I've seen a few pics of the Army's new uniform. Out of curiosity, mostly from a historical viewpoint, do officers wear rank and corps on the collar of the khaki shirt? Or do they wear shoulder marks like the old pickle greens and new ASUs? Also, secondary question, back in the day the garrison cover had the corps color as trim for enlisted, officer gold and black, etc. Are they going with that again?

What you are calling Corps is the branch insignia. If there are shoulder marks/boards for rank, it will be unlikely you'll see Branch insignia. 85% of the time you identify the officer branch from their regimental affiliation, represented by the DIstinctive Unit Insignia or Regimental Insignia over the Name tag on the left chest in a Class B situation.
This is all up in the air until he final decisions come from the Army Uniforma Board and the CSA.

Reference the infantry and corps colors on the garrison cap: prior to and in the early part of WW2 the US Army garrison cap had infantry and corps colors on the garrison cap. At some point, which I'm sure one can find on wikipedia, the army decided it was too costly and troublesome and discontinued the colors for the enlisted man's uniform. The cap for officers continued to have piping, silver & black for warrant officers, gold & black for officers, gold for general officers.
