coconutshell says: "Strangely enough, the US government experimented with Hypercolor for several years after it's discontinuation. They wanted to adapt the dye to make uniforms for prisoners and detainees that would help investigators and corrections officers know if a prisoner was lying. Unfortunately, since orange Hypercolor garments turn yellow when they're warm, detainees in Hypercolor prison-orange jumpsuits walked around looking as if they'd pissed themselves. A lawsuit was filed claiming this was abusively humiliating to prisoners, and the program was cancelled. The US government currently owns the patent for Hypercolor, but there is no information available as to whether or not they plan to use the technology for any future projects." I had the yellow-orange one...and I wanted a grey-white one for school...but my mum said no... I had a green one! I always thought Hypercolor shirts went great with a nice pair of Zubaz pants. What wver happened to those? Are they limited to Cincinatti Bengals fans now? I had one that had a man on the front and his clothes changed colors. |
