wear once. Ankle length, heavy looking coats that Riker complained about being a dress. Hey, Will, if you don’t want it I’ll take it!
When the girls started wearing pants it was the view of the future. Now the future is here. Bummer.

Hi Bridgette, Oh this is an easy one. Definitely the original series from the 1960s, I watched every episode back then and am still watching them today. And of course we are talking about the women’s uniforms – even in the future, men’s clothing is drab. I’d probably graduate Starfleet on a leadership track so I guess I’d get the gold uniform (though I really think the red one is the sexiest but I will stick with the gold one).
Hmmm, Star Wars – I kind of like Leia’s slave girl outfit – Hey what a great idea for a Halloween costume but my spouse won’t go for it. But I do have a Star Trek tunic in blue that I can match up with black slacks and black boots. Thanks, I now have my Halloween costume set for next October. Oh If you go to the CDH Trekkies group, you’ll see a photo of me in that outfit. That is three years old so I’m wearing a wig. I should update that photo as I no longer wear a wig and I could wear a black skirt instead of the pants.
Take care, Hugs, Krista
Bridgette… wonderful topic…
I’m a voyager fan….and so it has to be Seven of Nine…omg.
Jeri Ryan, to die for ❤️
…if I could swap places with her,
Prepare the transporter !!
and I’m with you Stevie, heels on a starship make perfect sense
all sixes and sevens, grace xx
You noticed her too, eh Grace? Lol
Oh Jeri…. Jeri…. Jeri….., where was I…..?
Oh ya, Jeri, please assimilate me. ❤
Noticed her????
can I remember much of the storyline to an episode she was in….probably not…haha xx
OMG, I forgot about her. Feel like I should spend a month in the penalty box (no dressing, men’s underwear & no shaving). She was so off the charts. Talk about wanting to be assimilated…resistance would have been futile!
I either saw that pic or you showed me…and if they don’t post it, I say we overthrow the image administrators. Who’s with me? 😂
Brilliant photo Leah, those boots! And you have all the equipment too!
But as you are one of the red suited team members it’s been nice knowing you, I do hope your ending won’tbe too horrible.
live long and prosperLt. Diana Morgan, starfleet command.
I remember thinking as a child what a glorious future was awaiting me as I watched all of the beautiful female crew members of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701 working and wearing sexy miniskirts! You have to remember, this was a time when only males were entering space and landing on the moon in their horrible looking and bulky spacesuits!
I would want to be a Second-in-Command Officer (much like Number One), who would get to beam down to make first contact and have most of the fun/danger so that the Captain could remain safely aboard his/her ship. But, I would want to remain in Starfleet uniform when beaming down to the planet, rather than having to wear such drab clothing that so often seemed to be native to the planet’s population.
Finally, I would like to fight the original Klingons – when they looked like evil humans and not like “some damn hairy ape!” (Ode to Planet of the Apes).

Wow so many fun replies below!
I will add to my original reply — besides wanting to be Dr Helen Noel, as a young boy I also wanted to be “the Captain’s Woman” during the Mirror universe episode. So sexy, loved the uniform, and loved the idea of being the ship’s sex bomb who the men would fight over.
I say I wanted that as young boy, but hell, I would love that today too! 🙂
As many here are giving themselves ST names, just call me “The Captain’s Woman” 😉
Jenny darling, I’d def binge watch your episodes! BTW – did you get my PM ?
Hi Bridgette I’m old school too i prefer the original series, the short mini skirts and the boot’s they wore so sexy x
I wouldn’t wear the red outfits though if they went on one of the away teams to explore one of the planets they were the first to cop it,
Hugs Rozalyne x
Oh Roz…so true!!!….
Kirk, Spock, McCoy and some bloke you have never seen before…hmmm, wonder which one gets eaten,?????
I would love to explore new worlds so would be on the ship from the Enterprise series. They were the first ones to venture out. That would be amazing. Life long Trekie.

Great topic Bridgette, I am a big fan of Star Trek! I am intrigued by both reality and science fiction. I have watched the series with captain Picard, Kirk all the way back to Pike. I always loved the mini-skirt uniforms from the different eras. You just gave me an idea, I going buy one from Amazon and watch the series all over again enfemme!

Laura,
Your mention of Captain Archer reminded me of the oh so cute Porthos!!! I’d have to dognap Porthos and give him the love and attention that Captain Archer never had time to give him! LOL!

