Most avatars you will see across the fleet have adopted the Starfleet uniforms first introduced in ''Star Trek: First Contact'' and last seen in ''Nemesis.'' Onscreen, we also saw this uniform still used in 2390 in the ''Voyager'' episode "Timeless."
Most avatars you will see across the fleet have adopted the Starfleet uniforms first introduced in ''Star Trek: Picard'' season 2. This 25th Century design has largely replaced the similar uniform introduced in the first season of ''Picard'', although it can be found used on some ships as well. Despite these new iterations of the uniform, some ships still use the older variant from the 2370s, first seen in ''Star Trek: First Contact'' and used alongside the other designs all the way to ''Star Trek: Lower Decks''.


Although this version of the future was ultimately prevented from happening in the course of the episode, because we have seen the double-barred combadge design consistently throughout "future timeline" episodes, from "All Good Things..." (TNG) to "The Visitor" (DS9) and "Endgame" (VOY), it would seem this combadge was destined to be deployed by Starfleet. With our game now passing the events of even the alternate future seen in "Timeless," the new combadge design is now showing up across our fleet gradually. Since 2395, some starships have also begun authorizing use of the uniforms seen in "All Good Things" and other episodes that showed the "future" Starfleet.
The most commonly used version of the combadge is the silver double-barred one seen in ''Picard''. A few examples of the 2380s version sometimes seen in ''Star Trek: Prodigy'' (and in various episodes featuring alternate timelines) can also be found, while some already don the golden variant of the ''Picard'' combadge seen in the episode "The Last Generation" of ''Picard''.
