idk if they're supposed to be actual NX era uniforms

NX uniforms have long loose pants, Starbase 80 version had them tucked into the boots like the Cerritos uniforms

NX uniforms have silver rectangle rank pips, SB80 had gold circles

NX uniforms have an un zipped collar with exposed black undershirt, SB80 had a fully zipped chest with a dark blue ring around the neck

comparison with Mayweather from the offiical Lower Decks mobile game

Yes, they're not exactly the same. But they're clearly evocative of those unis, and part of the design lineage. Maybe a good comp would be what the LDS unis are to the TNG unis.
