{{aquote|I don't mean to disbelieve you, but that's hardly a [[United States military uniform#Navy|Navy uniform]].|[[Edith Keeler]]''' to [[Leonard McCoy]]'''|1930|The City on the Edge of Forever}}
'''[[Starfleet]]''' had four types of '''[[uniform]]s''' that were used from around the mid-[[2250s]] to the early [[2270s]]. The general tailoring of these uniforms was a "tunic and pants" design and was worn by Starfleet service people. This design was maintained throughout this period, but with changes in collar, [[rank insignia]], and revised colors for [[Starfleet division]]s and departments. ({{TOS|The Corbomite Maneuver}})

In the 2250s, {{dis|Starfleet uniform|late 2230s-2250s|a previous uniform design}} was also being used concurrently with this one at least until [[2258]]. ({{DIS|The Vulcan Hello|Brother|Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2}})

All uniforms of this era were made of an organic, [[algae]]-derived [[fabric]] called [[xenylon]]. ({{TAS|The Terratin Incident}}) In addition, they had built-in temperature controls to accommodate for cold weather environments. For example, upon beaming down to the surface of [[Sigma Draconis VI]], Captain Kirk instructed his [[landing party]] to set their "''suit temperatures to 72 [&deg;[[Fahrenheit|F]]].''" ({{TOS|Spock's Brain}})

These uniforms were {{dis|Starfleet uniform|mid 2270s|drastically replaced}} in the 2270s, with a change of many uniform variants sometime after [[2270]]. ({{film|1}})

== Standard duty uniform ==
=== Type A ===
This style of uniform lasted from before [[2254]], to at least [[2268]]. ({{DIS|The Vulcan Hello}})

This uniform was used by the crews of the {{USS|Enterprise|NCC-1701}}, the ''[[Antares]]'', and officers visiting [[Deep Space Station K-7]]. ({{TOS|The Cage|Where No Man Has Gone Before|Charlie X|The Trouble with Tribbles}}) In the late 2250s, this uniform design had been somewhat phased out, but it made a resurgence briefly around the mid-[[2260s]]. By 2267, it only saw occasional use and was for the most part replaced by newer variants. ({{TOS|Friday's Child|Dagger of the Mind}})

The standard duty uniform consisted of dark [[gray]] or dark blue trousers and a division-colored top, following the color code below. The previous [[Earth]] Starfleet-style of wearing a [[assignment patch|patch]] based on assignment continued, but the patch was moved to the chest. Rank was displayed by sleeve stripes. ({{TOS|The Cage}}) The top's collar was initially designed with a mock turtleneck appearance but many of them came straight up on the neck later on. ({{TOS|Where No Man Has Gone Before}})

{{bginfo|The original command "[[green]]ish-gold" uniforms were actually lime-green off camera, away from the stage lights. ''{{el|startrekpropauthority.blogspot.com/2008/05/bill-theiss-lost-interview-rare.html}}'' Also, some have described the "khaki-beige" operations uniforms as "gold", leading to confusion over the fact that they were two distinct colors. The [[remaster]]ed episodes restore the original colors and clear distinction between the uniforms.}}

==== High collar variant ====
One uniform style had a cowl neck collar and closed with a [[zipper]] down the back. This uniform also had black trousers similar to the regular uniform. This variant was mostly worn by women at the time. ({{TOS|The Cage|Where No Man Has Gone Before}})

</gallery>

==== Seamed variant ====
[[File:Spock and Kirk (2265).jpg|thumb|A command division officer in a duty uniform in 2265 (left)]]
A variant worn by certain personnel included a closing seam radiating from the side of the neck. ({{TOS|Where No Man Has Gone Before}})

{{bginfo|According to ''[[The Making of Star Trek]]'', a zipper was added to make it easier to get actor [[Leonard Nimoy]] out of his uniform shirt with his [[Vulcan]] makeup still on. [[George Takei]] also wore this type of shirt in {{e|The Corbomite Maneuver}}.}}
{{clear}}

=== Type B ===
This style, in use by 2254, was a simplified evolution of [[Starfleet uniform (late 2230s-2250s)#Type B|a variant of an earlier uniform]]. It did away with the zipper and collar, and was designed to be more casual and comfortable. ({{DIS|Brother}}; {{SNW|Strange New Worlds|Among the Lotus Eaters}})

