All my fellow Julian Bashir fanpeople are wonderful and sexy and I love every single one of you more than I can say and each and everyone of your headcanons and theories and opinions is wonderful and right except for everyone who thinks the season 6/7 black & grey uniforms were better than the division colored shoulders. This is my weird passionate hill and I’m ready to die on it
Absolutely 100% this is specifically about Julian the later uniforms really work on some of the cast especially the bigger guys, they look excellent on Worf and Sisko and okay on Miles but just odd and wrong on Julian. And the funny thing is it probably would have looked okay if it had been tailored to actually fit him but instead they went even harder with the shoulderpads and general fake buff up and it’s just. yeah.
cause I remind you. that Sid is actually built like this
and the later revisions (and in my opinion best looking versions) of the original uniform look like this
meanwhile the grey one looks like, uh
yeah. you can see how much MORE fake bulk they added especially in the shoulders. Also when he moves or sits down you can see the collar and shoulders behaving super awkwardly and sometimes even standing off his body because they’re just *so* bulky and ill fitting.
Meanwhile, in the same scene:
This looks fine on this lady! Now to be clear I just don’t super like these uniforms overall as I find them a little bit too bland, but on the people they were tailored correctly for, they’re fine. The absolute biggest issue here is that they took the (already very much extant and already very much a problem) fake muscles “make him look hunkier” situation from the first uniform and turned it up to 11.
and also I don’t like these uniforms. at all. Too boring. Not enough division colors. And Sciences Blue My Beloved is turned into some weird unpleasant green color with these. Funny enough of course one of the best looks Julian ever had
is just the undershirt. Yes he very much has still got the fake pecs but at least there are not sofa cushions attached to his shoulders. It will never stop being amazing and slightly funny to me the way the paramount seemed completely unaware that women generally actually do very much like lean slender dudes and they thought they had to wrap Sid in soooo much padding to make him seem sufficiently sexy or whatever.
