DescriptionColoured image by Sally Samins of Warren Jones, Project Manager of AUSTRALIA II, at the press conference after the seventh race in the Americas Cup, 26 September 1983. Jones is wearing a red card with a Smiley face on it around his neck. This card was awarded to any crew member who swore or behaved badly at dinner and was worn around the neck until someone else earned the right to it. It was recorded that Jones was the last man to wear it. SignificanceWarren Jones also devised the Boxing Kangaroo flag that became the logo of the challenge, and has subsequently spread into other Australian sporting endeavours.
