Fans in Birmingham, England are enjoying the Destination Star Trek convention this weekend and the first scoop to emerge is a look at the new Starfleet Admiral uniform that Picard (Patrick Stewart) will be seen wearing in the upcoming CBS All Access series ‘Star Trek: Picard’. In the series, Picard will have reached the rank of Admiral before retiring.
Fan blog Trek Core posted a number of images of the new uniform, modeled on a mannequin. Here are two. If you want to see more, including more up-close detail pics, head over there.
This uniform was crafted by ‘Picard’ costume designer Christine Clark. As Trek Core pointed out, it appears that she drew inspiration from Bob Blackman who designed costumes throughout the ’90s.

The first issue will be released on November 4.
