This was a branding practice I did when I was in the university. Stripes have been using in clothing for hundreds of years and it's still so popular these days. I was fascinated by this simple pattern and how complicated the meaning of it can be read.

 

In the Medieval times, it was seen as Devil's design, wearing stripes was a perilous act, only prisoners, criminals, clowns, prostitutes, hangmen etc would wear. Not until 16th century that things started to change.
