Like Paramount is going to do that.

So if I understand correctly:
- CBS laid out the common backstory of Data becoming Captain of the Ent-E, the Hobus supernova et al.
- IDW's prequel tie-in to nuTrek was one interpretation
- STO is another, independent interpretation

A bit of a shame, really. Guess I'll just have to stick with my Sierra Ones for now.
It does seem like we may be in a "Tom Paris" vs "Nicholas Locarno" situation.

IDW's design was based on artwork Cryptic supplied them. At least one dev (Gozer) wore a custom jacket based on the design. It was used in early STO pre-Alpha and frequently in STO promotional artwork.

Cryptic's artist later decided he didn't like that design and altered it to create the Sierra 01 design.
R.I.P. Caspian Division.
An expensive lesson that one compromised account can undo the hours of work and hundreds of dollars spent in good faith by a fleet.

Exactly, given that they had since then already moved on to JJ Trek.

It does feel like that, doesn't it?

Eew! Not only are the cuts amateurish, but look at the horrid plasticky leathery yuckiness! It'd had been better if it was a tighter fit using the same fabric as their TNG Movie costumes.

I have to partially agree with you on that. It IS possible that Cryptic had to "re-invent" the uniform in question into the Sierra 1 uniform (which, btw, I really don't mind how it looks atm). However, I think they wanted to give us enough unliscenced uniforms that new players, who have no access to a credit card (and thereby can't get zen very easily), to create a character who has SOME resemblance of being a Starfleet, Klingon, or, as of May 21st, Romulan officer WITHOUT having to pay money for them. However, they ALSO have a nice selection of Canon uniforms from the different series and films, that have been made over the years (such as the TOS uniforms, Wrath of Khan and Subsequent Search for Spock uniform, TNG season 1, TNG Series, TNG Admiral, and DS9 uniform), available to purchase in the C-Store! It is very much possible that STO writers do NOT want to make the uniform in question available to us simply because another uniform (Sierra 1) already looks close enough to the one in question. Also, keep in mind that a comic rendition of a uniform WILL look radically different when produced in a game or film! It is unavoidable!

Indifferent about the Countdown uniform.

I mostly tend to alternate between the Odyssey uniform, the 29th Century Uniform and the DS9 Admiral uniform.

Don't like them much, I usually run around in my mirror Enterprise uniform and my terranised TWOK uniform.
