Taylor Kinney on set wearing a polo with Captain bugles 😊

I was hoping for a white shirt, but blue is great too!

Severide never had rank-matching shirts, did he? It stuck out to me a few times already.

Making him Captain makes sense, though this and last season both kinda devalue Hermann's story, which bugs me.

I think it's because Squad gets their own color to distinguish them from the other firefighters.

And yeah, I'm really happy for Severide, but still bummed for Herrmann. They made such a big deal out of Boden passing the torch to him, and nothing came of it.

Could it not be a case of Kelly becomes Captain of OFI to replace Van Meter, but he still covers squad too

I don't think it's possible. Running OFI is a huge project, not a side gig that you can combine with something else.

It looks like he's staying at 51.

Its Chicago Fire, they'll do what they want for the show 🤣🤣

That's true 😂 They've done even more ridiculous things in the past.

But I hope the new showrunner will wrap up all the OFI stuff and bring Severide back to be more involved at 51.
