Nah, they actually kept them. But everyone on Earth switched.

I always felt that the decision to change the uniforms was in part to draw attention to the older uniforms on Voyager.

They shouldn't have even had uniforms. They should all be manning the bride wearing Neelix-hide loincloths and tufts of Kazon hair.

Can't afford replicator rations for a cup of coffee, but can afford to have a fresh pressed uniform every day!

But they don't replicate uniforms every day, many people are seen traveling with bags and things, and I remember something about Naomi Wildeman's clothes needed to be put back through the replicator because she was growing so fast. Consider that it's supposed to be a society of conservation, to replicate something you need more than just it's parts, you need the parts + the energy to make it.

Though they should look more worn than they tend to.

By TNG, matter and energy were interchangeable. That's why when they finished eating they'd put the dirty plates back in the replicator, and they'd disappear. So she was putting Naomi's clothes in the have them go back into the energy bank for replicated goods.

Theoretically they would just have to collect space dust and gas to have all the goods they need, but they still have to use energy from the engine for the replicating/dereplicating process.

For TNG perhaps, but we are talking about Voyager, supplies are limited, that's why Neelix cooks and for all we know, does the dishes.

Its always the lovely races in trek that have backstories of being oppressed and nearly wiped out. Telaxians and Bajorans, separated by a quadrant, unfortunately both still cling to existence neither of them deserve.

Bajorans still routinely suffer from famines and segregate themselves into religious castes but the Federation wants to let them in. Meanwhile that one planet that made some genetically modified soldiers and then put them in a settlement on their moon got slapped down.

Those super soldiers should've made Picard their Emissary. Even Starfleet officers have massive egos that can be sucked up to. Then you get to be on the fast track to citizenship.
