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?
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.)
This sweater predated TNG. This is from 1983 (I thought it was from 1984, but someone corrected me). TNG premiered in 1987.
Well, yeah. Hard to be inspired by something that hasn’t been made yet.
Unless you’re saying the person who made the sweater from ’83 time travelled to the 24th century. :)
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.
Baby Wesley was taught to play Donkey Kong by Captain Anderson???
I had an Ocean Pacific sweater sort of like that when I was a kid
