I wondered why jockeys always wear white pants

Googly eyes wikipedia
Jockeys wear white pants (known as breeches) primarily due to tradition and
status. [1]
The tradition dates back to the 18th and 19th centuries when horse riding
was largely an aristocratic sport. Because white clothing gets dirty
easily, wearing it on a muddy horse was a deliberate flex to prove you had
the wealth to afford hired help to do the messy work and cleaning. [1, 2,
3, 4]
Today, while the colorful shirts (silks) are used to identify the horse's
owner, the white pants remain to: [1]
Honor Equestrian Roots: They maintain a sharp, uniform look that respects
the rich history of horse racing.
Highlight Technique: In many equestrian sports, white pants help judges
clearly see and evaluate a rider's leg positioning, balance, and form. [1,
2, 3, 4]
While a few modern racing events have experimented with different pants for
charitable causes, white remains the worldwide standard. [1, 2, 3]