In 2254, at least some officers on board the ''Enterprise'' used this uniform, although it only went into wide use around 2259. ({{SNW|Among the Lotus Eaters|Strange New Worlds}}) By 2265, the crew of the ''Enterprise'' had abandoned this design to briefly revert to the [[#Type A|original version]] before adopting [[#Type C|a new version]] [[2266|the next year]]. ({{TOS|Where No Man Has Gone Before}})

==== Variants ====
Some officers wore variant versions of the uniform with [[black]] tunic sides, sleeves and shoulders in addition to division colors. Additionally, officers of either gender could wear a [[skant]] or jumpsuit version of the uniform. ({{SNW|Strange New Worlds|Spock Amok}})

=== Type C ===
{{aquote|What is that? Is that a uniform of some kind?"<br>"This little thing? Just something I slipped on.|[[Fellini]]''' and '''[[James T. Kirk]]|1969|Tomorrow is Yesterday}}
[[File:McCoy, Scott, and Chekov.jpg|thumb|All three division colors: sciences blue, operations red, and command gold]]
This style is a further simplified evolution of the previous version from 2259. It was initially put into use on some starships by [[2265]], but other starship crews or individual service members continued to wear the older style until 2268. ({{TOS|Charlie X|Dagger of the Mind|Friday's Child|The Trouble with Tribbles}}; {{TAS|The Counter-Clock Incident}})

As with earlier Starfleet uniforms, the divisions were distinguished by color, and were generally described as gold (or green) for command, red for operations (engineering/special services), and blue for the sciences. ({{TOS|Dagger of the Mind}}; {{DS9|Trials and Tribble-ations}})

{{bginfo|According to uniform-designer [[William Ware Theiss]], "''The colors were chosen purely for technical reasons. We tried to find three colors for the shirts that would be as different from each other as possible on black-and-white [television sets] as well as color.''" (''[[Star Trek: Costumes]]'', p. 17)}}

Into the [[24th century]], scholars of Starfleet [[history]] will note the division colors of this era. [[Miles O'Brien]] and [[Benjamin Sisko]] told [[Julian Bashir]] of the different practices when, in posing as "contemporary" Starfleet officers during an unplanned visit to 2268, the doctor, admitting he was [[I'm a doctor, not a...|no historian]], initially did not understand why the captain wore a "gold" uniform and the engineer a red one, as the uniforms of his career conformed to a different standard. ({{DS9|Trials and Tribble-ations}})

{{bginfo|While dialog corresponds with what visually appeared on screen, the gold command uniforms' color were actually a shade of green. (''[[The World of Star Trek]]'', p. 95)|Theiss explained, "''It was one of those film stock things. It was photographed one way &ndash; burnt orange or a gold &ndash; but in reality, the Command shirts were definitely green.''" (''[[Star Trek: Costumes]]'', p. 17)}}

The standard duty uniform consisted of a tunic and pants worn with standard issue black leather boots.

The duty uniform top was a long-sleeve, division-colored tunic, with a closing seam from the collar to the left shoulder. ({{TOS|The Corbomite Maneuver|Charlie X}}) Furthermore, tunics typically bore [[rank insignia]], displayed as sleeve stripes, and an assignment patch on the left breast was worn by all personnel. The tunics had either a black collar with a V-shaped bottom, or were collarless, allowing for the wearer to instead wear a black undershirts. Though generally worn under the [[#Short-sleeved tunic|short-sleeved tunic]] and [[#Duty jumpsuit|jumpsuit]] uniform tops, they were not strictly required for everyday wear. ({{TOS|The Naked Time}}, et al.) The black boots rose above the calf and zippered along the inside. ({{TOS|Charlie X|Obsession|Wink of an Eye}}; {{DS9|Trials and Tribble-ations}})

Black pants were worn that ended in length midway down the shank of the boot and terminated in a one-inch-wide flare, similar to the style worn by sailors on old Earth.

