Line 127:
** It was also cheap.
* One general of the Takeda Cavalry of the Sengoku era was known for his men's red armour. In case you didn't know, the Takeda cavalry was known throughout Japan during that era as being the finest.
* In sports, red shirts are a popular choice. In [[The Beautiful Game|football/soccer]], at least two teams are nicknamed "Red Devils" (Manchester United and Belgium); England has it as secondary uniform, and since their only [[FIFA World Cup]] was won with a red kit, it's used for special occasions; and in a not-very-successful attempt, Germany used red for 4 years as a secondary kit in an attempt to intimidate (it has since been changed to black).
* [[The Fair Folk|Redcaps]] were named for their red caps. The red came from the blood of people they killed, which they did often, since the red would eventually fade.
* On a US Aircraft Carrier, flight deck crew wear different colors to denote their jobs. Those wearing red shirts handle ordinance.
