Adidas jacket debate goes viral one year after ‘the Dress’

A year after “the Dress” broke the Internet, friends and families are divided yet again, this time over the actual color of an Adidas jacket.

It all started when Tumblr user Nina, a 16-year-old from Southern California who goes by the handle poppunkblogger, turned to her followers to settle a dispute she was having with a friend as to whether a particular item of clothing was black and brown or white and blue

“I hate to make a new blue/black white/gold dress meme but my friend has this jacket and she says it’s white and blue but i see black and brown pls tell me what you see,” she wrote.

Unlike the dress, which divided people firmly into two camps (blue and black against white and gold), the jacket has elicited a wider ranging response. It’s hard to tell just how many people are submitting what they see in good faith, but the responses run the gamut.

After it went viral, her friend commented, “NINA WHAT DID YOU DO[?]” to which she replied “IDK IM SORRY IM SCARED IM SO SCARED IM CRYING.”

When contacted by Yahoo News, Nina said, "It's really overwhelming! I had no intentions of it ever getting this big but now that it has, I'm really excited to see where it goes next."

So what do you think? Is it white and blue, black and brown or something else entirely?