{{bginfo|According to actor [[James Doohan]], "''Personally, I didn't like the flare legs on the trousers. I didn't like the way they stuck out, I thought that they came on kind of fey. But after a while, it worked out, I got used to it. I think though, that it might have been just as good if they had just had a band of red down the trousers, you know, red for engineering, blue for scientific, green for command, and so on.''" (''[[The World of Star Trek]]'', p. 95)}}

==== Skant variant ====
{{aquote|In the old days, operations officers wore red, command officers wore gold...''"<br>"''And women wore less.|[[Benjamin Sisko]]''' and '''[[Jadzia Dax]]|2268|Trials and Tribble-ations}}
Crew members could choose between a standard uniform tunic with pants, or a one-piece uniform that continued down into a miniskirt over matching high cut shorts, worn with black [[hosiery|hose]] and boots, though this uniform was mostly worn by females at this time. Skant uniform tunics also had a large open collar, the seam closed right at the assignment patch. There were two variations of the skant tunic: one with a black collar and another version which had the collar colored the same as rest of the tunic. ({{TOS|The Man Trap|Charlie X|The Naked Time|What Are Little Girls Made Of?}})

Some later variants of the skirt uniform seem to have been two-piece uniforms. ({{TAS|The Lorelei Signal}})

Similarly to type B, captains had a choice of more [[casual duty attire|casual]] clothing to wear when on duty. Both Christopher Pike and James Kirk favored a green wrap-around tunic. Kirk favored two variations of a green wrap-around tunic, the first with rank stripes spread across the left and right shoulder, and the second with sleeve rank stripes like the standard uniform. Unlike the standard uniforms, the assignment patch was used as a fastener near the waist. [[Charles Evans]] wore a beige version of this uniform with a cream colored undershirt. Evans' uniform didn't have any rank insignia. ({{TOS|The Enemy Within|Charlie X|The Doomsday Machine}}; {{ENT|In A Mirror, Darkly, Part II}}; {{SNW|Spock Amok|Charades}})

{{bginfo|It isn't entirely clear where Evans got the beige uniform, either from the ship's stores or if he made it himself, so it remains unknown if it was Starfleet issue.|The tunic worn by Evans was an early version of the costume originally designed for Kirk. (''[[The Star Trek Compendium]]'')|Kirk's wraparound jacket was light green, one variation in {{e|Charlie X}} with captain's braid on one shoulder, two other variations in [[TOS Season 2]] with gold trim only with rank on the sleeves appearing only in {{e|The Doomsday Machine}} and with both gold and black trim with rank on the sleeves for the remainder of the season. The [[mirror universe]] {{mu|Jonathan Archer}} wore this variant uniform in {{ENT|In A Mirror, Darkly}}. This style was not seen at all in [[TOS Season 3]].}}

==== Outpost variant ====
The uniforms worn by some [[outpost]] personnel, as opposed to [[starship]] and [[starbase]] personnel, varied in form of having a shinier fabric, with a dull beige color worn over a standard black undershirt, and lacked rank insignia on the sleeves. ({{TOS|Balance of Terror|Arena}})

=== Cadet's uniform ===
Starfleet [[cadet]]s who were serving at outposts and starbases wore a uniform that consisted of a tunic top made out of a reflective gray material with a black V-shaped collar and black trousers. A a ten-pointed star patch insignia was worn on the left breast. These uniforms had been introduced by [[2252]] and were still in use by 2268. ({{TOS|Shore Leave|The Trouble with Tribbles|Wolf in the Fold}})

{{bginfo|The script for "Shore Leave" stated that {{dis|Finnegan|robot}} was "Dressed in Cadet's Uniform. Quite different from anything we've ever seen on the ''Enterprise''."}}

In the late 2250s, cadets assigned to starships wore standard duty uniforms. In place of the standard officer badge, a cadet badge was worn on the left breast indicating [[Starfleet Academy|Academy]] year, similar to those used in {{dis|Starfleet uniform|late 2230s-2250s|the previous uniform style}}. ({{SNW|Strange New Worlds}}) By the mid 2260s, cadets still wore the same badge but sported a unique uniform, consisting of a two-tone long sleeve top and black trousers and boots, with the shoulders and outer half of the sleeves colored to indicate division. ({{DIS|Through the Valley of Shadows}})

=== Lab coat ===
[[File:Mark Piper in lab coat.jpg|thumb|Dr. Mark Piper wearing a short-sleeved lab coat]]
A short-sleeved [[lab coat]] could be worn by the [[chief medical officer]] for consultations with patients. The coat was worn over the standard uniform, and was pale blue with the ship's decal on the upper breast. ({{TOS|Where No Man Has Gone Before}})
{{clear}}

