Variations in uniforms and insignia are occasionally used as plot devices in the various series. In the episode " Future Imperfect", the insignia are slightly altered so as to convince a character that 16 years have passed. In the episode, "Parallels", variations in uniforms and insignia suggest a meeting of characters from different parallel universes. Trimble, Bjo. (1982).

Other uniform designs appeared briefly in individual episodes, always following the theme of a colored or differentiated shoulder yoke.
