Misc. Observations and Errors, part 1

Oddly enough, the DS9/NEM admiral jacket was something of a latecomer to the family of standard uniforms; although the formal uniform wouldn't be seen for some time (except a variation briefly seen at the end of Deep Space Nine's early sixth season episode "You Are Cordially Invited"), we saw several admirals during the DS9/NEM era wearing the later TNG-style for a while before the "upgrade" was introduced:

DS9, 5x10 "Rapture"
DS9, 5x16 "Dr. Bashir, I Presume?"
DS9, 6x1 "A Time to Stand"


The DS9/NEM admiral jackets were first introduced in Deep Space Nine's early sixth season episode, "Behind the Lines," albeit with a different version of the belt buckle than the later, iconic UFP one:

DS9, 6x4 "Behind the Lines"
