Debate over 'The Jacket’ color goes viral on Tumblr, exactly one year after ‘The Dress’ broke the Internet


Does the jacket match the dress?
One year to the day after a multicolored dress sparked an international debate over whether or not it was black and blue or white and gold, a different clothing item is the talk of the web.
Nina Penzo, also known as Tumblr user poppunkblogger, posted an image of an Adidas jacket and asked what color it appeared to fellow users.
Is it black and brown? Is it green and gold? What about green and brown?
Penzo told ABC News that the jacket is actually baby blue and white, but still took to Tumblr to enlist the help of the social media users.
"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," Penzo wrote.
WHITE AND GOLD? BLUE AND BLACK? 'THE DRESS' SPARKS WORLDWIDE DEBATE
Since the image was posted on the social media site Thursday, it has received more than 16,000 reblogs.
"I had no intention of it blowing up," Penzo said. "I didn't think it would get as big as it did."
The post left thousands of Tumblr and Twitter users divided, just like the dress did in 2015.
A BuzzFeed poll reported that 72% of people found the dress to be blue and white, while 10% believed it was black and brown. The other voters thought it could be green and gold or green and brown.
"Whoever is saying that Adidas jacket is white and blue...y'all color blind," Twitter user Sabs wrote.
User Han said she was going crazy of the jackets color.
"ITS BABY BLUE AND WHITE PLEASE SOMEONE," she wrote.
