For those of you unaware, there is a British office phenomenom known as Pink Shirt Friday. The basic premise behind it: to prove their masculinity all men must come to work on a Friday dressed like a member of Westlife.
The trend has become so noticeable that there is even a website dedicated to it:

The history of Pink Shirt Friday is shrouded in myth and legend.
Many believe that it originated over two millennia ago, where many were persecuted for their love of wearing pink shirts on Friday. The Templar Knights were believed to have died protecting pink shirts. There are those that believe that Pink Shirt Friday came into existence at the same time as the universe did. Religious people say that after Adam and Eve sinned and had to start wearing clothes, they wore pink shirts on Fridays. There are even some that believe that Pink Shirt Friday is older than the universe itself. Before the universe came into existence, there was nothing....and Pink Shirt Friday.
The modern revival of the custom of wearing a pink shirt on Friday is one that is even more a mystery. No one knows exactly why it has happened.
Do you have any theories as to why the resurgence has occurred?
