when did men's basketball adopt longer shorts



+6
Evolution of Men's College Basketball Shorts Through the ...Men's basketball began transitioning to longer shorts in the late 1980s, largely driven by Michael Jordan requesting longer, looser shorts from manufacturer Champion in 1987-1989. This trend was rapidly popularized and made mainstream by Michigan's "Fab Five" in the early 1990s, replacing the tight, short-shorts style of the 1970s and 80s.

1984–1989: Michael Jordan requested an increased inseam (longer shorts) on his Bulls uniforms to be more comfortable and to have something to hold onto while resting.
1989–1993: Michigan’s Wolverines (Fab Five) team cemented the trend, wearing visibly longer, baggier, and looser shorts that extended to or below the knee.
1990s: The trend spread across the NBA rapidly, moving away from "short-shorts" commonly worn by previous stars.
2000s: Oversized shorts peaked in popularity before gradually becoming more form-fitting again by the 2010s.

The shift was influenced by both a desire for comfort and the growing impact of hip-hop culture on fashion in basketball.

@samueltyler2 Thank you Mr. Jordan!!

@Tumbleweed lol!

@PerfectionOfTheHeart I never realized how good his legs are. he would make a great transgender.

@H1raeth @PerfectionOfTheHeart that's Tom Selleck

@Gibbon …very aware. I specifically googled him.

@mindstruggle But is that because you don't want it ..Or because you DO?

@H1raeth
I don't want it.

@mindstruggle That's good. I was hoping people wouldn't want it but sometimes that backfires.

@greensnacks Do you still like the grey sweat pants? I heard those were big with women last time I checked.

Depends on who and whether his butt crack is out.
But generally, I see them as equivalent to women yoga pans so yeah

@greensnacks Plumbers Crack is an aquired taste, I understand that.

@Prettybratbi1tch But is it hot?

@H1raeth not to me no

@Prettybratbi1tch The only time I think it's okay is if he is legitimately gay.
