Not the biggest deal, but I'll see the blue shirt Bart design every now and again and wonder why they changed it.

Orange shirt introduces more complimentary colors which makes scene placement more dynamic.
Orange shirt.
Orange shirt.
I was always more partial to the Green Shirt.
I even got a green-shirt Bart toy for Christmas, one year.

It was always orange in the show and blue in licensed material. No idea how they landed on that though.

Dark blue and light blue hella contrast tho.
Hell, which are people more likely wear today? Or any day for the last 20 years.
Fox was in a rush to get merchandising going before the show aired so they used a temporary/beta art work of Bart instead of the final design. The design they picked just happened to have a blue shirt which then became the character reference for all the merchandising companies. At the time, Fox didn't see a reason to update the character reference sheets since they likely didn't foresee the orange shirt color becoming iconic. Plus, the manufacturing had already begun and you don't want to upset your partners by letting some companies have the official design while others were already stuck with blue shirt Bart products. Hence blue shirt Bart stuck around for a few years during the heyday of the Simpsons.
I am familiar with the works of Pablo Neruda.that's bart's soul

Purple shirt Bart
Wow, I had this key chain but I think it was classic orange shirt Bart.
Simpsons trademark/copyright stuff is so cool. I love how Matt Groening's signature has to be on EVERYTHING. Huge flex but mad respect to him.
I wonder how many of the infamous "Bootleg Bart" merch had blue vs. orange? It was a whole cottage industry of flagrant infringement on a scale so big it was even joked about in the show itself. Maybe it had an influence on the blue/orange policy.

This might be one of those moments we help someone realize they're colorblind.
I've seen people confuse red and brown, but red and orange is new to me.
