Dear Modern Basketball Players

At the risk of seeming like I'm telling you to get off my lawn, you do realize the "shorts" you are wearing are now so long they look like you are wearing a skirt (or even a dress) don't you?

Wearing Granny's bloomers

There's a local restaurant here in town and they have a collection of basketball game photos from the local college teams. My sons laughed out loud when they saw the teeny short-shorts the players wore in the late 70's-early 80's.

To me, these long, floaty shorts look really silly. I guess I'm getting OLD...

...they look so much more comfortable than we did back in high school forty years ago in our short shorts that I have to say that, yes, this looks like a "get off my lawn" moment...

They're much better than the hot pants of the '70s.

they're call skorts

sukabi said...

skorts are kind of like sporks they have features of both products so have a flap/wrap in the front so they look like a skirt... culottes are the big, baggy, flowy shorts.

No matter they are called, they look funny.

Any longer and they'll qualify as harem pants.
