DSC characters in TOS uniforms - which colors would they wear?

If DSC adopted the TOS uniform scheme right now - which I dearly hope will happen - which colors would each character wear?

Some are obvious, such as gold for Saru, and blue for Burnham, Stamets and Culber. If I interpret the other characters correctly, then, would it be like this:

Rhys = red (tactical officer)
Detmer = gold (helm)
Owosekun = red (operations)
Bryce = red (communications)

Not sure about Tilly or Airiam. Has it ever been established just what their specific duties are? I'm having trouble pinning down which TOS colors they would wear.

 

she's part of the science department, so a blue shirt.
and since, statistically, blue shirts have the lowest risk of being painfully killed, I hope she stays one for a very long time

 

Just look at the metal parts of their uniforms.

Gold = Gold
Silver = Blue
Copper = Red

 

Wouldn't the fact that Tilly is in the command training program suggest that she would wear gold?

 

Spock was in the command branch while also being a science officer in blue

 

True dat. But it could be up to personal preference, at least for senior officers like Spock was in TOS.

Notice that in WNMHGB, Spock wore gold. Perhaps he later decided that he was a scientist first, and a commander second, which would explain why he changed to blue in TOS even though (IIRC) he was always the XO, even in WNMHGB.

Tilly, OTOH, has always aspired to command, so maybe she would wear gold from the get-go.

 

of course he'd rather live than die on a random away mission. statistically, gold shirts had the highest risk of dying

 

Currently she's assigned to Engineering.

 

then what is she doing in Stamets' shroom lab?

 

Really? How many goldshirts died in TOS? I can only think of one (Matt Decker).

Contrast this with the dozens of redshirt deaths...

 

Engineering. And stuff that's fucking fricking cool.

 

Tomilinson for one.

 

55 total deaths in 3 seasons, all shirt colors combined, and, yes, red shirts perished in frightening numbers. A whopping 24 died, compared to 9 in yellow/gold command and 7 in blue, with 15 crossing into the final frontier in unidentified colors. However, it’s all a matter of perspective and percentages. There were 430 crewmen aboard the Enterprise, 239 of them in engineering, security or operations, and all wore red. So, in reality, they had a decent survival rate, and it was, statistically speaking – courtesy of a little something called Bayes’ theorem -- the folks in gold who were more likely to meet their maker.

Only 10% of the entire redshirt population was lost during the three year run of Star Trek. This is less than the 13.4% of goldshirts, but more than the 5.1% of blueshirts. What is truly hazardous is not wearing a redshirt, but being a member of the security department. The red-shirted members of security were only 20.9% of the entire crew, but there is a 61.9% chance that the next casualty is in a redshirt and 64.5% chance this red-shirted victim is a member of the security department. The remaining redshirts, operations and engineering make up the largest single population, but only have an 8.6% chance of being a casualty.

 

Where do those crew percentages/numbers come from? Over half the crew are redshirts?

James Grime, the mathematician who came up with the statistic used this page

as source for his calculations, according to this article

 

I wonder where they got their numbers? Specifically the number of "redshirts" in the crew. Star Trek.com is often as reliable as Mark Cushman.

 

Tilly should be in gold and black.

Oh....and I've been looking for a good excuse to post this:

 

That entire image is one that I came across on google, when looking for something else. I don't know who did it, but the color looks very good.
