I wonder if they ginned these up for Section 31 or Starfleet Academy (if that’s still a thing?) and figured they could use them here, similar to the First Contact uniforms being ported over to DS9.
Sisko wore three uniforms over the course of ds9, I think since he started the pilot wearing the tng style uni then they changed to the first contact uniforms. Picard also picked up a special jacket later on in TNG
I remember when new uniform variants meant it was a new series (or at least a new admiral).
Orrrrr…maybe Wilson Cruz is pregnant and they need to cover it up?

Definitely still a thing, reportedly say to start filming later this summer.
As for S31, I don’t know if you keep up with the news, but…
spoiler
one of the characters is reportedly a young Rachel Garrett, which is fairly suggestive of the movie’s setting.
