    Best/Worst Sci Fi Uniforms?

    I'm stuck on a piece, want some input, I have the list done but I want to see if I've missed anything glaring. Here is where I'm at:

    Worst:
    Star Trek Movie (PJs!)
    Space:1999

    Best:
    Star Trek TOS (those boots kick ***)
    BSG (modern)

    Hmmmm

    Worst:
    Stormtrooper (it would be like a knight wearing his armour 24-7)
    Trek RED movie uniforms (too hot, tight and stuffy for everyday use)
    Buck Rogers - Draconian helmets (too big and wide)
    Star Trek Classic female uniforms (are extremely cute and sexy, but in real life they would make for a very bad uniform off of the ship)


    Best:
    Lost In Space v-neck uniforms (season-3)
    Star Trek Classic male uniforms
    Land of the Giants crew uniforms
    Forbidden Planet uniforms
    Space 1999 uniforms

      Worst:

      Space:1999 (dated-loking & unrealistic I know; but thought out and functional)

      Star Trek Movie (TMP)

      Star Trek (2009) Take a simple idea and make it tedious.

      ST - TNG (1st season only - 1 piece, form fitting, no neck, Devo-like look)

      V (original) everyone dressed like Michael Jackson's Thriller video. Nice on the ladies tho.

      U.F.O.

      Lost In Space (original - silver outfits look unrealistic. Casual attire - surrealistic)

      Babylon 5

      Planet Earth, ( Earth II? w/John Saxon)


      Best:

      Logan's Run

      Planet of the Apes (original)

      Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea

      Buck Rogers in the 25th Century

      Star Trek II - TWOK

      Star Trek - DS9 ( introduction of the all black w/color on shoulders)

      Star Trek First Contact (introduction of the grey shoulders w/color necks)

      BSG (original)

      U.N.I.T. (Doctor Who-Pertwee Years)

      Star Blazers, ( Space Battleship Yamato)

        This is by far the worst outfit

          Best...

          Star Trek Original
          Space:1999 (These really grew on me, but I didn't originally like them. Not sure if that counts.)
          Planet of the Apes
          Logan's Run
          Planet of the Vampires!

          Worst...
          V (Something about those red outfits didn't age well.)
          Star Trek movie red outfits, yuck!
          Twilight Zone (The combination of Captain Video cast-offs and actual flight suits sometimes strains the credibility of the episode.)

              The Kandy Man from Dr. Who

                Zardoz definitely wins the razzie, but this one is brutal also in my opinion.

                  Yeah the SkyDiver Uniforms are on my list, they look like they just went clubbing.

                    Worst: TMP and TNG season one immediately spring to mind.

                    The dress uniforms on TNG always bugged me. Let's put on our dress and go to a state dinner.

                    Troi's clothes never seemed to flatter Sirtis well. Her later season uniform looked much better on her.

                    For best, I'm a fan of classic Trek and post TWOK films.

                    Those Imperial Guards from ROTJ are crazy cool looking.

                    I like the Kryptonian robes from Superman: The Movie. The 3M Scotchlite material worked well to make them feel alien and almost omnipotent.

                        I think it is and I think they changed it later in the season not to be.

                            The original "Planet of the Apes" film, set a new standard in costume design, and in my opinion, still has never been touched... Don't know if it ever will.