=== Short-sleeved tunic ===
[[File:McCoy medical tunic.jpg|thumb|Dr. [[Leonard McCoy]] wearing a short-sleeved medical tunic]]
A short-sleeved "smock" tunic was often worn by medical personnel. It appears to have been made from a fabric similar to that of the jumpsuits and gave the user more free use of their hands, as well as being more hygienic than the standard long-sleeved tunic. ({{TOS|The Corbomite Maneuver|The Naked Time|Mudd's Women|The Changeling|Journey to Babel}})

{{bginfo|As scripted for "The Corbomite Maneuver", this uniform variant was instead to have been "a white smock".|It was later described as a "short-sleeved smock-type medical tunic." (''[[Star Trek: Costumes]]'', p. 37)}}

From 2259 to about 2265, flag officers wore blue-gray uniforms with golden epaulets. ({{SNW|Strange New Worlds}})

== Dress uniform ==
Starfleet [[dress uniform]]s of this period were typically worn for [[diplomatic]] or [[court]] functions.

=== Type A ===
[[File:Starfleet officer at Orion colony.jpg|thumb|A Starfleet officer in a dress jacket in 2254]]
In the early [[2250s]], a dress jacket, edged with gold trim, with matching epaulets, was worn over the standard issue uniform top and pants. ({{TOS|The Cage}})

{{bginfo|The only indication as to the intent of this uniform, as stated in the script of "The Cage", was that [[Illusion Starfleet officer 002|the man in question]] was "a uniformed space officer (not from the ''Enterprise'')."}}

=== Type C ===
A new version of the dress uniform was introduced in the mid-to-late 2260s. ({{TOS|Court Martial|The Savage Curtain}})

Dr. [[Leonard McCoy]] was not especially fond of the entire hoopla that went along with meeting dignitaries, including the "''dress uniforms, spit and polish,''" going on to describe his dress uniform's affect on him: "''I feel like my neck's in a {{dis|sling|medicine}}.''" Later, during the arrival of the [[Vulcan]] delegation, he asked Spock to review how to do a [[Vulcan salute]]; upon his attempt to replicate it, he said "''That hurts worse than the uniform.''" ({{TOS|Journey to Babel}})

Full dress uniform consisted of a tunic with a Nehru collar worn with standard pants and boots in the male version and a miniskirt with a back collar, similar to the standard skant uniform but with a longer skirt and gold piping along the collar, for the female version. Variations on each uniform's style depended upon rank:

* Lieutenant dress uniforms bore an assignment patch, with a thin gold piping around the collar (and running down the front of the high-collar version) and their rank stripes;
* Lieutenant commanders wore the tunic with similar piping, but [[decoration]]s were worn in lieu of the assignment patch and rank stripes for lieutenant commanders and above;
* Commanders had a much thicker braid around the collar;
* Captains had additional piping down their shoulder seams;
* Commodores and above had an additional gold piping running the length of their sleeve.

A [[kilt]] and [[sporran]] was also optional dress uniform attire. ({{TOS|The Savage Curtain}})

{{bginfo|According to actor [[James Doohan]], "''Actors can put a lot of things into a show. I remember, for instance, I suggested Scotty's dress uniform be a kilt. They immediately grabbed onto the idea. They sent to Scotland for the Scott tartan, which is one of the really old tartans. There are really only about four, and the {{w|Clan Scott|Scott family}} is one of the originals. They sent to San Francisco for some other stuff and had the uniform made and it look pretty good. It was only too bad they didn't have it earlier. There were other episodes when it might have been used.''" (''[[The World of Star Trek]]'', pp. 94-95)|Dress uniforms appeared in the [[TOS Season 1]] episodes {{e|Court Martial}}, {{e|The Menagerie, Part I}}, {{e|The Menagerie, Part II}}, and {{e|Space Seed}}, the [[TOS Season 2]] episode {{e|Journey to Babel}}, the [[TOS Season 3]] episodes {{e|Is There in Truth No Beauty?}} and {{e|The Savage Curtain}}, and the [[TAS Season 2]] episode {{e|The Counter-Clock Incident}}.}}

