Answer:
Quoting Rahulk
A “redshirt” is a stock character in fiction who dies soon after being introduced. The term originates with fans of Star Trek , from the red shirts worn by Starfleet security officers who frequently die during episodes. Redshirt deaths are often used to dramatize the potential peril that the main characters face.

Here the gingerbread men are going to be eaten and therefore “redshirt”.

    In this FoxTrot comic, the gingerbread is about to be devoured – and hence the “redshirt” :D

    a red shirt’s fate is sealed.

    Captain Kirk, Spock, McCOy and ensign Ricky go down to the alien planet…. Guess who’s not coming back…


  4. shrik Says:

    Because they’re the expendable red-shirted Starfleet officers.

  6. Logik Says:

    A redshirt character in StarTrek indicates he is going to die soon – A cliche of sorts.
    in this case, the gingerbread in red shirts will soon be eaten.

    It symbolizes the core members of the operations team who were always killed first in start trek whenever a baddie tried to attack…

    It symbolizes the core members of the “Operations” team in Star Trek who were always the men who used to be killed first or during the introduction whenever a baddie attacked.
