[edit] Uniform use on Voyager
There probably ought to be some comment about how the USS Voyager continued to use the colorful jumpsuits until its return to Earth, but that Alpha Quadrant Federation personnel seen on Star Trek: Voyager after 2373 were seen to wear the black-and-gray uniforms. I can't quite figure out how best to fit that information in, though. (Plus, I can't recall the first appearance of the black-and-gray uniforms on Voyager.) -- Josiah Rowe 09:15, 9 Feb 2005 (CET)

The first black/grey color uniforms was likely in "Message in a Bottle" and, um, isn't 20 edits in one night is getting to be a bit excessive? --Gvsualan 09:57, 9 Feb 2005 (CET)

Although it doesn't mention Voyager specifically, I found this at http://www.scififorum.org/dreamer/forums/showthread.php?p=6667

Red is Command... (Captain, First Officer, Helm - the main control of the ship) - Red is also the main colour for other line officers, Admirals (even the Admirals in charge of Security and Science, Fleet Captains, Commodores, etc - but they have different insignia to differentiate)...
Gold/Yellow is Operations... (Operations Manager - next to Helm - Security, Engeneering, all vital areas of operations for a starship, starport, etc)
Blue is Science... (Sickbay, Medical Science, Cousellors, other sciences - except engineering science - etc.)

In the Original Series:
Gold/Yellow is Command
is Security
Blue is Science

hen there's this at http://en.allexperts.com/q/Star-Trek-Voyager-1186/Voyager-TV.htm

in Star Trek, the colors of the uniforms represent an officer's function. So, the red uniforms are worn by officers who are on the command track, meaning they are the Commanders, Captains, Admirals, etc. (Picard, Sisko, and Janeway all wore red uniforms).

The gold uniforms are worn by officers who are Engineers, Operations, or Security officers (LaForge, O'Brien, and Torres all wore gold as did Worf and Tuvok who were Security chiefs); their primary concerns are internal (keeping systems running and keeping the crew safe).

The blue/teal uniforms are worn by Science officers, including the medical staff (doctors and psychologists). So, this includes science officers like Spock and Jadzia Dax, doctors like McCoy, Crusher, Bashir, and the EMH, and counselors like Troi and Ezri Dax.

In TOS (the original series) and Enterprise, the colors were a little different. The command officers wore gold (Captains Archer and Kirk) and the engineering/security officers wore red (Trip Tucker and Scotty were Chief Engineers).

Officers can also change their function. For instance, when Worf was on the Enterprise, he was the security/tactical officer, hence he wore a gold uniform. However, when he transferred to Deep Space Nine, he wore a red uniform signifying that he changed to a command position on the station (he was the Strategic Operations officer and 2nd in command of the Defiant).

The American Baseball Uniforms

You have to hand it to the Dodgers, the Yankees, the Red Sox, the White Sox, the Cardinals, the Tigers, and the other teams who have retained or gone back to their traditional look.

Something happens inside anyone who puts on a baseball uniform. No matter your age, you feel youthful. No matter your vocation, you become a competitor. No matter your talent, you feel as if just wearing that uniform will allow you to go beyond the status quo and transform to a spiritual awareness that is simple and authentic.

You can win. You are donned in the garb of the greatest pastime on the planet. A sport fueled by the drive and hunger and determination that is at the heart of every American, those qualities that identify this great country and all that it stands for: autonomy, success, liberty and independence. Few other sports are characterized by how they stress the skill of the individual player.

It is team, but it is solo. Only you are at bat. Only you can hit the ball and make a play happen. You have your number. It is your uniform. You make the play. By far the most absorbing aspect of baseball uniforms as this great American past time has evolved is the socks. Each team's identity was distinguished by the stocking colors, and the names customarily followed suit.

Emblems on the socks were an additional symbol, but were not important as they are today. The press was the source responsible for the use of nicknames for the different ball clubs, and they were consistently inconsistent. In 1901, the Detroit Tigers established the first constant display of an emblem by placing a small red tiger on the black, wool caps that spurted a tendency of fans wanting to acquire a authentic Tiger cap, a passion that lives on even today!

Try to deal with a manufacturer. They should use the same American made fabric, Visa polyester, which is worn at the major league level. They should cut and sew all of their own lettering and numbering in-house. Their customization should truly define their quality. You'll have that new look year after year. They should guarantee the craftsmanship on all of their products.

A question to ponder-Why do high school, college, and pro baseball coaches have to wear baseball uniforms to coach when their counterparts in football, basketball, hockey, track, etc. don't have to wear their particular sport's uniform?