== Outerwear ==
=== Heavy jacket ===
<gallery>

A heavy [[jacket]], in blue-gray, was standard issue for landing parties during the early 2250s. A utility harness was worn underneath, and is where the individual's [[laser]] and [[communicator]] were held. ({{TOS|The Cage|The Menagerie, Part I|The Menagerie, Part II}})

{{bginfo|With regards to this attire, the script simply stated that the [[landing party]] prepared: "''Heavy [[boot]]s and jackets have been added to regular uniforms, and all are putting on Laser belts and holsters.''"|Each of the cuffs of these jackets were either adorned with a white stripe, a blue stripe, or no stripes. The white stripe was on jackets worn by officers and the [[chief petty officer]]; the blue stripe was worn by technicians (as indicated in the script); the yeoman wore no stripes.}}

A variation of this heavy excursion jacket remained in use on an individual basis as late as [[2266]]. It consisted of a black mock turtleneck with a ribbed collar and a blue-gray jacket with a split cowl collar. It was paired with black pants and black boots. An insignia was worn on the left breast. It also featured five [[brass]] or gold decorative studs on each shoulder. ({{DIS|Through the Valley of Shadows}})

=== Field jacket ===
This black or dark grey [[leather]] jacket, worn over the standard issue uniform, was used by landing parties during the late 2250s. It was often worn with a pair of black gloves. ({{SNW|Ghosts of Illyria}})

A hooded version of the jacket was also available. ({{SNW|Through the Lens of Time}})

=== Utility jumpsuit ===
In the mid-2250s, work coveralls, with assignment patch embroidered on the breast, were issued in all division related colors. Instead of the brighter colors of the duty uniform, they were in muted colors of olive (command), khaki (operations) and blue-gray (sciences). ({{TOS|The Cage}})

Later, everyday work jumpsuits were usually worn with no assignment or rank patches visible (even if the jumpsuit was worn by a senior officer). Duty jumpsuits came in a division color. Some versions had embroidered writing and insignia on the left breast. The jumpsuit had medium length sleeves and was worn open in the front, sealing at the waistline. A standard black undershirt was worn underneath, in contrast with jumpsuit uniforms of the previous style with division-colored undershirts. The jumpsuits came in red (operations), green or [[brown]] (command), and blue (sciences). ({{TOS|The Naked Time|The Enemy Within|Mudd's Women|Balance of Terror|Dagger of the Mind}})

When [[Technician]] {{dis|Fisher|Technician}} beamed aboard with an unknown [[magnet]]ic [[ore]] on his jumpsuit in 2266, he was instructed by [[Montgomery Scott]] to "''decontaminate that uniform.''" Later, while explaining a subsequent [[transporter malfunction]], Scott made note of said substance on Fisher's "suit". ({{TOS|The Enemy Within}})

Later that year, when the stowaway [[Simon Van Gelder]] was discovered aboard the {{USS|Enterprise|NCC-1701}}, wearing such a jumpsuit, it was simply stated that he was "''someone in engineering uniform.''" ({{e|Dagger of the Mind}})

Black uniforms with division-colored sleeveless undershirts were worn in combat situations, often under body armor. They were usually worn without armor by medical and science personnel during the [[Klingon War]]. ({{SNW|Under the Cloak of War|Hegemony}})

=== Body armor ===
Protective tactical gear with flashlights on the shoulders could be worn in combat situations over the uniform. It was mostly black, with a division-colored breastplate and worn over the black combat uniform. ({{SNW|Lost in Translation|Hegemony}}) Some personnel, like [[special operations]] officers, wore a version with a black breastplate instead. ({{SNW|Under the Cloak of War}})

=== Sportswear ===
Athletic wear was available for use during sporting or other leisure activities. Several varieties were issued, in various colors from black to red. ({{SNW|Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow|Charades}}; {{TOS|Charlie X}})

One set included red leggings, black socks, a tunic, and a belt. The belt was colored, possibly indicating a certain ranking within a sport. Another option was a red unitard. The assignment patch was placed on the left breast of the tunic, and on the left side of the leggings or unitard. ({{TOS|Charlie X}})

