Rainbow Wardrobe - my son is currently a blue shirt until all training and qualifications are met to become a Yellow shirt. He is the blue shirt on the left in the photo that I recently posted.

Color Coded Classification System
Those crewmembers who do have specific, clearly defined functions will be readily recognizable at a glance by the colored coded jerseys and helmets that denote their role. The color classification system is as follows:

Yellow Shirts-Controls/directs aircraft movement on the flight deck;
White Shirts-handles safety related jobs, including final inspections of airplanes and medical;
Brown Shirts-plane captains that watch over individual planes;
Blue Shirts-chock and chain planes in to position; drive the tractors that move the planes;
Green Shirts-attach planes to catapults and arresting gear;
Red Shirts-handles all weapons and ammunition;
Purple Shirts-fuel planes; and
Silver Suits-Handles aircraft crashes and fires.
