Brown ribbon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brown ribbon

At county and state fairs in the United States, a brown ribbon is the award for placing eighth in a contest.

Brown ribbons have also been proposed by comedian George Carlin as a cynical response to the preponderance of other ribbons as symbols of political or social movements. The color is meant to imply a scatological frame of mind.
