Brown ribbon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
