He wears short, shorts

The below is a guestblog by Terence, the pants (note the bad pun) title is all my work.

AFL grunts, wearing shorter shorts than their present-day short... shorts:

Stephen Alessio, when he played for Essendon during the late-nineties; Robbie Dykes, checkin'-out some guy's butt. Also, a gaggle of shorty-pants wearing footballers, followed by another gaggle.

James Hird (No. 5), contesting a mark for Essendon in the '93 Premiership, and a variety of Big Men Flying and assorted others. You'll notice the '80s, here, here, here and here, seemed to follow the fashion of gay men wearing cycling shorts every-gawd-damn-where, but without the length. The late '70s seemed to take it to the extreme (1) (2), possibly following the hot-pants craze for women at the time. (I'm thinking Daisy in The Dukes of Hazzard -- or was that earlier?)

Anyway, ya get the idea about today's footy-shorts being a tad baggy.
