Swiss Guards, Protectors of the Pope, Don New Uniforms

October 3, 2025 by Kateri

Swiss Guards model the new military dress uniform in a courtyard of the Swiss Guards’ Vatican barracks during an Oct. 2, 2025, presentation. The uniform, an updated version of a historic uniform used from the late 1800s to 1976, will be used at important events.

The mostly wool military-dress uniform will not replace the iconic red, orange and blue uniforms for which the guards are famous.
