20 Things You Didn't Know About Star Trek Generations

Fans often question why the Starfleet crew throughout the film are wearing combinations of costumes from The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine, with seemingly no explanation or even basic consistency whatsoever.

The reason for this is that new uniforms had actually been designed for the Enterprise-D's crew, which would've included minor military-style variations on The Next Generation's uniforms, including coloured collars matching the rest of the outfit, rank pips on the shoulder, and rank braiding along the wrist.

Ultimately producer Rick Berman wasn't a fan, and so all the changes were scrapped save for a new angular comms badge design.

This decision occurred late enough in production that Jonathan Frakes and Levar Burton were forced to borrow costumes from Deep Space Nine's Avery Brooks and Colm Meaney, which naturally didn't fit so well.

Though there sadly aren't any surviving images of the planned new uniforms, the call was made too late to prevent a series of Playmates action figures based on the designs being produced and released.
