The original Star Trek television series opened their first pilot with similar uniforms between the men and women. The ladies uniform generally consisted of a velour style of shirt, while the rest of the uniform came with black boots and black tights, along with a short black skirt. Although it was rare, sometimes you would see one of the ladies wearing black pants instead of the skirt, a trend that would become more standard on “The Next Generation.” The men’s Star Trek uniforms were definitely similar to the ladies, as you would everything the same except black pants instead of a skirt and tights. In the very early pilot, Star Trek symbol was actually affixed to the left sleeve instead of on the chest. Even from the beginning, shirt colors were used to identify each crew member’s duties.
