striped uniforms
Convict's banded clothing
Striped uniforms are clothing with parallel bands of contrasting colors, associated with several distinct contexts.
Horizontal stripes historically marked prisoners, particularly in concentration camps and American chain gangs: The inmates shuffled past in their striped uniforms.
In sports, referees wear black-and-white vertical stripes, making the stripes slang for officials.
Certain athletic teams also wear striped jerseys as part of their identity.
