The CHERUB T-shirt's are a way of identifying the rank of a person on cherub campus. The system was introduced in 1957.
T-shirts[]
Orange[]
The orange shirt is for guests on campus and possible new recruits. Cherubs are only allowed to talk to someone in an orange shirt if the Chairman grants them permission; otherwise they will have to say ”Can’t talk to orange.”
Red[]
Red shirts are worn by Cherubs who are not qualified to enter training. This is usually because they are under 10 years of age; however it could be due to the reason that a recruit cannot meet the standard requirements to begin basic training. This is considered very humiliating. Cherub accepts children from age 6 upwards, giving them the best possible chance to pass basic training. Sometimes a younger child is admitted if they have an older brother or sister.
Blue[]
This is the trainee shirt, shown here with trainee number. No kid wants to be in a blue shirt. Basic training is the toughest 100 days of a Cherub's life, unless they are captured on a mission.
Grey[]
An agent earns the grey shirt if they make it through basic training and qualify as an agent.
[]
The navy t-shirt is awarded for outstanding performance on a single mission. This can take multiple missions to acheive, as it is highly unlikely an agent will get outstanding performance in their very first mission.
Black[]
The black shirt is awarded for outstanding performance over a number of missions. They are given entirely at the discretion of the Chairman. 50% of Cherubs can expect to receive one before they retire.
White[]
Most Cherub's retire at 17 years of age. They are given a white shirt when they come back to visit friends, assist in activities and challenges or attend a reunion. Many CHERUB staff also wear the white shirt.
Dave, Kyle, Amy and McEwen(website empty) are the the most well-known to have earnt a white shirt.
