Several types of uniforms are used within the Colonial fleet.
A singled-breasted blue duty uniform is used by officers. The left side of the uniform folds over the right and is secured by column of buttons. Military occupation specialty pins are affixed over the pocket. The pant legs feature bell bottoms.
The officers' dress uniform is modeled after the duty uniform, except for a few key differences. It is gray, lacks a pocket or shoulder patches, features a sash to which MOS pins and other medals are affixed, and is secured by a single clasp rather than a column of buttons. Senior officers' uniforms also feature a dark gray bar around the neck.
Enlisted personnel use a double-breasted green uniform, except on the flight deck where uniforms color-coded according to military occupation specialty are used, as on real-life aircraft carriers.
Both the officer and enlisted duty uniforms feature large patches over the shoulders. Rank insignia is affixed to both sides of the collar.
The battle dress utility uniform is an urban digital camouflage pattern of various shades of dark and light grays. It features angled breast and shoulder pockets and lacks abdominal pockets, and the buttons are covered, much like real-life United State Marine Corps MARPAT uniforms. The elbows of the battle dress utility feature large patches. The boots are typically not bloused, with the pant legs left hanging over the boots. The uniform features a mandarin collar which can be worn up for comfort in body armor or in a down position for appearance in other situations.
The uniforms used by the Colonial Marines are based on the BDU, only in solid black rather than the digital pattern. Load-bearing vests, helmets, communications gear, knee and elbow pads, gloves and goggles are standard.
Flight suits with left sleeve pockets are used by flight-qualified crew (pilots, ECOs and the like). The flight suit is a life-support garment and can sustain the life of the pilot in hostile enviroments up to and including total vacuum and freezing temperature.
Black leather boots and hexagonal identification tags are used with all uniforms. All uniforms except for Colonial and Marine BDUs feature left-shoulder patches indicating their assigned Battlestar Group.
A gray sleeveless tee shirt covered by a brown tank top is worn beneath all unifroms, including at least the flight suit, the duty uniforms, BDUs, the deck crew work uniforms, and Dr. Cottle's coat (Mini-Series, Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II, You Can't Go Home Again deleted scene) .
