This is my head canon.

When a new race/planet joins the Federation, they get to design the new uniforms. Troi's people were responsible for the TOS miniskirts.

    Interesting theory, but the logistics of such a thing are a little crazy. What happens if multiple species joins in the same year?

    Off the top of my head. Say there are five new members. Planet A's uniform is worn for half a year, then the Bs get a turn, and so on and so on...

    Remember the argument the creators had about giving Patrick Stewart a wig? One said said that in the future there'd be a cure for baldness, and the other side felt that in the future people wouldn't care about baldness.

    The new races would see that it was a symbolic thing. Kind of like teams wearing pink to support breast cancer awareness.
