They weren’t exactly uniforms they wore (like the silver ones) and they were presumably presumably able to manufacture them. So why not different colorful clothes for every episode, or at least some variations and alternatives for each character?

The short answer is that CBS was notoriously tight-fisted or cheap when it came to budgets for their programming. So certainly corners were cut wherever possible.
