Not about Speedos, but short shorts.

Rugby is now adopting the shorter look:

These vids were recently posted so there's definitely an emerging trend.

To mix topics, I have a acquaintance who is a serious beach volleyball player and he said that he know one person who always competes in a speedo and has seen other do so occasionally. The regular thinks it give him a psychological advantage.

Looks like table tennis in 2016 is off to a really good start:

I got a catalog in the mail for a company called "Bonobos" that sells men's casual wear and swim suits.

Interestingly, the company offers short swimming shorts more like the 1960s vintage trunks.

Here's an update on this topic.

A friend and I were riding home along a large street here in San Francisco and there's a wide tree covered jogging lane off of the side of the street.

I noticed a group of about 12 young men (probably in their very early 20s or possibly late teens) were out jogging in some kind of group run. All of them were in 1980s vintage running shorts.

My guess is they were part of a track and field team from a nearby college or a high school. Where ever they came from, it was great to see the traditional running shorts back in style.

After seeing this topic, I realized that I have been seeing more casual "short shorts" on men, here in ultra-conservative Utah, lately. Seems to be a growing trend, here, as well as elsewhere.

I would not be surprised if the company that makes Chubbies helped instigate the return of the men's short short to the US. When they first launched in 2011, their motto was 'Sky's out--Thighs out!" and, I just saw on their website, today, an update to that thought, "We believe in the right your quads have to a life of freedom and sunshine"!

They are a bit pricey, but, obviously, their sales have continued and grown, contributing to men wearing shorter shorts. You may want to check them out, if you haven't already.

I haven't been near that 1-1/2 mile long running track that goes around the waterfront in San Francisco.

However I've gotten a glimpse of the section that runs past the super market where I shop and I see a lot of guys out in traditional running shorts. Those shorts look like they are Nike, Adidas, or some other popular brand.

So if you want the pre 90s style, they're definitely out there!!!
