I wonder then if they're doing away with redshirts. Obviously it could just be a mistake, but considering that neither the Kelvin nor the first two pilots had red uniforms it's a possibility.
That would be too sad

Canonically it probably would make sense, since both "the cage" and "where no man has gone before" -which are closest in timeline to the new series- don't have redshirts but only blue and yellow uniforms. But this is one of the instances where I would be happy if they ignore old canon. Gotta' love me some redshirts!
