PhaseII stuff...if your bored!?

Bored and stuck at home, so I've been pokin' round the ol' interweeb....Came across the Christies Trek auction listings from a couple years ago. Discovered lots of cool pics of prototype and finished costumes for the Phase II series. .....At least I thought they were cool......?

While i'm not a big fan of these uniforms, I still like them a lot better then the ones used in TMP.

TMP uniforms were way too current looking ... Current meaning the general 70's futuristic style.

BTW, did any Trek computer geeks ever make a Phase-11 Enterprise CGI shot -- perhaps in flight.

That would be neat to see.

I wonder if these are mostly still in their construction stages, and would have featured black collars/etc when/if completed? Since duplicate original series uniforms were fully constructed, I have the feeling they decided to go with exact original series uniforms....still these other suits exist....interesting stuff. Any one notice the new belly shirt design with the black collar and no emblem.buckle piece coming around the bottom?

I have a book that was out a few years ago that has pictures and synopsis of the the first 13 stories that were plotted. I think the screen tests for Xon and Ilia used the original black collar uniforms. The engine room set looked like TNG's engine room more so that the movie set for the refit Enterprise. When this was going to be a series, Decker and Ilia didn't merge with V'ger at the end of the first story and became regular cast members. Xon was the Spock replacement when Nimoy didn't want to return. The actor who was to play Xon plays the commander who dies with Epsilon station at the beginning of TMP. According to the book, he had a "pay or play" contract which means that even though it didn't go to series he got paid his salary for 13 episodes. Neat stuff.

Interesting to watch.

Some of these costumes look a lot like throw-backs to the first pilot, The Cage". Even the landing party jacket in TMP looks like the jackets used in The Cage.
