Game of Thrones: Sand Snakes Nipple-Adorned Armour Revealed

As it’s between seasons it has been a while since the Game of Thrones crew have annoyed me, but they’re at it again. So firstly they’ve taken three very distinctive characters, Nym, Tyene and Obara Sand – Oberyn Martell’s illegitimate daughters – and dressed them all in matching costumes. No I don’t get it either. Secondly they have added nipples to their leather breastplates. Now I know last season we saw the fireballs being thrown and clearly Dan and Dave are trapped in the 1980’s but that is no excuse for boob armour.

Vulture rather amusingly accused the Game of Thrones costume department of trolling George R.R. Martin. There is a legend that the saying ‘as useless as nipples on a breastplate’ introduced in A Clash of Kings was George’s literary revenge against Joel Schumacher for the Bat-nipples. While a search for ‘nipples’ in your Song of Ice and Fire eBooks brings up rather more incidents than the use of this phrase, it appears it is a favourite saying of the Lannisters.
