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.

Redshirt 

The person most likely to die first in any TV show, or film, regardless of what colour sweater they're wearing.
