Starfleet Uniforms and Fandom

Positively Trek 223: Starfleet Uniforms and Fandom

Plus: New DS9 Comic Mini-Series on the Way!

Starfleet uniforms have taken many different forms over the course of Star Trek history. A uniform represents many things: belonging to an organization (or a fandom), job, rank, militarism, and much more.

In this episode of Positively Trek, hosts Barry and Dan discuss Starfleet uniforms and their link to fandom. We also discuss the week’s Trek news, including the announcement of a Star Trek: Deep Space Nine comic mini-series to celebrate the show’s 30th anniversary (!!!), and the exciting debut of Sir Patrick Stewart on TikTok!
