Brown ribbon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A brown ribbon is a type of award given to winners of various contests. At county and state fairs in the United States, a brown ribbon is the award for placing eighth in a contest.^{[citation needed]} In Nazi Germany, the "Brown Ribbon" was an annual July horse race run in Munich from 1934 to 1944.^[1]

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.^{[citation needed]}
