In case you didn’t know, sports are about much more than just competition and athleticism. They can also be about relationships, family, and even friendships. And in the case of sportswear, there are many areas that could use a little more care and attention.
Fashion and design can be great for athletes, but in the case of gender diversity and team wardrobe malfunctions, there are some cases where it’s a problem. In terms of female sports athletes and fashion malfunctions, there are some great cases to go from bad to worse. Here are some of the best.
I think one of the most interesting cases we’ve seen recently is this. As we’ve mentioned, the female athletes in sports wear a lot of team-branded clothing such as Nike, Adidas, or Nike+ gear. Sometimes these teams will go through a period where they’ll go from good to bad to good again. This happens to teams like the United States women’s basketball team, the Nike Basketball team, and the Nike + team.
We’ve seen these kind of cases before, but this is one of the most unique. I’ve seen athletes such as tennis players, gymnasts, or even soccer players have their shirts and pants pulled down over their breasts, like a bikini top, revealing their breast underneath. This is a type of wardrobe malfunction that most people would assume is totally normal. These malfunctions are incredibly annoying and gross, but we’ve seen them from some male athletes, as well.
The problem is that many people believe (and this is just my own theory) that these wardrobe malfunctions are actually very normal. And like most of these cases, they might not be.
The fact is that most of the time a female athlete will have her shirt and pants pulled down over her breasts. This is not some freak accident. Most of the time it is a choice. And, like normal malfunctions, this is very annoying and gross. But, this does not have to be a problem. If you see a female athlete wearing this type of shirt/pants it is an easy mistake to correct.
My own theory is that most of these wardrobe malfunctions are actually perfectly normal. They’re just so obvious. I have been guilty of this myself on and off for years, so I know first-hand how ridiculous it can be. In order to fix it, I often just ask people to pull out the offending garment, and then either pull it up or slide it up and down like a zipper. Then I’m good to go.
I can’t tell you how many times people have asked me what to do when I see someone wearing a specific shirt or pair of pants. This is not a random thing people do when they see these kinds of clothes. It is a very well-defined, very specific thing that happens when you see these specific types of clothes. The best way to fix them is to simply ask them to fix it—and most people will.
It is impossible to say just how often this happens, since it varies greatly depending on the person and their size. Of course, it is also impossible to say how often the malfunctions are truly accidental or bad-wearing. It all depends on a lot of variables, but what I can say is that most of these malfunctions are very predictable. They are usually noticeable right away, and the only way to fix them is to remove clothing from someone who knows they are wearing it.
The only real reason I can think of why some people might get weird wardrobe malfunctions is if that person is very small, and/or there are very few of these in the field. The only way to really find these is at a large college or university event. It is also possible that these malfunctions are caused by someone with a really bad wardrobe.
