While the TV shows are canonical (as are the movies (except where continuity fails, cf. /Enterprise/)), using a screencap is close to original research and on dangerous ground wrt. using "fair use" as an excuse for copyright infringement.
I would put it like this: relying exclusively on primary sources doesn't give you much room to move without straying into original research. A good secondary source (they must exist for this topic) would give this article a solid base to stand on.

This feels like ground we covered on the fancruft thread a while back. That is using primary sources exclusively *IS* limiting but in this case if you are only using them as evidence for what the uniforms look like, then they should be fine. The result will be a very short article or possibly a stub, but there is no reason to delete that.
