uniform switch

about which season did ds9 switch to the different uniform?

Mid season 5, I believe. Around the same time First Contact aired.

Season 4 or 5. Ish. I think 4.

At the end of season 4 their uniforms were still of the same style as when the series began. Sometime in season 5 sounds right. They definitely had the new uniforms before the Dominion War started.

lol....good to know the Star Trek budget is still flying high. I never actually saw the uniform switch. Was it actually part of an episode or did they just appear in the new outfits?

Lindley · **Sat Apr 24, 2004 2:01 pm**

I think they might have mentioned the switch briefly, but the only time I recall it being a major plot-point was in "By Inferno's Light", when Worf and Garak are in the Jem'Hadar prison, and they find Dr. Bashir......in the old uniform.

Meaning that he's been replaced by a Changeling for several episodes, at least.

idk when they switched, but i definently think that the new uniforms are a lot nicer than the old ones.

How can they juist change the uniform ?

did they give a reason or like suddenly one day they wake up and say "oh i see the federation is trying to be more colorful this time"

Robsladey · **Thu Apr 29, 2004 1:23 pm**

I hardly think grey is "more colourful"

they never gave a reason, but maybe they wanted to distinguish DS9 to VOY, cos they aired the same time.

I don't quite remember when, but after Bashir was captured by the Dominion, before he was rescued. at the that time, the founder impersonator had the new uniforming, while real Bashir still had his own, therefore Bashir was captured before Uniform change, this may help narrow doen.

yeah, I just watched that episode a few days ago! I saw this myself also and was just about to mention it

In the episode where Sisko has an Orb Shadow (or whatever it was called), he's being examined by Bashir. The good doctor asks Sisko if "my uniform seems any brighter." This was a tongue in cheek way of acknowledging the uniform change. I can't remember the name of the episode, but it was the one where Sisko finds B'Hala, the anicient Bajoran city.

It's called "Rapture" . It's a great episode

yep! That's the one! it is a good episode, yeah. he almost had the secrets of the universe...then someone woke him up. That was funny.

Speaking of the changeling Bashir, I heard in one episode he did surgery on Dax to save the symbiont. But at that time he was the Changeling. Is this true or not?

when first contanct was made

I know this isnt the same series but why didn't VOY ever change uniforms? That always annoyed me.

Thomas · **Sun Jul 11, 2004 4:06 am**

Pfffft. What a waste of resources that would've been.

gul Lemek III. · **Mon Jul 12, 2004 7:16 am**

Yeah

.Why would they need o change uniforms in the middle of nowhere?

Founder · **Mon Jul 12, 2004 10:36 am**

Why do they need to do most of the stuff they do in the middle of nowhere? You all make valid points, I just think it the crew would have looked cooler in the newer uniforms. Also it would be nice for continuity issues.

gul Lemek III. · **Tue Jul 13, 2004 1:54 am**

That's true, the new uniforms look alot cooler. At least they don't look like pyjamas anymore

When they changed the uniformes, the original DS9 ones went over to the Voyager set where they were sorely needed. So there's probably some extra in Voyager who's wearing Captain Sisko's uniform!
