Jockstrap Day
Today's jockstrap theme is by request from a certain viewer in
Phoenix, but before we start the show, here's a classic ad from 1960.
Note how the unit hanging on the locker door looks filled.
What a way to finish 2022, as jockstraps are one of my favorite vintage themes. Saying "Happy New Year," seems inadequate as your efforts in 2022 very often gave me moments of joy and happiness. So - Live long and prosper and May the Force be with you ... always.
Happy New Year, Jerry. A great way to mark the end of the year. I wonder how many men buying a jockstrap in their local sports store are buying them for "support"? Love wearing them. I remember, aged 13 buying my first one. We used to do sports commando, or you could wear a spare pair of underpants. Games master suggested that "If we thought we had anything protecting, we should get a jock".
Happy New Year to you, too, David! We had formal PE starting in 6th grade, but hardly anyone bought a jock until high school. I insisted on getting one in 7th grade, however, after an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction.
Bike advertising was, for its time, remarkably sophisticated. I'm not so sure your average straight Joe would have consciously registered the huge pouch - Jack Tar could have tacked round the Cape of Good Hope with that on a mast - but the message would have been absorbed subliminally. But do note the hint at a gay market, because the gay athlete would have clocked it. They new their market.
I was expecting a frolicking, handsome nude stud inside a giant champagne glass! Instead an ad for Bike jock supporters on New Years? Come on! lo-lol Happy New Years Eve everyone. :)
You could carry a cantaloupe in that thing!
ReplyDeleteAt least that's what they wanted you to think, lol.

DeleteAh, yes, all those wardrobe malfunctions. I was wearing short 1970s shorts!