{{bginfo|The original belts, described as "a light-brown suede wrap-around belt via Velcro," were worn early in [[TOS Season 1]]. They were later replaced by what was described as "a wide black leather-type waistband." (''[[Star Trek: Costumes]]'', p. 24)}}

{{clear}}

=== Assignment patches ===
Starfleet personnel of this era wore an assignment patch on their left breast. These patches varied in design by the service person's posting. An icon representing the wearer's division or department was located in the center of many of these patches. ({{TOS|Charlie X|The Omega Glory|The Tholian Web}}; {{DS9|Trials and Tribble-ations}}; {{ENT|In A Mirror, Darkly|In A Mirror, Darkly, Part II}})

Until 2266, it was not uncommon to see personnel with a mismatched uniform color and assignment patch icon. The following uniform color / assignment patch icon combinations have been seen: command / operations, operations / sciences, sciences / operations, and sciences / command. In addition, security personnel circa 2254 wore blue uniforms with a unique insignia resembling a squared-off letter C. By 2265, this insignia was dropped in favor of the standard operations insignia. ({{TOS|The Cage|Where No Man Has Gone Before}})

{{bginfo|In 2018, costume replica company [[Anovos]] released a replica version of the above-mentioned "C" insignia patch as part of their first "Official Patch Collection", listing it as a "Cadet" insignia rather than for security.

{{bginfo|The above assignment patches were used by the crew of the ''Enterprise'' from 2266 to 2270, and are typical of the era's ship assignment patches. They depict the usual divisional insignia patches used on corresponding color uniforms, although these were absent from some other styles of patches.|Although the division symbols and colors were standardized by this period, Uhura is depicted wearing a sciences patch on her early command gold uniform in {{e|The Corbomite Maneuver}}. This is presumably a holdover from the mixed-division practice still in use as late as 2265.|Nurse Christine Chapel's unique patch was initially a sciences patch with a red cross painted or attached to it, as the circles of the sciences design were visible. ({{trekcore|s=tos|hd/albums/1x07hd/whatarelittlegirlsmadeofhd254.jpg|example}}) She later received an updated red cross patch. Furthermore, though labeled above as "medical", this patch was only seen worn by nurses during the series. ''{{el|startreknewvoyages.com/2012/05/31/the-big-bang-theorys-nurse-amy-farrah-fowler-ph-d/}}'' Other medical officers, such as Doctors Leonard McCoy and Joseph M'Benga, wore standard sciences division patches. The red cross patch was designed by [[Majel Barrett-Roddenberry]]. Relayed [[Richard Arnold]], "''[She] said that (as she remembered it) [[Gene Roddenberry|Gene]] [Roddenberry] asked her to come up with something special for her uniform as Christine Chapel &ndash; and that's what she came up with.''" ({{STC|151|75}})}}

{{clear}}}}

=== Rank insignia ===
Throughout this [[uniform]]'s use, [[rank]] was indicated by cuff [[stripe]]s of various styles. In the [[2250s]], enlisted personal had no rank stripes and all commissioned officers wore a single gold stripe. Chief petty officers wore a specially-patterned stripe. By [[2265]], the system remained unchanged, except that captains would wear two stripes. ({{TOS|The Cage|Where No One Has Gone Before}})

In the type B uniform style, the cuff stripes generally matched the division color &ndash; gold stripes for command division [[officer]]s, red stripes for operations division officers, and blue stripes for sciences division officers. [[Medical officer]]s' ranks were indicated by {{dis|silver|color}} stripes. In this system, each rank had its own insignia instead of one for all commissioned officers.

{{bginfo|The cuff [[braid]]s were reminiscent of the "scrambled eggs" used by modern, real-life military uniforms.

=== Epaulet ===

=== Background information ===
In the [[Star Trek is...|original pitch]] for the series, [[Gene Roddenberry]] generalized the uniform design, stating "Crew uniforms are '[[navy|naval]]' in general appearance, attractively simplified and utilitarian. Again, surprise variations are possible here too."

The Starfleet uniforms worn during {{s|TOS}} were designed by [[William Ware Theiss]], who returned to design the {{s|TNG}} uniforms (which were further adapted into future versions on {{s|DS9}}, {{s|VOY}}, and in the TNG-era films by [[Robert Blackman]]).

