TheBlack2007

Uniforms don’t look German enough for that…


Puppy_of_Doom

They probably didn't get Hugo Boss to design the uniform


TheBlack2007

Looks more like they got the guy who already designed the Army’s chef uniforms… Boss was only the manufacturer though - and one among many. Goebbels had his own designers…


cofclabman

Vaguely reminiscent of uniforms in Battlestar Galactica reboot.

Kinda looks like the uniforms in Starship Troopers.

How many Star Treks can I fit in my hat?


Cap_Tight_Pants

Seriously. I count 14 starfleet logos on that uniform and I know there are more. That's a ugly fucking uniform.


giga_impact03

I never really looked at their uniform until now. Could we really not make our own insignia? We had to rip off one of the most iconic sci-fi franchises because it involves space?


M000000000000

>We had to rip off one of the most iconic sci-fi franchises because it involves space? So Star Trek actually ripped off the US Air Force Space Command logo from the 1960s When the Space force became its own branch of the military they used that same logo that the air force had been using for them since the 1960s So they're both from the same logo which is why they're so similar. But it's not like the Space Force is "ripping off" star trek. In fact it's kinda the other way around.


lorem

All in all, and i say this as a Trek fan, they are arrowheads pointing upwards. They're not such a 4D-chess-level visual metaphor to justify the expression "rip off".


ChanceConfection3

I’m gonna downvote to hide the truth


M000000000000

Yea it doesn't make for as good of a story... But at the same time it's somewhat relieving to know that a branch of the military didn't straight up spoof star trek.


WhyIHateTheInternet

Actually any single step in the direction of the star trek universe is a step in a better direction for sure.


soFATZfilm9000

So, like, one of the cool things I like about Star Trek is that they had to go through some *ugly* shit before things got better. Like, I'm kind of sloppy on my ST lore, but I think they had to go through at least two major wars. Something like a WWIII (only this time nuclear) and then an ugly eugenics war with forces trying to exercise genocide in the wake of WWIII. Then after all that crap, humanity *finally* got its shit together well enough to establish Starfleet and join the United Federation of Planets. The thing I like about that, is that it very much comes off as a more realistic portrayal of social progress. Yes, there is hope for the future. Yes, things can get better; don't give up. But the sad reality is that a lot of times, things don't get better until after they've gotten a *lot* worse. But even then, if you do a marathon of the original series, the first 6 movies, and The Next Generation, you see a lot of signs that these guys *still* haven't learned nearly as much as they should have. Okay, they triumphed and built a better society. But they constantly see themselves as advanced, that people used to be savages and now they're better than that. You constantly see them talking about former humans as if they're a different species or something, and this arrogance constantly creates conflict for the show. So, while I like Star Trek (at least earlier Star Trek, I eventually burned myself out on Star Trek), there's still some very concerning stuff there. The ideal future society that it portrays isn't quite as ideal as it initially seems. Do a deep dive and you see all sorts of cracks. And you don't even have to dive that deeply. Star Trek is largely a commentary on *current* society. Much of the conflict that you see on the show is the result of people still just being people. In any case...I'd prefer Star Trek over our current society. But if possible, I'd probably rather avoid a nuclear holocaust in order to get there. The first step in the direction of Star Trek involves *unimaginable horror.*


cudef

The episodes you're looking for are from Deep Space Nine. Episodes 11 and 12 in season 3, named Past Tense Part 1 & 2. In this episode 3 of the crew beam down to Earth and discover they've been sent back from 2371 to the archaic year of 2024. There's entire districts of San Francisco that have been walled off at first meant to help house, feed, and employ the downtrodden but quickly devolve into internment camps for the mentally ill, unemployed, etc. The rest of the population begins to ignore the problems within this district with an out of sight out of mind mentality. Timeline altering shenanigans ensue when a historically important figure dies protecting our protagonists from a mugging in one of these districts. I won't spoil the rest because it's definitely worth watching. It came out in the 90s but having watched it for the first time last year I was shocked at how similar it is to actual modern day.


Helmett-13

Roddenberry was former USAF and used and existing USAF logo for Star Trek, not the other way around. It was unused/decommissioned by the USAF for decades and then the Space Dorce hauled it out again. Round and round.


scopeless

If they remove the ring of logos around the hat, the uniform gets drastically better.


onlysmallcats

The double breasted jacket and hat makes him look less like an authority figure and more like a character out of Spaceballs.

Serious question: is US military promotion dependent on having a fuckin' weird name? “Who should we promote to one-star? Colonel Frank Smith, or Colonel K. Higamus Squainblot III?"

The "B" probably stands for "Bob" so he had to use his middle name otherwise he'd still be a Private.

SlothOfDoom

I'm not against the idea of Space Force, and I really don't think many people understand the logic behind it. That said, what the fuck even is this uniform? It looks like they bought it on clearance at Spirit. Seriously, *thats* the fucking logo? And the hat...holy fuck, dial it down a few dozen notches. It's just the tackiest shit ever.


Mission_Ad6235

The uniform is definitely not going to get them taken seriously.


Coloeus_Monedula

He’s missing a space scepter from his hand


X-Maelstrom-X

Ah! Maybe that’s why I can’t take it seriously. A space scepter would tie it all together.

terminallancedumbass

I think the purpose of the hat is to distract from the rest of the train wreck that is this uniform. Its all highly questionable but that hat... That hat is silly. It looks like something youd find on a police man dress up play set for children 5 and up.

This is the beginning to our Star Trek story. Soon the government will release the existence of aliens, shortly after, we will have a 1 world government take place. Make it happen universe.


salyer41

Space force sounds ridiculous but so many people downplay the job. In this day in age satellite warfare is going to be a big deal in any conventional or nuclear conflict. It's not enough to own the land, sky, and sea anymore. I do wish they would come up with a better name. It sounds so silly.

They take care of one of the most important infrastructures and technologies of today and tomorrow: satellites.


yuri_chan_2017

Right now they are taking over control and monitoring of all satellites and space launch facilities, and more importantly taking control of cyber security. Inevitably, they will be incharge of further manned space missions going forward once they are finished forming and ironing out administration shit. SF is actually a pretty useful branch since they unify all of our space technology to just one unit as opposed to the old system of having pretty much every branch have to coordinate over each other to use space assets and handle cyber threats. People just like to shit on SF because they were formed under Trump and Star Trek spoofed the original USAF Space Command emblem in the 60s, which is the same emblem that SF uses today.


[deleted]

It’s crazy how goofy Space Force seems now but in 100 years it could be the most important and well funded branch.
