The Best Trends Ever Made in Sportsere Histroy

[TheRealPepman]

If there's the WORST. Then there's the BEST.

Now here's my list:

1. Bulls' black socks- They started it in 1996 as times goes by, it became the it trend of the basketball. Today, most players use this trend. Actually, Michigan's Fab Five first did this during the mid-90's.

Go and get your list.

The Bulls didn't start anything. The Fab Five (Michigan) were wearing black socks a long time before the Bulls. Heck I was even wearing black socks in basketball games before the Bulls.

Reasonable length basketball shorts. There was a good decade and half or so between the plum smugglers and the super longs of today's game.

[mcrosby]

I'd say the addition of the horn to the very first Rams helmet, that started a pretty good thing

[jrodsep]

The baggy basketball shorts started by MJ...

[oz615]

Teams wearing white shoes on the road (Texas,Washington,Auburn)

women's tennis skirt/ blouse hemlines getting shorter...you know for better range of motion

[chuckymack]

The throwback. I always dig 'em when they're done correctly.

Not to mention clingier. For... um... comfort?

And while we're here, LPGA golf has certainly stepped up it's game with flirty skirts instead of practical trousers. For motion range, obviously.

I pray whatever they're doing in women's beach volleyball continues.

[winghaz]

Football facemasks that match the team's colors.

[JQK]

Football teams returning to the gray facemask.

Which puts you, the Bulls and the Fab Five with one thing in common. Poor sock taste.

Football teams wearing white at home

it's starting to fade away now because of restrictions in the ncaa and high school, but when players would match the visor to their team's color. still happens in the nfl with like ronnie brown wearing the sun burst visor, but i used to love to see players going out of the way to match their visor with their uni.

[ShaftDu]

Football teams returning to the gray facemask.

facemasks in general were itself a great trend, could you image if we didn't have those. We would be playing with leather helmets.

[KDubK414]

The trend of more players in baseball period, going to the socks/stirrups over the pants. Should be a mandatory uni. implementation all over baseball.

[Ron Mexico]

When baseball teams went back to button up jerseys.

[lahaye7]

I wonder sometimes if this was the case, tackling would be better, instead of launching oneself as a missile. Anyway, the grey facemask is cool, if you had it previously as part of your throwback uni (Colts, Giants, Browns) Cards did too, but looks like crap with their modern uni

I like the trend started in the NHL of some kind of horn going off after the home team scores a goal. I THINK it was begun by either the Sabres at the Aud or the Blackhawks at Chicago Stadium. However it began in the NHL, it was a cool idea since each team had a pretty distinct one for the most part. Now however, many teams sound pretty similar. It is still cool however.
