Star Trek TNG ‘Trek The Halls’ Ugly Christmas Sweaters: Make It Snow

Posted on by

Inspired by the command division’s red uniforms from Star Trek: The Next Generation, Numbskull Designs has created these officially licensed ‘Trek The Halls’ ugly Christmas sweaters. Available from Just Geek for $42, the 100% knitted (not printed!) sweaters are available in sizes 3XS – 4XL for a size that will fit anybody. I can already see myself becoming indignant when this isn’t enough to clinch victory in the ugly Christmas sweater contest at work.

Upon closer review, I do have a hard time considering this an ugly Christmas sweater. I mean, it might actually be the most fashionable sweater I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot of sweaters because I used to work sorting donations at a Goodwill. I’ve… smelled a lot of smells.

Imagine us all standing around a holiday fire in our Trek The Halls sweaters, sipping Saurian Brandy, and regaling our guests with our latest adventures aboard the Enterprise. Sounds like a dream, doesn’t it? That’s because it is a dream. I mean, unless we’re role-playing, in which case I call Data!

Chinese schools keep tabs on kids with ‘intelligent uniforms’

Even schoolkids can't escape China's increasing obsession with surveillance. Over 10 schools in the country's southwestern Guizhou province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region have made students wear "intelligent uniforms" from Guanyu Technology in...

Star Trek: TNG Uniform Denim Jackets: The Denim Generation

Posted on by

If you want to dress like the crew of the USS Enterprise, then make it so (or is it “make it sew?”) These officially-licensed Starfleet 2364 heavy denim jackets are available from Volante Design’s Superhuman Streetwear collection. I have to admit they look pretty awesome. They’re definitely better than those spandex ones from the early Next Generation days.

Denim is what everyone is wearing in the future. Everyone knows that. You can get them in both men’s and women’s sizes in Command Red, Operations Gold, and Sciences Blue. Each one features an asymmetrical zipper, two snap closure external pockets, and an internal pocket.

Just be prepared to pay a hefty fee for that future look. They sell for $315 each. Are Ferengi merchants selling these at a Klingon flea market on Deep Space Nine? I could probably get enrolled in Starfleet for that price. Actually, money doesn’t really exist in Starfleet, so they should be giving these out for free. So much for your utopia, Gene Roddenberry.

They do look good though. Better than the ones on any of the shows to be honest. This should be the uniform choice for any new Star Trek series.

Tablets, the final frontier. These are the clothes of the Apple iPad… No, really. These cool knitted Star Trek uniform tops are designed for your iPad to wear. They are made by Etsy seller KnitterWho, who is just a simple tailor, not a Cardassian spy.

It’s fitting (pun intended) that the iPad gets some Next Generation crew uniforms since the iPad first appeared on Star Trek: The Next Generation in the 24th century.

You can choose from several custom iPad covers styled like the uniforms of the Enterprise-D’s bridge crew. There’s Worf’s uniform with the sash, Command red, medical blue, security yellow, and the oh-so-special Wesley jumpsuit.

Conductive fabrics may power future infantry gear, uniforms set to enter field trials

Conductive uniforms may power future infantry gear, set to begin field trials next month
If you thought your Sunbeam electric blanket or those Hello Kitty foot warmers were advanced pieces of kit, then you'd best divert your eyes from this story out of the UK. In an effort to eliminate the mess of power cables and extraneous batteries from a soldier's tech gear, one British company is currently experimenting with conductive fabrics as the basis for future military uniforms. The material is able to deliver power to any number of devices -- all from a single battery -- and also features a redundancy aspect, with the ability to reroute power should the fabric become torn or damaged. The company, known as Intelligent Textiles, recently received a £234,000 grant from the Ministry of Defense and hopes to begin field trials of its equipment next month. While these high tech uniforms may see a limited military issue by year's end, it's thought unlikely that the gear will become widespread until 2014 or beyond.
