There's nothing wrong with the Vulcan Salute Hoodie, but it isn't exactly as authentic as the Star Trek Uniform Hoodie. This hoodie is designed to look identical to the uniforms worn from season three onward on "Star Trek: The Next Generation." The officially licensed hoodie has screen-accurate colors and piping around the hood to make it look like you're actually sporting a Starfleet uniform when going hood-less.
The Star Trek Uniform Hoodie comes in three colors: red (command), blue (sciences) and gold (operations). The best part about these hoodies is that they let you subtly fly your geek flag. True fans of the show will recognize and appreciate them, while those who aren't familiar with Captain Picard and friends will merely think you're sporting a stylish sweater. The hoodies are on sale now for $59.99.
