Pole Red
Why are barber poles red and white, and what’s the meaning behind them?
*red, white and blue! Sorry
Barbers, being medieval surgeons, would be present at the birth of a child, and were there to cut the umbilical cord—a red (artery) and blue (vein) on a pale colour umbilical cord was passed to the parents by the barber after the umbilical cord had been cut, and this blue/red/pale tube or pole became the Barber’s pole, and the symbol of the pole represents a freshly cut umbilical cord.
