    2K11 Petition: Change Classic Teams Shorts

    Everyone probably knows about this issue by now, I won't write much into it. The classic teams simply look wrong with the modern baggy shorts.

    I'll back my case up with a few pics:

    90-91 Bulls vs 90-91 Lakers




    91-92 Bulls vs 91-92 Blazers




    89-90 Bulls and 90-91 Bulls






    Clearly it makes a difference. Teams from the same year with different short sizes look bad, and as you can see in the last two pics, Jordan and Pippen look like themselves in the short Shorts.
    Particulary, Jordans trademark lean silhouette is lost with the baggy shorts.

    I didn't post pics of later Bulls teams, Knicks, Sonics and Jazz, but they would all look better with the correct shorts.

    Please 2K, change this if you can.

    If you guys agree, just sign, if we can get enough momentum 2K will probably adress this quicker.

            this isnt gonna end well, my question is how many people will use the classic teams more than 5 times outside of the jordan challenge. i haven't messed with them at all

              ^ jordan is on the cover, 2k should get his and his teams shorts right.

              I support this, 2k please give the 91 and 92 bulls the shorter shorts, it looks stupid seeing them in the long baggy shorts.

                I'm going to use them all the time since I'm going to have a historical draft and all time roster association once we get some of the other legends created.

                  Signed...............I also petitioned for this already. Fixing this issue would be icing on the cake. The main problem that stood out for me was the 91 and 92 bulls having current shorts. I'm not too upset about the late 90s teams having them except for Stockton and Hornacek that is just wrong to me. Stockton wore short shorts his whole carreer.

                      The shorts did seem kinda of long for the eras that they are depicting, but IMO I thought it was done on purpose so that they don't look unintentionally humorous

                        I agree. John Stockton just looks too normal with those longer shorts. Or abnormal depending how you look at it.

                          Realism and historical accuracy is cool, but in this case i can go either way.

                          The rosters are incomplete in the first place. Having the complete bench is more important than the shorts to me.

                            Exactly.. Jordan was one of the first to make long shorts the standard. His pair of long shorts were custom made so that he can rest his hands on his shorts, rather than his sweaty knees.

                              I wish I had the ability to muster animus over an animated video game player's clothing.

                              Seriously, who cares? Obviously you do, so I guess the question is... why?
