   The issue I would take with that is that, despite there being a *lot*   
   of wardrobe changes over the years (and even just in TOS if you look   
   at how Shatner’s vanity had him in at least half a dozen different   
   shirts), I have never heard of any reasonable in-universe explanation   
   why Star Fleet keeps deciding to re-tailor their standard uniforms so   
   often.  If there were ever a topic in the Star Trek universe to bring   
   in . . . . stereotypical token “diversity”, that would be it.  Tell   
   *that* story; it’d be a fun watch!
