Syble Townsel's blog ::Knit Along: Stirrup Socks from Purl Soho - Day 3










My               daughter               is               finishing               her               high               school               volleyball               season               now,               and               there               is               one               aspect               of               that               sport               to               which               I               say,               "Good               riddance,"               at               least               for               another               year.

I               can               endure               the               volleying               of               the               ball               over               the               net               and               the               occasional               serve               that               sails               out               of               bounds.

I               can               calmly               overlook               the               slow               process               of               substituting,               as               the               referee               studies               jersey               numbers               as               if               he               were               an               accountant               at               tax               time.

The               only               aspect               of               volleyball               to               which               I               cannot               become               inured               involves               the               bottom               half               of               the               uniform.

The               spandex               shorts               appear               to               be               very               uncomfortable               for               the               players               and,               frankly,               make               most               of               them               unappealing.

If               the               spandex               aids               in               performance,               then               it               should               be               worn               under               gym               shorts.

When               I               first               saw               a               high               school               team               wearing               those               spandex               bottoms               ten               years               ago,               I               assumed               that               it               was               merely               a               clothing               fad               like               bellbottoms               or               gauchos.

However,               the               spandex               shorts               have               somehow               managed               to               remain               ubiquitous               at               volleyball               games.

Unfortunately,               they               are               not               alone               when               it               comes               to               unappealing               sporting               apparel.

Here               are               other               clothing               items               from               the               world               of               athletics               that               have               somehow               managed               to               endure               despite               their               odd               appearance.

wrestling               singlets
No               matter               if               the               wrestler               is               100               pounds               or               a               heavyweight,               these               legless               and               armless               nylon               long               johns               are               the               most               unattractive               clothing               items               in               the               world               of               sports.

bowling               shoes
Not               only               do               they               probably               host               small               caves               of               fungi,               these               shoes               always               come               with               the               worst               combinations               of               colors.

NASCAR               jump               suits
I               have               never               understood               how               dressing               like               a               colorful               spaceman               somehow               makes               you               a               better               driver.

baseball               socks
Some               players               wear               them               low,               and               some               wear               them               high               with               the               stirrup               showing.

Either               way,               the               baseball               hose               has               always               been               a               blemish               on               our               national               pastime.

fishing               hats
Often               these               scalp-covering               hair               hiders               are               decorated               with               lures               as               though               they               were               military               medallions.

The               droopy               head               piece               serves               no               purpose,               other               than               to               make               the               fish               tale               see               less               ridiculous               than               the               hat.

polo               helmet
These               round               beanies               make               the               game               look               even               more               like               what               it               literally               is,               horseplay.
