We should also point out that running gear is always shorter, and it’s not really dorky so much as purpose-driven, à la Rick Warren.
ETA: or, to be more accurate, not à la Rick Warren.
Men’s shorts are ALREADY too big. Anything past the knee is not shorts, they’re pants. Shorts are shorter than the knee, that’s why they are called shorts.
You were just a little bit too fixated on that Larry Bird slo-mo replay…
They certainly are long this year, to the knee. Also plaid is back.
I looked for mens shorts 2010 and came up with this link: 
That’s actually shorter than what I was seeing when I origanally posted the OP.
What kind of shorts do zombies wear? Are they too long or short?
He calls them “shants” and he wears them loose to hide his hideous obesity. That’s also why he always wears a jacket of some sort. Sometimes he wears the “Silent Bob” coat. Apparently he wore his own coat in the original Clerks movie, and ever since then a lot of people who see him on the street ask him why he’s walking around in his movie costume.
Dear god, that was scary, post a warning next time. 
Personally I like knee length, slightly baggy shorts, for the simple reason they’re comfy, the stuff in that link for the most part was quite absurb looking, never mind the hairdo on the guy.
Holy crap.
And I thought I had trouble getting laid back in the day…poor, skinny, white, knobby kneed, fashion challenged bastards.
I just want a return to a happy medium. None of these parachute pants, but also none of the short shorts popular in the 70’s.
This thread’s gotten too big for its britches. (Do zombies wear britches?)
