The Star Trek Ties are made for die-hard Trekkies who have come to terms with the fact that flamboyantly parading their obsession is not necessarily good for their social life. A subtle menswear accessory, these ties allow people to satisfy their inner geek without scaring anyone away in the process.
Designed by ThinkGeek, the Star Trek Ties are available in three colors, each denoting the particular fantasy job Trekkies wish they had. Gold represents command, blue symbolizes science and red stands for engineering. People can pretend to be Captain Kirk, Spock and Scotty, respectively. According to ThinkGeek, the hues are an "exact color match to the 1969 Original Series." They are made out of high quality, double-knit nylon.
