I used to prefer Kirk in that admiral outfit but now I think I'd rather his captain's getup - more appropriate. (Of course, I wouldn't say no to both!)
Oh yes.
I meant that the colours were big and bold at a time when most of the potential viewers would've owned a black and white television. It would be a matter of distinguishing shades, and knowing how they should look from colour photographs.
When all viewers have access to colour (if they're physically able to perceive colours, of course), the choices can be more subtle.
When Star Trek came to the big screen in colour the uniforms were more pastel and less striking. The service branch is just a tiny colour behind the badge, rather than a whole shirt as in TOS.
Then from Wrath of Khan onwards, while the uniforms become more vibrant, some of the branch colours are quite similar. In black and white Command, Science and Communications would likely be hard to distinguish.
Avoiding the word "g*y" I'd rather say that the costumes look kind of feminine to me, yes I am talking about the men's uniforms. The bald girl's "tunic" is good enough for me.
About TMP, was it just medical that got the disco collars with the plunging neckline?
Yeah medical was the only department who got the Saturday Night Fever collars, with McCoy going full tilt with revealing chest hair and a huge metal medallion on gold chain around his neck. He was ready to Boogie. Catch you on the Flip-Side!

DiFalco was ops and also had a collar.
You're right. I stand corrected. I don't think there will be many collectors interested in the big collar variants. I'd be happy with just a TMP Admiral Kirk and Spock. Just a nod to that movie to have a complete line from all iterations of Trek in sixth scale.
