I’ve never seen Star Trek TOS so I don’t know for sure if this is explained anywhere. Does anyone know why they made the switch from red shirts to yellow shirts between commanding officers and security between TOS and TNG?

    And I think that sheds some light on it. Lots of positions were not red like enlisted officers white engineering uniforms, so it was really only all red for officers. If there highest ranked are red, then they go back to multiple colors, it would make sense for the command cluster to keep red.
