Jockeying For First
This one is a little bit confusing. Not because of the publicity, but rather because before a race, jockeys undoubtedly train a great deal while wearing their outfits. So there shouldn’t be any reason why your pants should suddenly start to slip down as you run along the track, should there? Tell that to rider Blake Shinn, though, who took this picture after the bottom of his uniform fell down during a race.
We are unable to fathom the humiliation that must have followed this circumstance. Shinn persisted though, finishing the race and giving it his best in front of the crowd and the cameras.
When You Accidentally Declare War
Many incidences using the Philippine flag have occurred, however not all of them include athletic gear. This, however, does. Sprinters Kayla Richardson and Eric Cray’s clothing caught our attention during a Southeast Asian Games expedition. Their uniforms featured an upside-down flag. It’s hardly a big deal, but the Philippines only flips their flag so that the red stripe is on top when there is hostilities.
Fortunately, it turned out that there was no genuine battle going on and that the suppliers were to blame for the error. When it was revealed, we’re certain that some people breathed a sigh of relief.
