Those unis were very, VERY tight....
the guys with unbelievable upper bodies (shoulder-to waist ratio) looked slightly super-human …
like Chris Smith
Took me a minute to figure out if Gorgui was wearing one or not.
He better hit the weight room over the summer.

Also makes sliding across the floor on your belly much easier...
"We are on a collision course with the national championship; the only variable is time"
That's the reason volleyball players wear spandex
and I don’t hear anyone complaining about that … just sayin’
In 1980, you would have looked at today's shorts and said they looked like split skirts.
Styles change. If the jerseys are harder to grab, and that translates to a real advantage, everyone will be wearing them soon, and we’ll all get used to looking at them.
"Screech, you CAN'T elope!"
"Who are you calling a cantaloupe, you melonhead?"
Agreed, but weren't the short-length changes more of a gradual thing?
It began with Jordan wearing his shorts baggy/long (I think), and the length seemed to gradually increase until the Fab Five popularized the “skirt” look. Still, I don’t remember thinking the long shorts looked that ridiculous when they came into style. These jerseys seem like more of a shocker to me. Plus, there are plenty of guys (even basketball players) who won’t be flattered by wearing a jersey that tight.

Didn't mind the tight jerseys, though they looked to be a little too tight on Siva & Smith
The only issue I saw was the lack of uniformity in…the uniforms. The tight ones didn’t match the regular unis in a few different areas aside from the obvious bagginess, i.e. trim/piping, letter size, number size, etc…and that’s pretty bush league. My Tuesday night indoor soccer team has matching tops. C’mon man.
