Michigan Puts the Short Back in Its Shorts

The Michigan freshman Isaiah Livers can only marvel when he watches highlight clips of the Wolverines’ Fab Five days.

“How do you play that way?” Livers asked.

He wasn’t referring to the style of play. He was talking about the style of attire.

Those extra-baggy shorts that former Michigan stars Chris Webber and Jalen Rose made famous? Almost 30 years later, this year’s Wolverines just aren’t feeling it.

“The long shorts are out of date,” the sophomore Ibi Watson said. “If they can touch your knees, they’re way too long.”

It is said that fashion is cyclical.
