New shorts dropping online all over now. Eastbay has them – confirms they have pockets and also looks like all logos/swoosh are heat-transferred (just like team USA shorts). Weak, very weak and sure as heck not worth $80. Why not just buy last year's shorts for $40 and get tackle twill...
Anyone else notice that the new waistband with the rubber inside makes the shorts super-tight around your waist? I usually wear a medium but had to get a "large" in the Team USA shorts just so the waist fit comfortably...curious to see if/when someone pulls the trigger on the new shorts and...
More new shorts dropping...definitely looks from some pictures that they have pockets. How does everyone feel about that? Who balls in shorts with pockets?

Purdue grey is sweet though...
looks like new short styles are starting to trickle out online. Higher price point and include pockets. Not sure I'm a fan of either...
Here's the Spartans shorts...
Anybody find any new shorts for 12-13 season for sale online yet? See Eastbay has them on sale again and it makes me wonder if Nike is changing the make again this year to follow the really thin hyperelite shorts?
Eastbay has BIG sale on College shorts -- pairs going for $34.99. Wonder if they are trying to blow out inventory to usher in his year's crop of shorts. Hope they aren't switching them over to the $80 price point and quality that the Platinum shorts were at. The Team USA Olympic shorts were at...
I've got a pair of the authentic two-tones and the waist is super tight on those too compared to my other authentic Hyper Elite College shorts. Bummed Nike pulled a bait and switch on us with the authentics but I think I'm going to keep my two-tones -- different and fresh look.
Is there really...
Those are the $80 authentics...got them at a Nike store in MN. Totally bummed but not surprised after a closer inspection shows stitching all around the waistband that is bound to get "pulled". I wore a pair of compression shorts underneath and I guess the waist band of those tore the stitching...
Has anyone had this happen to their USA Hoops authentic shorts? Wore them 1 time to play hoops and the waistband is a disaster!
Also, has anyone purchased the blue zip-up hoodie? I snagged it in gray but was curious if the blue colorway was nicer.
i've got the Marquette shorts...they are hyperelite material (just like the rest of the Nike College Twill today), but I'm guessing they aren't as thin as the platniums. Sounds like those are really light. Solid choice if you go with MU, I've got the yellow ones and they are solid.
I've got SJU...
