The person most likely to die first in any TV show, or film, regardless of what colour sweater they're wearing.
Taken from Star Trek the Original Series, where the security guards wore red, one always 'beamed down' from the spaceship to planets on exploratory missions and always died first. Always.
Don't ever wear a red shirt on a space mission!

A play on college sports' "Redshirt" rule: they can't play, but they're still a part of the team.
Redshirt is another name that refers to underage girls (typically between the ages 16-17).
They're "a part of the team" = you can check them out, but "they cannot play" = you can't have sex with them because that's illegal.

The name of a group that is helding a rally in Thailand. They call themselves Red Shirts People and they wear red shirts.
Redshirts people support Thailand's ex prime minister, Thaksin Shinwatra.
This search keyword, "redshirts", is very popular now in twitter. Opposite groups some time call them "red buffaloes" as "buffaloes" in Thai means "stupid". This is an insult but ... it's a fact.

Nickname for a new Nationalist workers and soldier boys party. Not to be confused with the British redcoats, people actually want to be like the redshirts.
Gonna wear my red shirt to fit in with the redshirts. You blend in you'll do well here, you stand out they already have your train ticket for the next one going to ouchweist. Nobody that gets on that train gets a second chance to tell their family they love them, they never see them again.
