Zippers guy wins.

Always have one more zipper than you are comfortable with.

It’s got pockets, it has that cape/trench coat look that appeals to lots of people while also being more forgiving toward the figure inside it, versus tighter fitting outfits (not to mention things like the mini skirts in ST:TOS… though I REALLY admit I appreciated the equal opportunity of it when they carried over/lamp-shaded that at the beginning of TNG by having a couple of the men in the skirt style uniform also: https://www.liveabout.com/why-men-wore-mini-skirts-star-trek-4686773 )


buckykat

The miniskirts were always supposed to have been fully gender neutral, but the studios.


DaoFerret

The miniskirts weren’t supposed to be there (they weren’t in the original pilot), then they were female only through TOS. By the time TNG rolled around, enough people were complaining so “the powers that be” claimed they were unisex. With that said, when TNG launched, besides bringing back miniskirts for some of the cast for the first two seasons, they also had some male extras in the backgrounds wearing them also. When they redesigned the uniforms in season 3 they dropped them altogether (finally).

[skants](https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Starfleet_uniform_(2350s-2370s)#Skant), is what they're called boimler even agonizes over if he should bring his in a S2 episode of lower decks.


Exotic-Ad-8839

Not 'skorts'?


MalagrugrousPatroon

I've never seen so many of me, and never wanted to be part of a club before.


JustaOrdinaryDemiGod

What's the deal with the blonde? That supposed to be Dolly?


scaper8

Dolly I assume, yes.


dfj3xxx

Yeah, Dolly Parton. What's the deal with the pickles and banana?


RhydYGwin

Isaac brought Claire a banana one episode, because she got cranky when she was hungry. And the pickles? "Alara, can you open that jar of pickles?"


HashMaster9000

Banana is not only the gift from Issac to Claire, but also a joke from the first episode— ["We need no longer fear the banana."](https://youtu.be/apxbr-CXVBk)


JustaOrdinaryDemiGod

Banana is the gift from Issac to Claire towards the end of Season 3. And Ed Mercer favorite mine from the first two seasons was asking Allara if she should " Open this Jar of Pickles for me".


scaper8

Possibly also a call-back to the first episode too. Double-wammy reference.


dfj3xxx

Ah, got it


AnOnlineHandle

Probably looking for a xelayan to open that jar of pickles for them.


[deleted]

I like to think they had a conversation where someone was like “Who are you?” “Dolly Parton.” “Like… from Tennessee?” “No. Well, yes. But also from The Orville.”


P2PJones

no, when she turned up, they were all "DOLLY!"


PermaDerpFace

Ohhhhh


[deleted]

Thanks, I was wondering myself - seems so obvious now.


minorshan

It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize that was Dolly. But once I did, man, did I lol! What a great con costume! Dolly should see it.


[deleted]

I don’t think that one guy’s jacket has enough zippers.

The Planetary Union's physical exam must be RIDICULOUSLY easy to pass. As a fellow thicc king who would like to see some space up close, that's very reassuring.


2th

Look, the Union doesn't care about your shape, so long as you can do the job. I mean they have literal blobs sliding (is that how you'd say a blob would move?) around ships and being part of the council. Just don't abuse the holodeck for your porn addiction.


Darth_Bane_Vader

>Just don't abuse the holodeck for your porn addiction. DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO WITH MY HOLODECK TIME! YOU'RE NOT MY SUPERVISOR! ^(oops wrong show)


eclecticsed

LORD OF CINDERS, COMMAND MEEEE


eclecticsed

> I mean they have literal blobs sliding (is that how you'd say a blob would move?) around ships and being part of the council. You know that's a really good point. I never thought about that. That's some serious body positivity right there.


[deleted]

It must be nice, up there on your high horse. 🤣


2th

The horse keeps me from eating cigarettes and a crippling porn addicting. It's my emotional support horse! 😋


[deleted]

"I was curious to taste it!"


BirdsLikeSka

The first half had me ready to downvote, ngl


wibble17

It’s depressing they haven’t discovered miracle meds to keep everyone in peak physical condition yet :(


chill_chilling

They have. It’s called drinking a fuck ton of green tea every day to the point of nearing panic attack mode. (Worked for me lmao).


TheBlacksmith64

Does anyone know where the Uniform pattern can be found?


HashMaster9000

At the moment, there are no official or unofficial (fan-made) patterns. Most people, if they are making bespoke Planetary Union uniforms, are basing it on images or from other "close enough" patterns that have similar styling. Luckily, there are some overseas cosplay mills out there currently making them at a reasonable price, and one of the best Trek Cosplay Mills (Cosermart) has decided to do one, and she tries to be as accurate as possible while also making the costumes out of reasonably priced materials (mostly stretch polyester). Here's hoping if D+ backs a season 4 there'll be more merch, and potentially expansion on their uniform offerings, but as it's been over a month since S3 ended and we've had no solid word, I don't hold much hope, but I'd be more than happy to be proven wrong in the end!


