One of the more famous lines from Mel Brooks “Robin Hood: Men in Tights” goes like this:
“We’re men. We’re men in tights!”
One doesn’t have to pick up a classic movie from the 1990’s to see men wearing tights anymore. All anyone has to do is head to a basketball court to see the latest fashion trend sweeping basketball: tights.
Take Monday night’s San Diego State men’s basketball game against Biola University for example. When both teams’ starting lineups took the floor, four of SDSU’s five starters and three of Biola’s starters were wearing tights.
