Line 119:

* [[Olivia (novel)|Olivia]] from the kids' books series of the same name wears red clothes instead of the color of her school team, because she <s>always wants to be the boss</s> is strong-willed and independent.

* In the [[Discworld]] book ''[[Discworld/Going Postal|Going Postal]]'', as the quote at the top of the page suggests, the postal workers come back from retirement wearing uniforms that are in no shape, form or shade uniform. Moist, in charge of all of them, also wears a rather striking uniform himself.

** The Ankh-Morpork City Watch is composed of so many different members of different shapes and sizes that being in uniform usually means being in whatever bits of uniform fitted. And since the force has expanded dramatically they are pretty much scrapping the bottom of the armory and pulling out all kinds antique equipment.
