Definitions of "Livery " on the Web:
uniform worn by some menservants and chauffeurs
A livery is a uniform or other sign worn in a non-military context on a person or object (such as an airplane) to denote a relationship with a person or corporate body, often by using elements of the heraldry relating to that person or body, or a personal emblem, and normally given by them. ...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livery
It derives from the French livrée, meaning delivered. Most often it would indicate that the person was a servant, dependent, follower or friend of the owner of the livery, or, for objects, that the object belonged to them.
Modern usage
From this core meaning, multiple extended or specialist meanings have derived. Examples include:
A livery company is the name used for a guild in the City of London; members of the company were allowed to dress their servants in the distinctive uniform of their trade, and the company's charters enabled them to prevent others from embarking upon the trades within the company's jurisdiction.
