The stripes on the Tallis (prayer shawl) are a reminder that we are missing the sky-blue techelet. In biblical times the fringes consisted of blue thread and white threads. The stripes remind us of the missing blue ones, since the formula for making the blue dye was lost. See http://www.answers.com/topic/tzitzit for more information.
