The Mexican navy was in town
These two representatives of the Mexican navy were engaged in lively conversation in central Sydney. I love the stripey shirt of the one on the right.

ReplyDeleteAnd I love people photos! Great pic!
ReplyDeleteone doesn't see sailors very often, nice =)
ReplyDeleteOur sailors have something similar, and I think other Navies too. Do you think there is an origin to these?
ReplyDeleteInteresting question Eric. I haven't found an answer on google - yet!
ReplyDeleteOne thing worth noting though - French navy (the colour) is slightly different to "navy" . I assume both colour names derive from the blue colours adopted in the respective navies of France and Britain.
how did i miss this!
ReplyDeletegreat catch, sally :) i didnt know that sailors still wear such design..cute :D
