REMAKE SERIES

Members of the Yamato crew, showcasing the male and female uniforms of various departments

The crew of the space battleship Yamato uses unique uniforms and protective gear that is not the same as that used by the larger Earth Federation Cosmo Navy. These uniforms were later used by the Yamato fleet, and by the ships Asuka and Hyuga even after they left the unit.

Overview

The Yamato uniform patch

Yamato crew memebers wear unique uniforms whose color depends on their department. Male uniforms are composed of a tunic with a anchor design on the chest, while female uniforms are form-fitting bodysuits with a line running from the neck until the crotch area, and separating into two lines around the thighs, forming a similar anchor motif. The male uniform has shoes, which are brown and separate from the pants. The female uniform has boots that are the same color of the rest of the uniforms and have heels, they open with a zip on the side.

Both uniforms feature a brown belt with a golden buckle, which can be used to hold a Nanbu Type-97 handgun or a Nanbu Type-Year 14 Handgun.

All uniforms have three lines on the upper portion of each arm, which, at least in some cases, are used to describe one's affiliation. On an officer's uniform, the first two lines have their assignment written on them (Yuki Mori had "OPERATIONS" written on the first one and "OFFICER" on the second), while the third is used to write out their name, with the initial of the first name and the surname spelled in its entirity. Civilian nurse Makoto Harada had "MEDIC" written on the first line, "UNCF CIV" on the second, and her name on the third one.

On the left arm, just under the third line, is a Yamato uniform patch. Spacesuits also sported the United Nations/Earth Federation Cosmo Force's logo on the left side of the chest and its uniform patch on the right arm.

Pilot suits resemble standard uniforms, but are more form fitting and often feature a harness to secure a backpack,

Behind the scenes

The depiction of the female Yamato uniforms have changed between the various remake series.

In Star Blazers: Space Battleship Yamato 2199, the uniforms are depicted as more skin tight than they are in Star Blazers: Space Battleship Yamato 2205, although this might be a side effect of 2205's more detailed artstyle.

In Star Blazers: Space Battleship Yamato 2202, the uniforms seem to be made out of a reflective fabric, but in all other appearances the fabric is not reflective. This decision was made by director Nobuyoshi Habara, who wanted to clarify the characteristics of the fabric after being asked by 2199 cosplayers and having been unable to answer.
