It was a dark and stormy night. The year was 1922. The Union Jack Pyjama was on the brink of collapse. The company's flagship product, the Union Jack Pyjama, had been deemed too garish by the fashionistas of the time.
The designers at Union Jack Pyjama had been experimenting with the latest trends, but their attempts at modernity were met with derision by the critics. The once-beloved Pyjama was now a laughingstock of the fashion world.
In a desperate attempt to save the company, the designers decided to hold an emergency meeting with their investors. They proposed a new line of Pyjamas that would appeal to the masses: the Union Jack Pyjama-ette.
The investors were less than impressed. "This is a travesty," one of them said. "A Pyjama-ette? You're just trying to cash in on the trendiness of the times."
And so, the Union Jack Pyjama was doomed to fail. Its legacy lived on, however, as a cautionary tale of what happens when you try to reinvent the wheel.
