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

Re: I don't know the argo vehicle kinda makes sense
Personally I'd rate even 1st series TNG's uniforms above TMP's.
And this gives me an idea for a thread.

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.

At least the skirts were limited to a fraction of the crew. The pyjamas were inflicted on everyone.Sionnach Glic wrote:Well...maybe tied for worst place.Mikey wrote:Even the man-minis?Sionnach Glic wrote:Personally I'd rate even 1st series TNG's uniforms above TMP's.

Why is it a skirt unless a Scotsman wears it?

Depending on your deffinition of skirt, quite a few cultures out there could qualify.Mikey wrote:Who else can provide evidence of a tradition of man-skirts?Nutso wrote:Why is it a skirt unless a Scotsman wears it?

Re: I don't know the argo vehicle kinda makes sense
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?

Re: I don't know the argo vehicle kinda makes sense
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.
