Racine Teens From Park High School Go Viral After Wearing Matching Jeans With Principal

The principal teased the boys when they arrived at school with the same flashy jeans and soon received a pair of his own.

RACINE - Two teenagers and a principal from Park High School have gone viral Thursday when a picture of the three wearing flashy jeans appeared on the Internet.

Laron Franklin, 15, and Jaisjuan Brown, 16, ended up wearing the same matching blue jeans with pseudo white paint spatters all over them. Principal Jeff Miller, 40, ended up good-naturedly ribbing the two about their choice of matching attire and with the help of three teachers, he received his own pair that day.

According to an article on Buzzfeed, Miller says he was flattered his tweet went viral, as his usually go unnoticed and said wearing the jeans wasn't a big deal, adding "I have worn dresses, had my head colored on, taken pies in the face, so I really did not think that this would be any different."
