It was a Homage to the ship and crew. The Franz Joeseph Tech manual was incorrect about many many things and should not be considered a good reference. The making of Star Trek By Roddenberry and Whitfield is a more accurate source of information on old Trek. There are many references and explanations in print for the movies and various T.V shows. I would direct you to Roddenberry.com for the uniform guides they sell that tell the provenence and thoughts of the designers of those costumes. <a href="http://store.roddenberry.com/" target="_blank">Roddenberry Store ---Look under Costumes for the guide----</a> I like the idea that each ship had their own symbol but it makes more sense to me that they would have one symbol for the entire fleet. You guys bring up some interesting points about the costumes. A few are incorrect but good just the same. For information about the uniforms:<a href="http://pub23.ezboard.com/fpropreplicasfrm62" target="_blank">Starfleet Uniforms and Wearables thread....Click Here</a> The guys here have had access to and are currently working on Trek and can answer any question you have about the uniforms. Including why they changed or didn't change uniforms. Later, Darius</blockquote>
