However, by the end of the 2nd season of TNG , this uniform began to be phased out, replaced with a similar but subtly different design. While the look and placement of the colors were similar, this new Star Trek uniform got rid of the piping on the shoulders, added a collar around the neck, and most importantly, changed the one-piece jumpsuit to a two-piece jacket and pants combination. Although the jumpsuit style continued to be worn by background actors and some of the women in the main cast, it was mostly phased out going into the 3rd season, and the new design became the standard uniform worn by the cast for the remainder of the show.
The changes to the uniform design occurred because of some important behind-the-scenes reasons having to do with the comfort of the actors.
While the idea of a uniform that did not wrinkle was an interesting one, the foot strap on the original uniforms pulled the jumpsuit so tight that it caused several actors, including Brent Spiner, Jonathan Frakes, and Patrick Stewart , significant back problems.
The issues were so bad that Stewart's chiropractor reportedly told him he should sue the production for the damage done to his back. The original uniform was also made of a material that was reportedly not very breathable, causing actors to overheat under the studio lights and some not insignificant issues with body odor.

You've probably never thought to count, have you? That's going to change today! Grab a notebook and a pencil and start counting. Keep your eyes open and count all the uniforms you see today.
Whether it's a policeman, a firefighter, a chef, or a delivery specialist, write down all the uniforms that you see. If you want to keep track of the different types of uniforms, you can do that, too! What purposes do uniforms serve? Go back over your list of uniforms you saw today and write some adjectives that describe the purposes those uniforms serve.
Some particular types of common purposes are identification, safety, and protection. What other purposes can you identify? Do you wear a uniform to school? If so, do you like it?
Why or why not? If you've never worn a uniform to school…or if you're not happy with the uniform you're currently wearing…why not design your own? Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to design a school uniform for the Wonderopolis School of Who, What, Where, When and Why.
Our mascot is the Purple Platypus, so please plan purposefully! Should boys and girls wear the same uniform? If not, make sure you design uniforms for both boys and girls. Will the uniforms be the same in the summer and winter?
If not, what different types of clothing can be worn in each season? When you're finished with your design, please share it by posting a picture on Facebook for all your Wonder Friends to see. We can't wait to see what our students will be wearing! Did you get it? Test your knowledge.

Join the Discussion. Stephanie Apr 30, I'm doing my senior project on the benefits of school uniforms and I found this article very helpful, because it explains the importance of uniforms in general. Apr 30, We're glad it was helpful for you, Stephanie! Congratulations on your upcoming graduation! Wonder Friend Feb 22, Feb 26, We hope that this Wonder helps explain why people wear uniforms, though!
Feb 22, Phil Feb 21, Feb 23, Teddy Bear Nov 4, As a student at a school in the Uk, I have found that some of my friends find it difficult being positive about school because they can't identify themselves as an individual because everybody else is wearing the same clothes. Remie Feb 22, That's too bad! Have you ever thought of starting a petition against it? Wonderopolis Nov 4, Chynnah miller Jun 20, I think it's good to wear uniforms but then I think it's not because when you get older you will never know what's out there because you never got to wear the fashionable things in life and when parents don't want to pick out your clothes well they're lazy.
Wonderopolis Jun 20, Carlos a. Jun 19, My mom, too, is part of the uniform organization group U. She thinks it's a great idea for the uniforms, but for me I don't think so, kids should wear whatever they want because, imagine when you are stuck wearing the same thing for like, the rest of your school years.
