Two insignia badges per uniform?!

Recommended Posts

I just finished watching Generations again. During the scene were Picard meets Kirk in the Nexus, Kirk is chopping firewood. He's wearing a white shirt with a unifrom-style vest over it. On the vest is an insignia pin. His uniform jacket is draped over some logs. It also has an insignia pin on it. What's up with that?

 

Here you can see the badge on his uniform jacket, and you can sorta see it on his vest.

For reference, here's Kirk with the badge on his vest.

It could be that he would have both. If I remember correctly my Class A uniform in the Army had all of my awards and medals on the jacket as well as having the same medals on my shirt. If I took my jacket off you would still see all of my awards and ribbons.

plus being retired, maybe when he boarded the Enterprise-B he wanted to remind everyone that he was a Captain, maybe he did it for his ego!

But insignia badges do not denote rank in any way.
