 .png) The argyle (occasionally argyll) pattern is made of diamonds in a diagonal checkerboard arrangement. The word is sometimes used to refer to an individual diamond in the design but more commonly refers to the overall pattern. Most argyle layouts contain layers of overlapping motifs, adding a sense of three-dimensionality, movement, and texture. The argyle pattern is derived from the tartan of Clan Campbell, of Argyll in western Scotland. [1] It was much used in the football dress of the early 1900s, both for jerseys and for the long socks needed for the plus-fours trouser fashion of the day. Payne Stewart (1957-1999), who won the U.S. Open and a PGA championship, was known and loved by fans for his bright and "flashy" dress; he wore tams, knickers, and argyle socks. [2] It has seen a resurgence in popularity in the last few years, due to its adoption by John Stockton in collections produced by luxury clothing manufacturer, Pringle of Scotland.[citation needed] Argyle socks are worn by revivalist golfers playing with hickory clubs in the pre-1930 style. The University of North Carolina men's basketball team jerseys have an argyle pattern on the sides. The Garmin-Slipstream professional cycling team is well known for the argyle they sport on their jerseys. They have been nicknamed the Argyle Armada as a result As a knitting pattern, argyle is generally accomplished using the intarsia technique. Argyle patterns can also be woven. In many communities, December 1st is recognized as the unofficial Argyle day[citation needed]. Members of the community are encouraged to wear argyle. [edit] Notes and references
