Since Jesus was considered the "good shepherd", the shape is symbolic of he shepherd's staff. the colors, red and white, represent Christ's blood which was shed for us and the white could be his body which was broken for us, or it could also represent the purity of Christ.

Why do candy canes have stripes?

Just for fun! Besides, who would want just a plain white piece of candy?AnswerThe cane itself represents a shepherd's crook. Some theologians believe the stripes represent the purity and blood of Jesus. Others disagree and believe they are simply "there". The man who invented the candy "cane", as a Christmas treat, wanted it to be a "J" to represent Jesus. However, people turned his "J"s upside down and called them 'candy canes'. Then people assumed they were meant to represent a shepherd's 'crook'. The part about the stripes representing the purity and blood of Jesus is true.
