So, how long until we get this uniform?

I just stumbled on this and came to the forums to see if anyone else had posted about it. After looking around a bit and seeing nothing when doing a search, I figured I'd post this.
A Close-Up Look At ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Uniforms
It looks like all the details are there for the Cryptic art department to be able to do a nice in-game version. Although, I'd be surprised if they don't have this kind of stuff available to them directly from the production itself and not a third party.
Anyway, just thought I'd post this and let everyone voice their opinions.

As for whether we get it, Discovery is under CBS so it should fall under Cryptic's existing licensing. No issue there. I'm pretty sure they've also expressed intent to tie into Discovery in some way (just makes good business sense to cross promote). Only problem I can see is that I don't think uniforms sell super well in the C-Store, which is why we don't see more of them. I have personally bought most of what's available, but I guess I'm weird.
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

Not that it matters to me, I don't really feel like walking around wearing a million combadges.
The Excelsior has been in the game since launch though.

I like the Excelsior, but not the ship they have in this new series.
Wasn't this the uniform for Starfleet ten (my bad ... eleven) years prior to Kirk's Enterprise? (TOS - The Cage)
Did Starfleet change the uniform ... decide ... 'TRIBBLE this, we're not paying for the fabric' then change back?
The Excelsior is objectively and scientifically the most hideous ship ever attached to the name Star Trek.
You've seen Generations? Starfleet phases in uniforms. The Discovery and Shinzou are older than the Enterprise and may have just returned from a five year mission and like Voyager they didn't want to waste energy replicating the latest uniforms instead waiting until they get back home.
We also see the Cage a few times in TOS after the change to the new style showing some crews are slower on the uptake than others.

You sure you don't mean the one in the new series?
Also I just noticed looking at that infographic that there's a wrecked NX-class in it just above and to the left of the Phase II ship. Neat.
You misspelled Yeager.

Oh it's not personal. It's science. Both CERN and NASA agree, they did a study, Excelsior=Most hideous ship ever to cross the screens in a Star Trek production.
There's no retconning. Several crews in TOS used the delta and not just the Enterprise. As did Friendship One, Earth Starfleet, the Franklin, the Kelvin, and every member of Starfleet in the KT. IT's always been the general Starfleet emblem. A stylised version is found on the hull and nacelles of all Starfleet ships (in yellow in front of the red lines).
Yes there was a spelling mistake, I wrote 'Excelsior' when I meant 'stupid-fat-accordion-necked-over-balanced-saucer-barely-attached-nacelles-McStupidface'.

I can see Cryptic being allowed to do some kind of giveaway event thing or something to celebrate the launch of Discovery.
It did, photobucket recently started disallowing hotlinking to images without a paid account. I had to rehost my sig on my own website, dracounguis will need to look into something too.

The badge doubling as rank pips. To a set and costume designer it probably sounds great. One prop you will barely see instead of several. From someone in the military. That is bloody hard to see and only works from the front? Not so good. Sleeve like ToS or Shoulder like Ent is better. Using the metallic portions of the uniform to denote branch? nice and keeps the uniform yet colour code. So brilliant there.
So the basic look seems to be all over the map. I suppose the next question is did they get the suits both easily cleanable and comfortable to wear for extended periods? Because that was an issue with early TNG uniforms. If not you will see a mid season or series uniform change to fix those issues.

They are taking needless and big risks changing the look so vastly. There WAS a way to update the Cage era to make sense with modern effects and materials whilst honoring it- and it would have been far more clever and far more engaging.
Spock in the cage used motion sensitive screens to direct information on a screen in front of his console. This is technology we have only experimented with today!
You've never been in any uniformed service in your life, right?
I actually like those uniforms, especially the tactical one. Not a big fan of tight uniforms, but after the ridiculous uniforms in TOS, Motion Picture, 1st Season TNG, DS9.... well, actually, every uniform other than TWOK and Enterprise, i think we can appreciate these.
yeah, putting stuff on imgur now. stupid photobucket wants $60 a month for linking things!
I don't even have sigs turned on. some people's are way too huge. I'd never have noticed w/o someone saying.
May try that too.
Jon's Post, supplemental: Almost forgot about the one exception - a US Navy Chief Petty Officer or higher in the beige office uniform (can't remember what they called it). They have a collar device that only senior enlisted and admirals get to wear, though.
