Colorful Governor's Jackets...
Navigation
One of the newest Rotary traditions began in 1984-85 when the district governors decided to wear a distinctive yellow sport coat to official Rotary events. In succeeding years the president of Rotary International has selected a colorful jacket for the district governors and other international officers of Rotary. The distinctive yellow jacket of Carlos Canseco was followed by such blazing colors as Paulo Costas’s “green coats” (1990-91), Clifford Dochterman’s “red coats” (1992-93), Luis Giay’s “brick coats” (1996-97), and Glen Kinross’ “sea foam green” (1997-98). Preident Rajendra Saboo selected “wheat-colored tan” (1991-92) and Hugh Archer picked maroon (1989-90). Other tradtitional navy blue jackets were worn during the years of Charles Keller (1987-88), Bill Huntly (1994-95), Herbert Brown (1995-96) and James Lacy (1998-99). An array of colors and shades has been picked by other presidents. Rotarian leaders annually speculate on the jacket color to be worn by the incoming world Rotary president.
