NBA and Courtside style

Is it just me, or are there trends in sports attire????

I am noticing a definite shift in Pro Basketball away from the completely HUGE shorts and Tees to a slightly closer to the body uniform.

NBA Rollout video

I first took note of this shift watching the Olympics. Team USA and others wore almost skin tight tee- shits fitted like an Under Armor tank, tucked into their shorter, slimmer shorts. The shirts were also made from a jacquard pattern the subtly used the Olympic logo faintly with the Teams logos on top. Subtle, something you rarely see in sports. Check out this video when they showed off the uniforms for the first time:

The I started watching the College ACC Tournaments and decided that that tighter fit was debuting with the college kids.

And now here it is NBA playoff season, and the dudes are decidedly getting more body conscious. Hey, if I had limbs like Dwight Howard, I’d want to show them off too!
