Collection Highlight - Gay Games IV Team Auckland Uniform Vest, Doris de Pont, 1994
30 years ago, on the 18th June 1994, 30 athletes from Auckland were in New York for the Gay Games IV, which were timed to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. A desire to have a team uniform led Ron Judd to approach designer Doris de Pont to create one for them. She asked Adrienne Foote (Footeprints) to modify one of her fabric designs.
