Till last year all the police in germany had uniforms with the
colors green, brown and beige. A picture showing this can
be found e.g. here:

Then Hamburg thought it's a cool idea to change that to blue.
Now other states in Germany start to copy that, e.g. Hessen:

Why? I don't know. Maybe there was too much money left.
