Uniforms

Victor wears a blue vinyl jacket on Alpha in 1996 (Dragon's Domain) while Koenig & Cellini wear orange vinyl jackets on Earth. The orange jackets are worn by the guards in The Testament Of Arkadia. Victor's blue jacket was worn by Alan in The Metamorph, One Moment Of Humanity & All That Glisters. Koenig's orange jacket was worn by Picard in The Metamorph & Maya in One Moment Of Humanity.

In Year 2 the jackets had a variety of colours, with a beige band on the left forearm. Most jackets were cheap, unlined polyester-cotton with a beige band down the front bordering the zip, decorated with badges. Three good quality jackets, with stitching and incorporating belts, were prepared. Koenig had an intricately-stitched red jacket. Helena had a blue jacket. Maya had a blue jacket with red chevrons across the chest, seen in New Adam, New Eve and A Matter Of Balance. More frequently, they wore the same cheap jackets as the rest of the cast: Koenig had a black jacket (later navy), Helena a blue one, and Maya a green jacket.

The "good" jackets could have a commlock or stun gun attached externally, and could be worn zipped up. The "cheap" jackets cannot, so were always worn open (in a few shots Koenig has his black jacket zipped up and cannot have a commlock on him).

Tony wore a dark green or navy jacket and Alan a green or red jacket. Most jackets were red, blue or green, although in One Moment Of Humanity Sandra wears a yellow one. Reilly in All That Glisters has a camouflage combat jacket.

Koenig is only rarely seen without a jacket (in Journey To Where & in publicity shots only of The A B Chrysalis). Helena & Maya often do not wear jackets.

The same brand of racing style jacket was also worn by Luke Skywalker in Star Wars (in yellow during medal ceremony) and Empire Strikes Back (orange, as a pilot).
