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. Tradition has it that he was so impressed by the bravery of Swiss mercenaries that he asked them to defend the Vatican. 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.
