Could not think of the Golden Jersey. I tried Shirt, jacket, vest...everything but jersey. Great quiz though.

Usually known by its French name here in the UK (maillot jaune). Took me a while to guess jersey, since that means a sweater here.

I was hoping to see Razzies and Darwin Awards in here. Would have made it a bit more fun.

If you want to add another challenging one, there's the Slammy Awards for wrestling.

Please please please accept "Maillot" for jersey. When it didn't work I just assumed I was mistaken.

If the clue was "____ Jeune" the answer would be Maillot. However the clue is "Yellow ____ " so the expected answer must be in English.

When they provide links to reputable sources, they can be considered factual and take their place in a quiz among awards for verifiable achievements.

In the era of Covid, it's been rebranded as the Herman Cain Award.

more an act of homicide (along with hundreds of thousands of others) than noble suicide... and the guy responsible would not deserve to receive a Darwin award as, unlike Cain, he got the finest care possible at Walter Reed.

I *think* that Irish and South African writers could always also receive the Booker Prize, and both of those countries aren't in the Commonwealth.
