Bruce Horak Andorian Hemmer Landing Party Starfleet Uniform from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

Presented below are some detailed photos of a Bruce Horak screen worn Andorian crewmember Hemmer Starfleet Landing Party Uniform from the new Star Trek: Strange New Worlds television series, the 8th live action adventure series in the history of the franchise, which is set to premiere on Thursday, May 5, 2022 on Paramount+.  This costume was recently on display in a special Strange New Worlds exhibit at Star Trek: Mission Chicago, a ViacomCBS sponsored fan convention that took place from April 8 - 10, 2022 at the massive McCormick Place center in Chicago, Illinois.   It is an attractive design, that features a U.S.S. Enterprise / United Federation of Planets shoulder crested jacket that is worn over the officer's standard Starfleet duty tunic.  This design takes its inspiration from the away team costumes seen in the 1st TOS pilot episode "The Cage", which also featured unique jackets worn over the officers' tunics.  All of the Starfleet uniforms in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds are the creations of Costume Designers Bernadette Cross and Gersha Phillips in the ST:SNW Costume Department.

Special thanks to my friend and fellow Star Trek fan T.J. Babinetz, who attended the Star Trek: Mission Chicago convention, for his very gracious permission to display his detailed photography of this costume in this article.    Just click on any of the images below to view an enlarged version ...
