    Gene Roddenberry, fashion genious?

    I was watching a re-run last night and it hit me. I knew there was something familiar about that athletic gear.

    Apparently it's not as obvious as I thought.

    no, it's obvious. just the extra space you have in your post kinda makes it look like there's supposed to be a before and after.

    He's saying that the cast of Star Trek is built like football players.

    All I see is a comparison between the FK yellow and Star Trek. I doubt Gene Roddenberry invented the FK yellow jAQUAN.

    Is there supposed to be two pictures, but I can only see one? Is it a reference to some secret American common knowledge that can't be shared with the rest of the world? Or could jAQUAN please post a link to another image of what he is referring to, unless that completely ruins the joke?

    Edit: Thanks Gerbick, but I have never seen that outfit before. Then again, I'm not an expert on sports fashion

    no no, posts like that ruin the joke.
    And it's common practice here to hide a punchline below the fold with hard returns.

    Heh. I was kidding about the football player builds.

    It sounds like Under Armor is an American thing. Consider yourselves lucky.

    Nice try.

    Has nothing to do with just American football. Golf, soccer (or football to the rest of the world), training, running, fishing, basketball, baseball, hiking, hockey... hell, just go the site.

    And they even sell globally.

    The closest I get to any of those sports is Pitch and Putt on a Sunday morning, but if that shirt will improve my game I'll invest!

    There are some bits on that site I'd get for cycling though.

    It's actually is a pretty cool material. I got a shirt for x-mas and while I can't stand the tight collar, it keeps me as warm as a long sleeve shirt without the added weight.
