Imperial Navy Uniforms

[Hemdian]

For those few (like me) who like red uniforms, there is 'Captain John' from Torchwood: click bottom-left pic of http://www.costume-designer.co.uk/portfolio-items/torchwood/ ... A sort of Imperial Navy uniform with a Firefly-esque grunge treatment.

Examples of gray and navy blue uniforms:

The gray renders better showing more detail.

I voted for gray, but the color isn't as important to my mental image as the cut and other features.
I imagine the uniforms as coveralls with insignia patches and ball caps.
Lots of pockets. The tops can be detached from the bottoms so you can make potty without stripping your upper body.

Here they are!!

Dress Uniform

Polizia Italia Nationali!


:rofl:

:rofl:

That's the Marine Uniform. Who are, on Terra in 5620, they ARE the police. :coffeegulp:

Also, mention should be made that it's originally from TD15.

Navy Parade Dress

Maybe Imperial Russia but a Parade Dress or Admiral?

Perhaps a Noble's Uniform?

Well yeah, but it really looks like the Italian police especially the cap....or Jersey State Police!

THe only thing missing from the Italian police of 5620 is the MP brassard in both Anglic and Bilandin.

The Solomani Marines already wear black. SolSec already wears Black. Does everyone in Solomani Service wear Black? (Does that actually make any kind of sense?) [/b]</font>

The pround defenders of true humanity refuse to needlessly wast the hard-earned money of the citizens they have sworn to defend. Therefor they do not follow unneccesary and wasteful Imperial Customs like differently colored uniforms. The citizens in turn honor their valiant defenders in their choice of colors.

Well, in reality the only color Solomanie Clothing Industrie can produce is black. But that's a state secret.[/QUOTE]

I think the Terran Navy wore blue and that should shape the traditions of both the Sylvians and The Solomani. For their dress uniforms both Whites and Blues. The Terrian navy traditional would also have winter vs summer vs tropicals tollowing the traditions of most of thd major powers that shaped the Terran fleet.

Navy blue is almost black, anyway, Cliff.

I always kind of pictured SolSec wearing Mao suits of some sort. Call me crazy.

I always envisage them in US Civil War Era navy uniforms. High falling collars, double breasted, usually buttoned up to the collar-line, tails for officers, but in Navy Blue, not the medium indigo used then...

like http://www.philaprintshop.com/images/navuni1899.jpg has.

Men in Black.

Long coats or long tails would be a pain in the butt to stuff into a vacc suit...

 

[Condottiere]

Is that a tail in your legging or are you just happy to see me?

Hey, that is a tail in your legging and you are happy to see me.

 

[aramis]

Like SolSec would worry about that? Especially on Dress Uniforms?

 

[SanDragon]

I figured you were talking about dress uniforms!

Hopefully, something more practical would be worn in the field.

In the field, SolSec masquerade as other forces....

Like the guy who installed my AT&T Uverse. But I digress.

Dealing with SolSec is a hot potato, and pretty much depends on the tack you want to take as to how the Confederation functions and what role you want SolSec to play within it.

There's the joke where a Balkan dictator commissioned a famous designer to create a uniform for his secret police. The result was beautiful and magnificent.

When a friend asked why the designer agreed to the request of the despised dictator and wasted his talent dressing the his hated henchmen, the designer replied so that everyone could see them coming.
