I'm not sure, but it seems to work for every sci-fi / futuristic TV show or movie I can think of. If it helps accelerate our society to a more advanced state I will immediately commit to wearing a the same-design jumpsuit until the day I die.

- gerikson 10y agoMaybe they should have waited 40 years and started selling them over the internet.
- arethuza 10y agoProbably more to restricted budgets than anything else. Some novels of "advanced" societies make a point of mentioning that people wear a wide variety of clothes or indeed none at all (e.g. the spectacularly advanced and hedonistic Culture - where pretty much anything goes including widely different body designs).
- beaconstudios 10y agothe futuristic universal-uniform shows you speak of are usually engaging in either a form of techno-utopian communism (star trek) or military fascism (starship troopers). Shows with more individualistic clothing (Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica, Farscape) are usually more culturally contemporary (a balance of social support and capitalism). At least, that's how it seems, I'm not sure which shows you're referencing.
- rsynnott 10y agoEven in Star Trek, the civilians wear fairly varied clothes. The Starfleet crew all wear the same clothes because _it's a uniform_ (except for Deanna Troi, for some reason).
- beaconstudios 10y agoit was the only show I could think of when GP said "[uniform clothing] seems to work for every sci-fi / futuristic TV show or movie I can think of."
- Cthulhu_ 10y agoIt also seems to work quite well for the Stormtroopers. Hell, they even got rid of personal identity, just make a clone army.
