Spent some TV time over the weekend watching the Skate Canada International from Victoria. American skater Johnny Weir's short program costume caught my eye. He skates to a piece of music that I later learned is called "King of Chess" by Silent Nick.  In the photo above you can clearly see the  outline of the Knight silhouette on the front of the costume and the theme continues onto the back with a similar outline of a Rook [if my memory is correct, which it sometimes isn't, but that's another story].

Weir just introduced the new short program last month, so it's likely to be in his performances for the rest of the skating season like the upcoming World Championships in Tokyo next March.
