...and totally hilarious. I have nothing to add here. I'll just cut and paste.
I laughed for half an hour (ok, maybe more. Maybe I'm still laughing and I saw this three hours ago).
More copywriter humour.
That Headline Doesn't Mean What You Think It Means
According to Wikipedia:
"A redshirt is a stock character, used frequently in science fiction but also in other genres, whose purpose is to die soon after being introduced, thus indicating the dangerous circumstances faced by the main characters. The term comes from the science fiction television series Star Trek, in which security officers wear red shirts and are often killed on missions under the aforementioned circumstances."

Redshirt (college sports)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Redshirt is a term used in American college athletics. Typically, four years of academic classes are required to obtain a bachelor's degree at an American college or university. A student's sport elegibilty is based on this timetable. Therefore, a student-athlete may only represent a school in any given sport for a total of four seasons. However, a student-athlete may opt to "Redshirt" for one year. "Redshirting" allows the student-athlete to spread those four years of eligibility over five years. In a "redshirt" year, a student-athlete may attend classes at the college/university and practice with an athletic team, however he or she may not appear in games. Using this mechanism, a student-athlete has up to five academic years to use the four years of eligibility, thus creating the phenomenon of "Fifth Year Seniors".
The term is often used as a verb: a coach may choose to redshirt a player.
The term has adopted a second meaning in elementary education, where it refers to the practice of delaying a child's entrance into kindergarten by a year to give the child an opportunity for further mental, physical, or socioemotional growth
