I don't know the argo vehicle kinda makes sense

God, those uniforms really were awful. What were they thinking?

They're just about the only thing I can think of that's worse than the 1st season TNG uniforms, except maybe Space 1999.

[Sionnach Glic]

Personally I'd rate even 1st series TNG's uniforms above TMP's.

And this gives me an idea for a thread.

Even the man-minis?

I dunno, they're sort of ridiculous but I can actually ignore them. I find the lack of pockets to be much more of an issue.

Well...maybe tied for worst place.

At least the skirts were limited to a fraction of the crew. The pyjamas were inflicted on everyone.

[Tyyr]

Seriously, who did those poor schmucks piss off to be stuck in the mani-skirts?

[Captain Seafort]

Gene, probably.

Why is it a skirt unless a Scotsman wears it?

[Captain Seafort]

Who ever said they were making an exception for the Jocks?

Why is it a skirt unless a Scotsman wears it?

Who else can provide evidence of a tradition of man-skirts?

I want to call them Mirks now...

Depending on your deffinition of skirt, quite a few cultures out there could qualify.

I think Nutso's question referred to Western/caucasian cultures.

*EDIT* though I do have a question for you, SG: It is common practice around here for members of pipe-and-drum bands from the Ancient Order of Hibernians and various emerald societies, police bands, and other Irish-American organizations to wear kilts, usually without sporrans but with boots and gaiters, sweaters or dinner jackets, and often a bearskin but never a scotch bonnet. Are kilts traditional to Ireland as well as to Scotland?

[Sionnach Glic]

There's nothing to really suggest that the kilt was used widely by the Irish prior to the English conquest of the island, with the exception of perhaps a few small places in the north-east where trade with Scottland may have been taking place. There's a misconception among some that the Irish did wear kilts, but that's based on them mistaking depictions of leinte (a type of tunic) for a kilt.

Some Irish regiments in the British Army began using kilts during the 18th/19th centuries, and certain nationalist groups began trying to promote its use amongst the populace during the late 19th/early 20th centuries. I'd imagine that the use of kilts amongst the Irish communities in the US stemmed from its promotion by these groups.
