I like to imagine there’s some ISN propagandist on Earth working out how to spin things when the station goes back on the air. He gets a tip off from an unammed source that B5’s command crew have ditched their Earthforce uniforms for all-black ones of alien design… he thinks about it, then decides it’s ‘too obvious’ to use as propaganda material.


ROFLMAO.

Yes, THIS.

They really are snazzy uniforms. But seriously, folks? Seriously? And JMS is usually so careful about his symbolism, too.
