Who has the best uniforms?
Who do you guys think have the snappiest looking uniforms in scifi?
BSG Uniforms are quite logical looking. Somewhat futuristic, but also a sense of connection with modern uniforms.
The TOS movie era uniforms had a very futurstic, but still militaristic and good look to them.

Peacekeepers, because it's..um awsome. As for practical/realistic looking, yeah BSG.

UNSC uniforms are pretty practical looking, a sort of cross between BSG garb and late-style Federation.
As for cool-looking, Peacekeeper, Luxan, and Cardassian are all fairly impressive.

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

Late DS9, with the colored tunic and grey overcoat. The red TOS movie uniforms were also cool.
My favorite though has to be the Stargate SG-1 uniforms, because they actually look comfortable and practical at the same time.

Outside of the dress uniforms, the B5 ones are pretty cool. I especially like the security greys.

Earth Alliance's uniforms looked pretty snazzy, with the blue uniform and the leather patch right there. That gives it an original feel. nBSG has a good array of realistic-ish uniforms that you'd expect in a near-future kind of civilization.
Though I absolutely adore imperial officer caps. The one swith the little bump? Or whatever that is? Those are neat.

The latter DS9 uniforms looked nice and spiffy. So they're my pick.

You know, I'm going with the uniforms of the Jupiter Mining Corporation from the first two seasons of Red Dwarf. Those are probably among the most realistic, and definately comfortable, uniforms that I've seen.

Honestly I think the nBSG uniforms are best followed by a 3 way tie of the ST2-6 uniforms the late DS9 uniforms and the ENT uniforms.
Why Ent you ask? Simple, Utility. The flight suits that they wear fits with the feel of ths series. This doesn't even get into the shear number of pockets that they have.

Imperial Stormtrooper uniforms are very nice. As for actual combat garb though, the Colonial Marines (Aliens) get my vote.
