Sam Rutherford wearing the uniform at a FleetCon.
In early January 2270, Starbase 10 began a process of incorporating a new uniform, one which differed significantly from those of the previous decade, and which harkened to an earlier, white-colored one. (TOS comic: "The Final Voyage"; TOS novel: Black Fire; TOS movie, novelization & comic adaptation: The Motion Picture)
This version of the Starfleet uniform proved to be unpopular with both enlisted and officer personnel. In 2278, a new uniform was introduced, and the 2270s version of the uniform was completely phased out by the year 2280. (TOS reference: Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise and TOS novel: Wagon Train to the Stars)
