It is funny to see those old shorts. It is even funnier to see the shorts from the 70s and early 80s. It is hard to believe how much shorts have changed in the last 20-30 years.
Just imagine if some kid in 1979 sported what is a typical pair of gym shorts today. I am far from cutting edge and 44 years old and my gym shorts are pretty baggy. I suspect the 20 year olds on this board would tell me I am out of style and my shorts today don't remotely look like Skeeter's shorts from that picture.
