This shows the rank insignia as a uniform rectangle with a black border.
Most other comics don't have a black border, and different parts of the
rank insignia may be different widths. Also, notice that Wedge's red sash is going over a shoulder epaulet. More on this later on.
Here Tycho gives us our first good look at the stripes down the sides
of the pants, a detail not shown in any other comic (the pants
are solid black in every other source).
Notice here the red sash stops at the belt, both front and back.

Here's another view of the striped pants and the sash stopping at the
belt.

Back to the shoulder epaulets. In each of these three pictures, the
red sash is underneath one. No other comics show an epaulet. Even Tycho
(right picture) has them here, while he didn't in earlier pictures (above).
Now the red sash is going down to the bottom in back.

Here Wedge shows us the "canon" weapon to go with the uniform. *g* Another
view of red-sash-over-epaulets, rank insignia, striped pants and sash-stopping-at-belt.
