Comment on Question about "redshirts"
jaelisp@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 months agoYeah, it was largely Patrick looked better in red. Likewise under the new system Data was supposed to be in red, but it clashed with his makeup so they put him in gold.
It’s acknowledged in universe but they’ve never said why. Just “back then it was the other way around”.

I’ve heard that Data was originally going to be a science officer and the blue uniform didn’t work with his makeup, but I don’t know whether or not it was true.
