They had little choice, as they were still producing contemporaneous TV episodes at the time. Whenever new material is made in isolation there’s always the temptation to embellish. The original motion picture uniforms were something of an exception, but the rest of the classic films were rather more of a departure than anything on TV.
For all his mucking about with alternative timelines, Abrams did a pretty faithful job of the uniform in his films. It’s a pity Discovery didn’t take a leaf out of his book (and it was Discovery I was really thinking of when I posted).
