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?

    Militaries change uniforms all the time, sometimes arbitrarily. Some board comes up with the change and then everyone complains or makes fun of it at first and then eventually everyone just accepts it. Also, there were at least 3 uniform changes between TOS and TNG that we know of. The ones we’ve seen before TNG (ST2-ST6) are all red.
