bigwalk Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 ShortsNew shorts, which I'd imagine we'll see in China pretty soon. Only one change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgd Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 That see thru is horrible! It's a ok concept (lighter, breathable) but when you can tell if the kid is wearing boxers or briefs that's a problem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trident M Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 That's going to look absurd, especially for the white players. Mariners | Sounders FC | Seahawks | Washington State Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohryan Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I don't understand the new obsession with making basketball shorts lighter when the players wear them past their knees. It seems like cutting a few inches off the bottom would get rid of more weight than making holes in the material. If players are so concerned with their shorts weighing too much, why not just go back to shorter shorts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyDingis Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 The only design difference between these and the ones they've worn for years (that I can see) is that there's no ball and hoop in the middle of the D. Hardly anything to get too excited about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thespleenenator Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Well, I can tell you one thing: No Duke basketball player is going to go commando during a game, that's for damn sure. Why you make fun of me? I make concept for Auburn champions and you make fun of me. I cry tears.Chopping off the dicks of Filipino boys and embracing causes that promote bigotry =/= strong moral character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Is this the material that the Bobcats jerseys were supposed to be made out of???

illini1 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Well, I can tell you one thing: No Duke basketball player is going to go commando during a game, that's for damn sure.All the players wear compression shorts underneath the basketball shorts anyway, so I don't know why everyone is making a fuss about the holes.

Hardly anything to get too excited about.Yeah that's the only difference I see tooI think it's actually a substantial difference. The rebradning is making this particular D (no hoop, no Devil head), the official university logo. It's a small change on the shorts, but a fairly substantial one around campus...and it's a change a good number of fans are not happy about.

And one that must be rectified. (While we are at it, we need to get the black off of the white and blue jerseys). The Duke Basketball logo with the ball and hoop (no Devil head has ever appeared on a uniform) dates back to 1973. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If players are so concerned with their shorts weighing too much, why not just go back to shorter shorts?Short shorts look ridiculous. This isn't 1970 or something, back when basketball players wore daisy dukes. Unless nerds like Steve Urkel decided to play basketball there's no reason to wear them short.It's something with people around here, they get all pissed off because athletes want to wear long shorts or pants. It's like that with every sport. I can't even begin to count the number of times I see "baseball players need to wear stirrups or high socks." Who cares?

Extremely substantial. Come on.

Who cares?Apparently you do, to have felt so moved to have made that remark. And apparently, "they" do as well, for them to have said the things you said they said.See how that works? *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
