| - By 2266, this new uniform had been made official and the older one was dropped. (TOS episode: "The Corbomite Maneuver") Despite the eventual majority of Starfleet who wore these uniforms, the process of replacing every vessel's uniforms took time, with some individuals wearing the older uniform type for years afterwards. For example, Starbase 47's personnel had received the new uniforms in 2265, but the USS Enterprise had not when they visited the station. A year later, in 2266, the Enterprise crew was wearing the new issue when they met the crew of the ill-fated USS Antares, who had continued with the old design.

(VAN novel: Harbinger; TOS episode: "Charlie X") The same happened after this uniform finished its run as the official wear of Starfleet, by 2270 some (but not all) servicepeople on Earth, Starbase 10 and the Enterprise wore early versions of the next early-2270s issue, even though some servicepeople wore the late-2260s uniform well past that date. Commodore Stocker and Will Decker had already switched to the 2270s design when the Enterprise picked Decker up at Starbase 10 in 2270, but James T. Kirk and his crew continued with the 2260s uniforms on their voyage home. (TOS comic: "The Final Voyage") Starfleet Operations had kept the 2260s uniforms in issue, and Kirk wore this uniform at the beginning of his tenure as a rear admiral, along with Scotty, who was beginning the refit of Enterprise. The Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards had already switched to the 2270s design when Kirk secretly met with Tyya Turner there. Scotty and Kirk would finally stop using this uniform later in 2270, shortly before Kirk's first "troubleshooter" assignment.
