Off the top of my head. Say there are five new members. Planet A’s uniform is worn for half a year, then the Bs get a turn, and so on and so on…
Remember the argument the creators had about giving Patrick Stewart a wig? One said said that in the future there’d be a cure for baldness, and the other side felt that in the future people wouldn’t care about baldness.
The new races would see that it was a symbolic thing. Kind of like teams wearing pink to support breast cancer awareness.
This is my head canon.
When a new race/planet joins the Federation, they get to design the new uniforms. Troi’s people were responsible for the TOS miniskirts.
What a fun explanation. I love this.
Cadet: Wait, there’s no laundry on the ship?
Ensign: Nope. We just wear a few uniforms in rotation then toss them all into the replicator when the new ones come out.
Interesting theory, but the logistics of such a thing are a little crazy. What happens if multiple species joins in the same year?