The "Type A" uniform was in use only for the two ''[[Star Trek]]'' pilots, with the tunics appearing in several later episodes ([[#appearances|see above]]) and the matched pants having been worn by extras in several early [[TOS Season 1|first season]] episodes, with the new updated tunics.

Although the "Type C" command division uniform tunics looked gold on most color TV sets, the costumes were actually lime-green. {{el|startrekpropauthority.blogspot.com/2008/05/bill-theiss-lost-interview-rare.html}} This issue was made light of in an [[in-joke]] from the first draft script of {{DS9|Trials and Tribble-ations}}, in which [[Department of Temporal Investigations]] agents [[Dulmur]] and [[Lucsly]] &ndash; just prior to leaving [[space station]] [[Deep Space 9]] &ndash; asked [[Benjamin Sisko]] one final question: what color had Kirk's uniform been. Sisko, having seen Kirk in both a duty uniform and wraparound tunic, simply answered, "''Green.''" The greenish hue of the command tunics can be seen more clearly in the third season, when the fabric used for the tunics was changed from [[satin]] velour to a double-knit fabric that reflected the set lighting differently. The dress uniforms, made of a silk material, were always clearly green by comparison, and some darker green jumpsuits and wraparound tunics that were more clearly seen seemed to confirm that all the "gold-to-green" variations were part of the same color scheme. The so-called "beige" Type A uniforms which originated with {{e|The Cage}} were ironically a much more yellow color, but likewise appeared beige or pinkish under the lights.

The Type C first appeared in {{e|The Corbomite Maneuver}}. Chronologically, the Type C uniforms first appeared in late [[2265]] in the flashback scenes in {{e|Dagger of the Mind}} and the recording of Dr. Leonard McCoy's visit to [[Capella IV]] in {{e|Friday's Child}}.

With a few exceptions, all women in the Type C uniforms wore the skirt variant. One uniform seen on extras in [[TOS Season 1]] was a woman's gold command uniform with pants. It was created for a scene in {{e|Charlie X}} where a pretty crewwoman was transformed into an old hag, who might not have looked appropriate in a skirt uniform. It also made an appearance in {{e|The Man Trap}}. In regards to the collars on female uniforms, blue-collared uniforms were seen in TOS and TAS on Nurse Chapel, and red-collared uniforms were seen in TAS. Female gold command uniforms were rare on both series and were never seen with colored collars.

This uniform style was last seen in {{TAS|The Counter-Clock Incident}}, although it was later recreated for {{DS9|Trials and Tribble-ations}} and {{ENT|In A Mirror, Darkly}}.

=== Apocrypha ===
[[File:Engineering uniform - Crew 5.jpg|thumb|left|Engineering officers in the 2250s (''Crew'')]]
[[File:Early Voyages Female Uniform.jpg|thumb|Female officer dress (''Early Voyages'')]]
In the [[IDW]] comic series ''[[Star Trek: Crew]]'', engineering officers were depicted as wearing a Type A red uniform, with a red collar, alongside the beige uniforms as depicted in "The Cage" and "Where No Man Has Gone Before". In particular, these uniforms were depicted as only being worn in engineering, rather than elsewhere on the ''Enterprise'', suggesting that since the engineering section of the ''Enterprise'' was never depicted during this era of TOS, such uniforms could have actually existed side-by-side with the beige Operations uniforms, thereby continuing the red division color established in ''Enterprise''.

In the [[Marvel Comics]] series ''[[Star Trek: Early Voyages]]'', an alternate Type A female duty uniform was depicted as a short dress with a high-necked collar, similar to the variant worn by Nurse Chapel during the late [[2260s]].

[[File:Starfleet uniforms in the late 2230s, Countdown to Darkness.jpg|left|thumb|Starfleet officers in the late 2230s]]
The [[alternate reality]] {{alt|Starfleet uniform}} introduced in {{film|11}} were based on the Type C design, though the timeframe of that film, and its sequels, has them in use when the {{dis|Starfleet uniform|late 2230s-2250s|previous uniform design}} and the Type A were being used. ''[[Star Trek: Countdown to Darkness]]'', [[Countdown to Darkness, Issue 2|Issue 2]] depicts the alternate reality version of this uniform already in use by [[2239]], suggesting that in the alternate reality the previous uniform and Type A were never adopted at all, unless they were used briefly after [[2233]].
