The Space Force branch of the United States military is back in the news, thanks to the latest uniforms that have been unveiled. The new “Guardian Service Dress” uniforms that made their debut today have quickly become the source of jokes, with social media users comparing The Space Force’s newest look to shows like Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica. This is not the first (and certainly not the last) time that The Space Force has been mocked for looking like a knock-off version of popular sci-fi franchises – but when the uniform fits, what are you gonna do?ย

All some people need to hear is “Star Trek” and they are on board.ย

Everyone's talking about the Space Force uniforms but I would like to remind you all of this gem from Star Trek TNG

Wow, The Space Force is just going to straight rob Battlestar Galactica now? Really?!
Get Original!
Battlestar Galactica is not impressed. Don't the uniform geniuses at "Space Force" have original thoughts? pic.twitter.com/IcToobter3

Can’t The Space Force – the branch of the military that may have to face unimaginable threats from the vast universe out there – even come up with their own uniform concepts?ย
Biden <3 Battlestar

The President was on lockdown binge-watching the classics just like the rest of us. Not surprisingย
Air Force Already Been Doing It
I like how they did this at the Air Force association conference, highlighting that the Space Force's duties were done by the Air Force for decades without the need for an entire new branch wasting money on Battlestar Galactica knockoff uniforms with horribly tailored trousers

Seriously though, the Air Force has been doing this job WITHOUT the need for knockoff sci-fi uniforms.ย
How Long Will The Theft Go On?
I legit think that each time they make something new for Space Force, they pick a different space movie to steal from.

Logo – Star Trek
Soldier name – Guardians of the Galaxy
Uniform – Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets https://t.co/aNyBQjvXYT
Seriously asking: How long will The Space Force’s intellectual theft be allowed to continue?ย
