What do you guys think of the shirts that the danes wore during the tournament? Kenneth Jonassen was even wearing a cool silver short sleeve shirts. Silver Short pants?? my gosh.. too striking..
i think sleeveless shirt work great in badminton, more cooling. runners and track athletes use them, why not in badminton too.
imho, runners and track athlete either: - runs for a few seconds or a few minute and they are done. so they don't sweat as much as badminton. - when they run, they are facing continuous airflow which help evaporation in badminton, the are a lot of short sprints with direction change so the amount of relative airflow is small. add to that the long exercise time sweat tends to stay on the body surface longer. as a result, i agree with ants that a short sleeve shirt will absorb more sweat and prevent sweat from dripping down the arm.
dang, you guys use the hair threads to get back at me i don't disagree, that is why KJ is wearing wristband and not PG.
Yeah, so he will be sitting "on" Yonex The interesting thing is, since the shirt is from Yonex, does that mean this type of shirt will be a new trend as for the official shirt of badminton?
I think it should be pointed out that this gear is NOT the new Danish team outfit. Jonassen said that he didn't mind wearing it "for fun" in the Copenhagen Masters, but he would not wear it this season in IBF tournaments -- at least not the sleeveless shirt.
Slightly off topic, can somebody tell me where you can get one of those knee supports Jonassen is wearing?
