TIL from my own post in HistoryPorn that Wesley's sweater was off-the-rack.

This is from 1984. (The guy on the right is Keith David, by the way.)
I didn't even notice the sweater the kid was wearing until someone else pointed it out.
I doubt either Mr. Rogers' production company in Pittsburgh raided the Paramount costuming warehouse in L.A. or vice-versa.
Who knew 20th century sweaters would be popular centuries from now?
You're viewing a single thread.
The rainbow jumper Wesley wore was custom made for the show. But stuff like this clearly inspired it. “Which was the style at the time.”
(I remember a 1990s-era behind the scenes special that talked about making his costumes in particular. Good luck me ever finding it again, though.)
I read Wesley's tricolor stripe was supposed to be the 3 uniform colors which the student hasn't chosen yet.
Yep. The picture above is an actual rainbow. Wesley’s jumper has the Starfleet department colors only.

Poor kid. Probably died from woke by now. If only there was some way to have been aware of the sociological impacts of reckless ignorance and cruelty.
This sweater predated TNG. This is from 1983 (I thought it was from 1984, but someone corrected me). TNG premiered in 1987.
