Althea Gibson

Gibson wore white polos throughout her career as a tennis champion, oftentimes even covering them with cardigans during her matches. In 1956, she became the first Black athlete to win a Grand Slam title and earn back-to-back titles at Wimbledon and the US Championships. P.S. she was a pro golfer too.