I also prefer the original series but did watch season one of Discovery last year. There really wasn’t much else to watch. I especially liked the parts where they were in the mirror universe. The uniforms were fun as well!
While I still think that Yeoman Janice Rand from the original series was probably the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen – especially in that short mini dress and tights – I thought the best series was DS9, where both Jadzia and Ezri Dax just exuded beauty and personality (something that Janice Rand wasn’t really allowed back in the 60’s.) Of course, me being me, there’s only one place that the Federation would employ me… Operative Inga Krasivaya, Section 31.
You can watch out – but inevitably you won’t see me… Invisible Inga.
First series I watched was TNG and then Voyager. Also looked a lot at Enterprise, DS9 and TOS. Discovery I started watching but I’m not as interested in that one, to much war there.
As for OT – “just graduated”, then TOS era is of course the winner and as for uniform I don’t mind red since while they where most often killed they where also the most of them. I mean if 10 red,1 blue and 1 gold beam down and two red and one blue is killed does that mean red is deadlier?
Yes, lots of interesting characters like Yeoman Janice Rand/Grace Lee Whitney (who is the one who convinced Gene Roddenberry to have minidress as uniform to show off her legs), nurse Chapel, 7of 9 and so on.
Then we have reoccurring guests that are far from bad but those skinny people is only something to dream of.The one I at least have a remote chance to dress like without being a shape shifter would be Lwaxana Troi. I like what she wear (except her wedding) but her larger than life character is nothing I would be able to do.

Uniform-wise would be difficult. Most of the working uniforms are from appropriate working uniforms. As for service dress uniforms, I would have to go with the Grey uniforms in the reboot. As for mess dress, it would have to be those shown in Insurrection or Nemisis. I have no choice for full dress as no such uniform was ever really shown.
As for era, it would be difficult. I have always question the realism of aspects in all eras. Being a science fiction fan and writer, realism is important to me.

I would be over the moon (lol) to be Councillor Troi.
https://images.app.goo.gl/MkWW4yqWw7wFdYby5This one is easy for- me. Is there anything in the universe sexier than the original ladies uniforms from the first series- mini dress, pantyhose and Go Go boots- beam me up Scotty! Now what color? Probably red, but that puts you in greater risk of being killed on a strange planet- and being seduced by Captain Kirk!
Bridgette….
Did you know…
All star fleet panties were not one piece…being very very tight, they had a hem running under the crotch…which was extremely irritating. Apparently there were no CD’s in star trek because of how abrasive the hem was on their dilithium crystals. …………
The saying ” Seam up me botty” was often heard during shooting on the set…..this was later altered and used as the famous ” beam me up Scotty” to avoid embarrassment. The phrase ” Captain, I’ve chafed my photon torpedo” was actually never used.
if you believe this drivel, you will believe anything!!!!
Smiles, grace ❤️❤️
I would choose TOS. The original series was classic. And, the uniforms were better than other sci fi series(see Lost in Space) as well as the Star Trek sequels.
I liked all the other series(including the 3 Discovery seasons and Picard) except Deep Space Nine. That one had story lines that were not as interesting as the others. I would even give Enterprise the nod over Deep Space Nine. And, most people say Enterprise was the worst.
I also like all the movies without exception that were made by Rodenberry and Berman. The ones made since by JJ Abrams or whoever I do not think are as good.
My 2 cents on all things Star Trek – although I might have gotten off the uniform track.
Alice Black
Oh dear, I seem very much out of step here. I always thought the point of Star Trek TOS was that it would finally evolve into Voyager, which itself was a vehicle for the appearance of 7 of 9. I guess her ‘uniform’ was a one off, but didn’t she look fetching with that Borg jewelry?

– purely her phenomenal intellect no doubt 😉
Hi Bridgette,
Great topic, so many choices. I think I’m going to stick with TOS… Lt. Uhura in the Mirror, mirror episode (alternate universe).

Luv, CindyGosh Paula…I am so jealous xx
Lt. Uhura all the way!!! I would love to have her outfit or a pattern of it so I could make one. I would so wear that at a Star Trek convention….
Hugs, MaryAnn
Laura — I spent awhile looking for that machine! 😝
You fibber Laura..
It’s 80’s supergroup ” The Human League “….that’s definitely Phil Oakey in the middle……🎶don’t you want me baby!!!!🎶

Haha…🎶I’m only human🎶
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Slightly ot, but I always wished they’d kept the Kelvin timeline going it has the freedom to break new ground with old characters. But with a new streaming series with Captain Pike, now that’s gonna rock some, and you know the end, Pike is relieved by Kirk. Should be fun, and they were at least missing at TOS uniforms on Discovery!
Love almost anything that keeps it all alive

They have ideas for it, but it’s hard to do something without their Checkov. They have to find a way to write him out.
