The other three kinds have more paisley and are eye-catching as well with their bright, bold colors. The patterns and the colors are a reference to the 60s era when the Beatles were at their prime.

The legendary band was formed in 1960 in Liverpool which is at a distance of 23 miles to the east from Hoylake which is hosting the Open Championship. After the image was shared on Instagram fans can’t keep calm after that.
