Has been a long time since black and white was for prisoners, it is all orange isn't it. Now i don't like orange and that would be an extra punishment for me at least. Mimes I have seen wear whatever they like. Things are very different in your part of the country

So I had to look this up, obviously, knowing how cool mimes are, and what I found is a disappointing disconnect between the history of “prison stripes” vs “mime stripes”:
Prison stripes did originally symbolize bars, but all the variants of prison uniforms (striped or not) were primarily meant to be of a contrasting design from guards’, even from afar.
As for mimes, though, they did use it for the interesting purpose of optical illusions on a horizontal or vertical plane.
