Women's Volleyball Uniforms - Short Shorts in Particular

Falstaff, a comical, yet world weary, buffoon in the Shakespearean canon, put forth the notion that "The better part of valour is discretion." Henry V, Pt. I

Left unspoken, was the notion that the proper length of women's volleyball shorts, left unto itself, would somehow declare itself. With discretion be damned. Or ignored. Or being "JUNO"-d out of exist or relevance.

...And Falstaff, Shakespeare & most coaches & parents wouldn't be any wiser. Except now.
Let me go on.
About 6 years ago, 5" compressions shorts for women's volleyball was considered a tad "risque" due more to the "cling" factor than the length or lack thereof.
About 4 years ago, there started to be a directed (astounding) push toward SHORT and TIGHT. Ala: 2 1/2" inch shorts and Lycra and/or Spandex.
The reaction was nearly immediate and dead-on. It has become the WAY and FIT of most club teams???
Since when did HS VB players associate with Pussy Cat Dolls in VB Uniforms?
To be honest: When HS players started to look like COLLEGE players.
It's the TRUTH and it ain't wrong neither.
THERE.. I said it.

Volleyball Uniforms - Mizuno Vs. Mizuno

Or should I say - US vs. Japan in round one action in Beijing. Both teams are wearing Mizuno unis...albeit slightly different versions thereof. Here's what I'm thinking...

I wasn't sure if Japan or the US was going full sublimation (where the player numbers , names and team emblem are sublimated, as opposed to just the other design elements of the unis. Frankly, they just switched over to fencing so I'm not sure even as I type.

I prefer the US squad's version as the Japanese take is a little clunky around the neckline for my taste. The fit on both is incredible.
(Go figure!)

Both shoulder cuts seem to be stylish and very functional (what more could you ask for?)

I actully like the Japanese team's "fade" look vs. the pure solids of the US though. There's a reason why sublimated design is rapidly growing in popularity. In short, you can do some really cool stuff with it.
