I assume we will start seeing more 32nd century goodies rolling out soon...
These uniforms, the great white shark hand phasers and that new constitution? Maybe even a flying rainforest?
A note: Please make the Shark Phaser have two modes. Fire mode 1, a phaser pulse but fire mode 2 a blue cutting beam, like the one Michael used to set the fire suppression system off on the Discovery.

Spock to Kirk, as Kirk is about to hug him.
Star Trek V: "The Final Frontier"
I only call it that cause that's what Owosekun called it when she saw it but it was off screen, I believe it's the Armstrong? https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Armstrong_type_(31st_century)
True, the new colors vs. gray could be divisional, though they could also just be a "new" uniform to signify the start of the Federation reboot and the gray ones a sort of "widows weeds" version from the "death" of the Federation from the Burn.
The colored ones are definitely not the class B equivalent of the gray ones, they are both equally very stiff formal jacketed uniforms roughly equivalent to class A uniforms but without the visible decorations (though that could just be a "hide" function and a switch in one of the hard pieces could project the equivalent of ribbons and medals onto its surface or something similar easily enough). They are definitely not designed as a practical working uniform though they are apparently used as such on the show.
In contrast, the TOS uniforms were designed as comfortable work uniforms (the costumes themselves actually were not comfortable, the cheap velour they had to use was very hot and scratchy on set, but the idea was there) with several options available.
According to "behind the scenes" information the idea with the velour was that the fictional fabric of the uniform was "smart" enough to maintain a comfortable temperature by fluffing up the knap (similar to the way a cat stays warm buy puffing up their fur in the cold), and in the uniform overall by using static electricity in the environment along with built in electrical generation to advantage in heating and cooling in more extreme environments (which is one of the reasons why Sulu and the landing party did not freeze solid before blankets could be beamed down to them in The Enemy Within).
Comfort was also the reason for the raglan sleeves, they are far less prone to the binding which causes fatigue and irritation in some clothing like the jackets the DSC season 3 and season 4 designs have.
The sad part is that it really isn't any more advanced except for a few gee-wiz toys like the transporter badge and idiotic looking lack of struts and necks on ships and maybe a few other small things. The ex-empress was even able to tie one of the "advanced" computer systems in knots with a simple blinking trick and Discovery did just fine before its refit. Apparently all the wondrous things Daniels hinted at were lost in the long dark age of the Burn or something.
I'm just surprised that the UEDF didn't recognize that the tech and unforms were "backwards", being from the 23rd Century. They actually bought Saru's story. I think the only time someone actually noticed was when Book called Burnham's phaser an antique.
That may make sense for ships but not uniforms, fashion is something else entirely, whose to say that these 32nd century uniforms weren't inspired by someone wearing something similar in the 25th century.
I agree. they all look like maternity clothes
Not likely with the amount of time involved. In TNG they changed uniforms several times in seven seasons, so fashion would have cycled thousands of times by then.
how they went from the awesome uss relativity or the enterprise J to this ill never know if anything the 31th cent seems far less advanced then what we saw before
not to mention the concept of banning time travel just don't work if you don't have a temporal agency you'd be erased the moment someone decides to mess with time real big brain move there starfleet :P
As those are the same style, just different colors... you'll get your wish when they make it in game.
*cough*TMP Uniforms*cough*
Correction it's the 32nd century, Time travel was pretty common place in the 31st century, I agree that the time travel ban was stupid, plus the fact they couldn't even enforce it due to the burn, whose to say that the Time Travel ban wasn't invented by a future version of the Temporal Liberation Front as a final F U.
It was in some of Daniel's throwaway dialog in ENT if I recall correctly, and if so it is canon. There was no detail to the reference though so it is not even certain if the Suliban's temporal sponsor was a part of it or whether it was some other group.
As for the Tholians, I always wonder if they wanted the ban for reasons of their own so I don't really trust their motives on the subject.
#LegalizeAwoo
A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."
"We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
Still I can’t help but shake my head. The entire cut of those uniforms seems to be aiming at hiding body shapes (oh and gender) as best as possible.
Loosing weight is clearly not an option in this time and age anymore.

I think that's a plus. I really don't like that women are always forced into tight uniforms, I'd be so afraid to put on the slightest bit of healthy weight because I couldn't wear my uniforms any more

> then so be it - no uniforms are to be worn by women henceforth...

I think we found the Ferengi.
Still getting back to the topic, I'd welcome the 32nd Uniforms in CSTORE.
Now for STO that is a problem. They now have to write the shows stuff that is all either in the games' past or future into it's present, including ships, outfits and characters. That's just bound to be difficult.

The shoulderpads and the not-fitting jacket do seem to scream androgynous if not vaguely masculine. I'd imagine it is a way to keep the tailoring/costume costs down, though.
