Lieutenant Colonel Loic Marc Rossier, left, and Captain Lorenz Keusch pose for reporters as they present the Swiss Guard Mezza-Gala uniform in the Swiss Guard Barracks at the Vatican, Thursday, Oct. 2, 2025. But don’t worry: The Swiss Guards’ famed blue, yellow and red Renaissance-style billowy garb isn’t going anywhere. Col. Christoph Graf, the Swiss Guards commander, donned the new duds at a presentation ceremony in the army’s barracks ahead of the annual swearing-in ceremony Saturday of 27 new recruits. Visitors to the Vatican will also see guards policing the city state’s main entrances in navy uniforms topped with a beret. “What we have experienced now in this one year alone, other Swiss Guards haven’t experienced in their whole service time,” he said.
