Undz, the Canadian underwear brand, chose an interesting inspiration for its John & Fidel underwear collection. The boxers features both John F. Kennedy and Fidel face-to-face with the statement "Viva la Sexual Revolution." Clearly trying to cause a stir, the brand has chosen perhaps the most provocative piece of clothing to make such a statement with. The underwear features vivid fluorescent colors and its designs are incredibly striking. Unfortunately, the pairs are available in men's sizes and styles only.
The Undz brand intends to send the entire collection to both the US president and Fidel Castro. Whether the leaders will receive the briefs is yet to be seen, but this company has proven its ability to generate buzz.
