Please explain why the star trek uniforms changed color as they did..?
First Kirk and the MP's had the yellow/orange, but then NG changed it to where the captaim had the red that like scotty had. Please break this down, Or is it just cosmetic????
Answers:
In the old show, gold was command (Pike, Kirk); blue was science/medical (Spock, McCoy); red was ops, like communications (Uhura), engineering (Scotty), and security (all the dead Red Shirts). (Rank was shown by the gold bands/dashes on the shirt cuffs).
In the new show, it evolved to red for command/deck officers, and blue (Crusher) still medical; gold for tactical (Worf) and engineering (LaForge).
