re: the first season uniforms, I think it’s a hark back to the early complaints that the OS uniforms didn’t look “futuristic” enough. As the OS costume designer once said: “We talked to NASA about what people would wear in the future and it always sounded like long underwear”.
It’s probably also why they tried the shorts on men in the first season, to respond to complaints that the miniskirts in the OS were sexist in that there was no male equivalent.
Ah, yes, the so-called “space cheerleader” uniform (as described by Marina Sirtis). Personally, I thought they were kinda hokey (translation – looked stupid on men), and quite unnecessary.
