Its also interesting to see a video of a basketball game from the '80's, the shorts really are short, higher than mid thigh, they are so short they remind me of speedos. I guess it was the baggy gang clothing fad that got basketball shorts past knee length, it can't be efficient. Nothing lasts forever. That fad has overstayed its welcome.
When we read history of the original olympic games in Greece the competitors were all male and competed nude, women were not allowed to view the games, their men feared they would be so smitten by the sight of fit young lads that they would never relate sexually with their husbands again. And we know ancient Greece had different standards on homosexuality than the modern world, it wasn't merely tolerated, it was celebrated--in the right context. Those athletes, those finely tuned young athletes, the mind reels.

ancient ideals
Agree on shorts for basketball - boxing attire has gone ridiculously long too.
If it wasn't for the economic difficulties in the EuroZone I would say let's all go to Greece (interesting to note that DeCoubertain first got his ideas for an olympiad after watching the way games were played at English public schools). NJH: I am still frustrated in understanding the tiny roundel and line of text beneath on those three w.p suits. A crest or badge is also faintly discernible at the right hip but do you notice that only the guy at far left has something red at the seam of his left leg opening?

Those suits are hot... and the guys in them are too... they also are very well equipped young men...
