Answers:
It is thought that after the fall of the Byzantine Empire nearly six hundred years ago the imperial chefs who sought refuge in monasteries in Italy adopted the black habits of the monks.
During that era the chefs also decided that their clothes should look different from those worn by the real monks and abbots and changed their habit to a white garment.
Today the only remaining symbol of that habit is the hat which represents the Bishops Mitre.
The current internationally used cooks uniform has mainly evolved over the past hundred years and comes particularly from Europe.
The above is taken from a Chef's course but there is no definitive answer why the checks.
it hides the mess they wipe on them self's ..

Cooks are generally a bit crazy and do funny things..No explaining them
its a mind trick, the blue and or green are positive colours, the checked pattern is so you don't focus on any one part of the body, this is all to hide the stains but show them off as the hard work of a chef/cook plus some use the patterns and colour on rank, like head chef, starter etc etc.
It could be the uniform provided by the laundry service. Or some higher up chefs can buy their own pants like ones with funky colors and jalapenos on them and stuff. So it's either mandated or personal preference.
I always had to wear black and white checked pants.
i thought it was black & white checkered trousers
Its a pattern no one else would ever wear ;-) so the diner can tell the difference between kitchen saff and other staff. I presume??
Because they've got no fashion sense and they think they're cool
