I freely confess (not for the first time, too) in being ignorant on many aspects of US politics, history and whatnot. This article only added to my state of general confusion.

I think they are black. It is the contrast with brown skin that tricks one into thinking the uniforms are brown, I think.
Why don't I buy this explanation, zkharya?
Yes the uniforms are definitely black, though not very stylish. They cannot compare to Mussolini's Black Shirts. Now those were folks dressed in a type of black that was very fashionable! (joke)
The color involved in the following story is very much a bright red:

I still suspect they are brown, David. As for the Boudreau / O'Keefe story: yeah, it is bright red. And quite stupid, too.
It's a trick of the light. I'm thinking the uniforms are black.
Which, undoubtedly, makes them sweaty and uncomfortable in that hot sun.
I've asked SWMBO. She sez brown....
