Title: Are GAA shorts too short?
Post by: Eamonnca1 on August 08, 2013, 11:05:50 PM
What is it with GAA shorts? I've seen at least two occasions of a player's manhood slipping out from under the fabric and being caught on camera.

These short shorts look ridiculous. Time to add a bit of length to them.

Would that not make the problem you identified worse?

To his manhood?

I played through the 80's and the shorts were ridiculously short, must be coming around again. I preferred them over the soccer style ones that came out in the 00's

Sure doesn't almost everyone wear compression shorts underneath the kit shorts these days? You'd be daft not to.

If they were any skimpier they'd be Speedos.

Another example of inappropriate tackle? Or just a load of bollocks?

Did you ever notice that if for example, you were thinking of buying a car, and maybe you had one particular make and model in mind.  All of a sudden  you'll see loads of them on the road, when before you never really noticed them. Sort of,  you only see something when you are looking for it, kinda thing.

I'm glad you brought that up. The colours of cars in America have become extremely dull and boring. Everywhere I look I see silver, silver, grey, silver, black, silver, white, grey, beige, silver, silver, grey, grey blue, grey, etc.  So when you live in the land of boring car colours you get accustomed to one type of colour and a yellow car becomes very noticeable.

Likewise, when you live in the land of sports where shorts are a certain length, the sight of skimpy shorts in another sport becomes a lot more noticeable.

I don't have a problem with skimpy gear on ladies volleyball players and what have you, but in mens' field sports they should cover a bit more up IMHO.

At the other end of the spectrum, the length of some shorts I've seen in the states border on the ridiculous.

If I can stop my manhood falling out of my shorts, anyone can.

Just over a decade ago, GAA shorts were like Speedos, so be glad for the partial improvement.

Drunk on train, fly open, everything on view. Little old lady sitting opposite nervously points and says, "errr ... it's sticking out". Bleary-eyed drunk looks at her, looks down, looks back at her. "Don't flatter yourself, madam", he says. "It's HANGING out."

The shorts are too shiny and the stripe effect is a few years out of date.
O'Neills did a good job coming up with the pink jerseys for the ladies, however.

Agreed. Basketball shorts have gotten so long they look just as ridiculous. I think soccer has a decent happy medium.

I disagree fundamentally. I think soccer shorts are between 1.25 and 1.3 mm too long. They look ridiculous.

Hate the Pink Jersey! I Hate the PINK Jersey!

If I want my daughter to identify with the GAA females of my county, then I will buy her a County Ladies Jersey.

It is so hard to tell the pink jerseys apart, should they not still contain some of the counties colours?
They seem to very popular at the minute.

Who had them out first, Azzurri or O'Neill's?

A delightful homage to the British honours system.
