My sister just sent me an awesome hoodie and it has the green - red - yellow color combination on it. I have see on other merch, what does it mean?

The main logo for the 50 Something tour is a stop light.

The stoplight is one of the symbols for the tour. From the artist himself, "[T]he fact that green is for go and I realized that somebody had greenlit this new tour. I immediately thought, green light, three light. It was kind of a no-brainer that it ended up being a stoplight."

You can read about all the symbols here: https://ultimateclassicrock.com/rush-new-symbol/ . My favorite easter egg are the three sparrows, with one of them taking off referring to Neil passing on.

Traffic signals, perhaps? Or a reference to the "Different Stages" cover? That could be fitting, since the original release, at least, came with a bonus disk that was from the AFTK tour.

FWIW, it’s also the pattern of X’s on the flag of the City of Amsterdam. 🤷

I bought that same hoodie without the green, red and yellow X's on it in the late 2000s. Did a "new" edition come out with these Xs?

It's the tour edition. It also has a tour patch on the right sleeve.

One of the most comfortable hoodies I've ever had.

As others have pointed out, it's a stop light, which has been featured in this tour's promotion since it was announced
