leopard88 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Bringing this back from the dead because . . . Manchester United has released a pink away kit for 2018-19. http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11667/11484191/manchester-united-unveil-pink-away-shirt-for-201819-season Ironically (or is it coincidentally), I'm currently wearing a polo shirt that is a only slightly darker shade of pink (about like this).

Gothamite Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Worth pointing out that the British don’t have the silly “pink = girls = cooties!” hangup that Americans do. Apparently that particular strain of toxic masculinity can’t cross the water. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently that particular strain of toxic masculinity can’t cross the water. The first pink shirt that I recall owning was purchased in London in 1986 (when I was 18) . . . while one of the other guys on the trip with me swore that he would never be caught dead in a pink shirt.* * -- His future wife bought him a pink shirt about three years later, which he has never been allowed to live down.

When I ordered our new soccer jerseys I wanted to get the pink jerseys fir our keeprs but they weren't available in XL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little off topic but in the arena. https://www.cbc.ca/radio/undertheinfluence/summer-series-guys-and-dolls-gender-marketing-1.4068879 2 quotes from this article (and I suggest downloading the accompanying podcast) that I find really interesting. Quote In the early 1900s, a major department store declared that pink was for boys and blue was for girls. Pink was considered the stronger colour – therefore more fitting for a boy. Blue was considered delicate, more feminine. Quote This gender colour coding stayed in place for more than twenty years, until after the Second World War, when department stores and manufacturers flip-flopped the colours – stating that pink was now a feminine colour and blue masculine. ........ back to jerseys now.
