Starfleet uniform (29th century)

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.

The standard duty uniforms worn by Starfleet personnel during the 29th century reflected the template of previous generations, but displayed advances in style and a shift in division color-coding.

Adopted sometime during the 29th century, the standard duty uniform worn aboard such Starfleet starships and timeships as the USS Relativity appeared very similar to those in service during the 24th century. Consisting of a single-piece black jumpsuit, the duty uniform featured a high, mandarin collar displaying rank insignia with a Starfleet insignia/communicator badge worn on the left breast.

The uniform was distinguished by a prominent swath of division color extending diagonally from the left side of the collar down the right sleeve. This swath consisted of a quilted or patterned material and, as in the past, was coded in at least three division colors denoting department of service:

The yoke of the uniform featured a small strip of division color extending from the right side and coming to a point on the left shoulder. The right side featured an identical strip in black. The collar of all three divisions was trimmed in white. (VOY: "Future's End", "Relativity")

The "future" Starfleet uniform was designed by Robert Blackman, reflecting the designs of William Ware Theiss from The Original Series and Star Trek: The Next Generation. It made its first appearance during the episode "Future's End" though differed slightly from its more prominent appearances in "Relativity". The uniform worn by Captain Braxton in "Future's End" featured a slightly different collar (dipping to the left) and was brighter-blue. The jumpsuit portion may have also been red or burgundy in color, though the black may have been affected by the interior lighting of the Aeon. Division colors are inferred from on screen evidence, not from dialog.

Only three rank insignia types were observed in the episode "Relativity". More are likely to exist, but they remain conjectural.
