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.

    Our sailors have something similar, and I think other Navies too. Do you think there is an origin to these?

    Interesting question Eric. I haven't found an answer on google - yet!

    One 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.
