Here's a little peek into what men's underwear looked like in 1977 being modeled by professional athletes of the day.




Yawn. High school gym uniform. Speaking of gyms, Jim could use a trip to one.


Denis looking a bit puckish here. The t-shirt is normal enough, but check out the underwear. Those are some low riders! Any lower and we'll see his hockey stick.


Another gym uniform, but at least this one has some shorty shorts. Although it's hard to see Ken as sexy when he reminds me of a tv evangelist.


Jamaal looks ultra cool. My favorite of all the jocks. Three points for the patriotic wristbands.


European Speedo. While Jamal got points for his wristbands, I have to give Mike a foul for wearing that goofy elbow pad.


Leftover disco shirt material. Probably the worst design of the bunch. Steve's feathered hair gets an A+, but the Macho Man mustache gets an F.


Jo Jo White in classic white.


Those look like panties. Notice the hairiest guy gets the tiniest underwear. Doesn't Jim remind you of Sam Malone here?


Caveman chic. UGH! The worst of the worst. Sorry Pete. Whoever cut his hair was also Moe Howard's barber.
