My personal take is that when a new species/planet joins the Federation they get to design a new uniform for Star Fleet. The Betazeds picked the miniskirts from TOS.
A friend once told me this. If you call someone a ‘fanboy’ and they chuckle and nod, they are just a fan. If you call them a ‘fanboy’ and they go into a two hour diatribe on how their devotion is perfectly justified and rational, then you’ve got a ‘fanboy.’
The forgotten era uniforms are when Starfleet decided they were mature grown ups now. They adopted the Enterprise’s insignia across the fleet and stop letting ships/captains have any say over the uniforms. By the time we get to TNG they’ve relaxed it a bit again.

That would actually be fun headcanon.
Who do you think made the monster maroons?
Tholians
I seriously doubt they’re in the Federation. Especially during that time.
I was joking. Maybe it was a Tholian spy that thought the uniforms would hamper Kirk
Now that is headcanon I can get behind.
Tholian: “Hehehe, make the inside white so you easily see them bleeeeed!”
No idea, I’m not a super-fan.
I will say that I like those uniforms the best of all the iterations. Maybe because Wrath of Khan is my favorite movie?
I think you’re a bigger fan than you realize.
