No more leos for guys, instead skin-tight shirts with shorts, say Hamm twins! :D Girls should totally be able to wear shorts over their leos in USAG too!! :D Hamm twins want to impact the sport by this as one way: [quote]One way they're trying to do that is by designing new competition wear for male gymnasts. They think the traditional one-piece leotard is uncool, uncomfortable and outdated. They're working with Adidas to create a more contemporary, athletic look, and they'll unveil skin-tight black shirts and contoured shorts at nationals. "With all the changes we've had with the rules, why not change the uniform? It's been stagnant for a long time now," Paul says. "For us, we like the look. We think it could be a good change, something positive for the sport. USA Gymnastics is behind this idea as well. They're going to present this to the FIG at the World Championships, see if they'll approve it for the Olympics and going forward."[/quote] A lot of guys probably want this!! Just like the girls want the optional shorts rule!! from topic: "Gymnasts embark on Hamm-bling comeback (USA Today)" - http://www.gymchat.com/messageboards/viewtopic.php?t=1172

"uncool, uncomfortable and outdated" good way to put it

Good idea. It always has seemed weird to me for guys to wear leotards too lol.

great idea! they do call the boys' leos something else, like a tunic or something?

here's pictures of Morgan Hamm and Paul Hamm on pommel horse, day 2 of competition: (Morgan) (Paul) They're wearing the new design, like they said they would debut it at Nationals. Maybe that's what the line on Morgan's pants is from on the first picture - his tucked-in shirt. So guys can change the uniform just like that, girls should too if they want. After all, it's a sport, not modeling. Shorts and sleeveless tank leos are a1.

The Hamm twins were able to change their uniform quick. We should all just wear shorts to competition now if we want! They already do have the new fig rules on it: http://www.gymchat.com/messageboards/viewtopic.php?t=503
