The other day I had taken my father-in-law to the women's volleyball game (for extra credit in one of class). We had a great game to watch and the school spirit was great to see. The one thing that I wasn't to comfortable with was the uniforms that the women volleyball players were wearing. I understand that the "huggies" (what they use for shorts) are the most effective type of bottoms because they don't get caught on anything and they are light weight. But, have you seen them? The huggies are basically like black underwear and they leave nothing for the imagination. I have noticed the different uniform changes throughout the years not only for the volleyball players, but also for other male sports as well. It seems like the men sport's uniforms are getting baggier and baggier (basketball and baseball) all the while women's uniforms are getting tighter and tighter. I am not sure if wearing a tighter uniform is the women's request, but is sure gives a show for the male audience. I can't say too much about tight uniforms because I was a swimmer that would have to wear a swim suit in order to compete. But, I was in the water during my event and the tighter the suit the less the drag from the water. All I know is that I would personally feel uncomfortable at first in wearing what the women's volleyball team had to wear in front of a large crowd. I guess if I would just focus on the game and concentrated on winning the game rather than what people thought it wouldn't even phase me on what I was wearing.
