In the mid-2270s, the Federation Starfleet began to consider a new uniform design, a maroon-toned, somewhat militaristic type of Starfleet uniforms with shoulder-clip jackets and metal breast and belt-buckle insignias. The design was first approved for production during reference stardate 2/19, on 17 September. The first issue occurred in that stardate, on 31 October. The uniform attracted criticism from peace-minded citizens and groups, who felt like the Federation was giving Starfleet a more military slant than served its purpose, perhaps as a precursor to aggression against the Klingons or Romulans (ST reference: Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise)

Kirk's personal request, the new Starfleet uniform issue was instated early as the ship's uniform of the USS Enterprise, replacing the white and grey uniforms. (TOS novel: Wagon Train to the Stars) By 2278, the new uniforms come into in widespread use on other vessels, such as the USS Bozeman. (TNG episode: "Cause and Effect") By the 2320s, the uniforms had been altered with less prominent color-coded undershirts, and the belts were removed by the 2340s. (TNG episode: "Yesterday's Enterprise") Another minor change, a new combadge, occurred before the turn of the 2350s decade. (TNG episode: "Family") These uniforms became quite recognizable after long term use, but continued criticism caused new designs to spring into use during an interim period before this type was abolished altogether and replaced with much more relaxed styles of the 2350s uniform.