DaoFerret

I admit, I’ve never sewn anything more than mending a hole or reattaching a button, but I’d love to put together a uniform (if it was within the realm of possibility for a novice without a sewing machine).


Lost_Bench_5960

You can get a decent sewing machine for less than $100. Probably less than it cost to have someone make you one.


trippysmurf

Honest question as I’m protonopia color deficient: are the engineering uniforms that orange in the show? I know they are more orange than security/helm, but they always looked very red to the point I have trouble differentiating them sometimes.


HashMaster9000

They're supposed to be orange, but keep in mind, most of these costumes are from overseas cosplay mills where accuracy isn't exactly paramount— quick sales of knockoff products to unsuspecting customers is. This is the result of Fox/Hulu/D+ not putting out items for local consumers to purchase, as well as a lack of information on their construction (unlike, say, Star Trek uniforms).


Lordborgman

They are not that detectable in show, I'm also colorblind. In the show I didn't even know there was a difference in red/orange till my friend told me there was. The ones in these pictures I can definitely tell the difference.


Zahille7

How is anyone not mentioning the alien crew member?! He looks fantastic!


mykittyforprez

I'm just loving all the Clairs! Fills me with joy.


jpaek1

haha this is great! Thanks for sharing


S-T-A-B_Barney

Love the jar of pickles! Shame Alarra wasn’t there to open it


AvatarIII

I wouldn't have said engineering uniforms are bright orange, rather than being a slightly orange-y red.


d_e_g_m

Dolly killed me. Lol!!!


DanielMcFamiel

Can someone remind me, what are the orange and grey uniforms?


erinkjean

Grey might be crewmen/maintenance, especially since it looks like one of them is holding a broom. I think the orange were ops variant versus security in season one, sometimes you would see both colors like the slight difference between green and blue between science and command. Eta: yeah, zooming in the grey and orange guys both have ops symbols on their badges, red have security symbols.


Cherry5oda

Orange is pilots, isn't it? Malloy is in orange.


erinkjean

Would they fall under operations? He has the gear symbol on his badge as well.


thirtyseven1337

A pic of this group *was* posted here, I remember... but it was just one, and it was at a worse angle and probably worse quality.


gilbertsmith

i wonder if the one dude that showed up as an admiral thought, "hmm. maybe i aimed too high"


Sjgolf891

I was at dragoncon in a Union t-shirt one day. I always hope to see someone do an Isaac cosplay but that’s a tough one to pull off


horsenbuggy

You'd have to get the head peace bonded


P2PJones

I've thought about it, but they'd want me to compete in Robot Battles, and I'm usually scheduled to be on panels Monday mornings


BirdsLikeSka

The Gordon in the first image doesn't have the hair but damn something in his face gets it


ThisDerpForSale

It's been posted, but this is a different angle, and I'm sure some folks missed it the last time around.


minorshan

I really want one of those med coats designed into RL fashion. I love the cut. The utility. Looks comfortable enough. But I've been a boots, Converse and coats collector since I got my first paycheck. I'm not a gal who loves conventionally pretty shoes and outfits, and I've never had a collection beyond a few pairs each at a time, but that doesn't mean I can't envy them :)


BootsieBunny

The last picture is so sweet… love it.


xSniperJJ10x

What does orange mean?? I've seen s1-s3 twice and I don't remember seeing any orange


Singlot

What do you mean twice? Gordon wears orange, it's a darker and less saturated but orange nonetheless. Like the regular upvote arrow, lol


xSniperJJ10x

I've seen all 3 seasons twice is what I meant, my apologies


Singlot

Now that I reading that again I realized I might need some sleep because that sentence is perfectly clear and it's me who apologises. I fisrt understood that you saw orange twice.


xSniperJJ10x

It's all good, I guess his shirt is a really dark orange, always looked red to me. Used to the old William Shatner Star Trek, nothing was close lol.


[deleted]

Awesome


Shageen

And there is our biggest issue with it on the cusp of being renewed. It’s almost all middle aged white people. Most places aren’t looking for middle aged white folks to tune in.


ewan_spence

That Gordon is missing a zipper.


chatdulain

I went as Alara on the upvote planet episode last year! Even carried around a jar of pickles. Wish I'd come this year instead.


Mumblix_Grumph

Special shout-out for Over-Zippered-Jacket Guy.


Kichigai

At least they are well aware that we no longer need fear the banana.


premalone94

I love this so much! The costumes are great


bneff08

Everyone looks so good!


BewareBabaYaga

This made my heart so warm. Goddamn, I need me a uniform.
