I believe that aligns with Pete's quote "If you can’t be good, be colorful." |

What Neil Armstrong called the "Nearly Normal Nine" (in contrast to the preceding "Sacred Seven"). White is covering up the sewn-up gash on Borman's grape. As for Pete's suit, his Princeton training and sartorial taste has been discussed exhaustively in wider forums, so I reckon that he ignored the memo rather than missed it! | |
