Back in the 60’s, 70’s, women burned their bras then asked for support. Go figure.

Thanks for the uplifting post!

Admit it. You clicked on this thread for this picture.

"Who could forget soccer player Brandi Chastain scoring the winning goal in the 1999 Women’s World Cup, ripping her shirt off, kneeling on the pitch, and roaring in her sports bra like a warrior?"

I couldn't forget because I didn't even know. That said, the image of a girl "roaring like a warrior" is slightly laughable.

I do appreciate the sports bra! Would not want to work out without them!

[BenLurkin]

It would have been more impressive if she’d taken off that black top.

But doesn’t look like it would have been too very impressive.

"Designers from Stella McCartney to Kanye West have attached their names to high-end sports bras."

I'm glad Kanye has a hobby.

Uh, no....LOL

But I forgot how bad that pic actually is.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

I think I'll write an article about how these supported me through the ages and how my jewels slip out the sides like microwaved peeps when they get old and worn out. But we've been so close through the years, I can't bear to part with them. Should I mount them in a plexiglass case for posterity, skid marks and all?

[CH3CN]

I just tuck mine into my waist band, zip up, and I’m good to go.

[It wasn’t until 1977 that Lisa Lindahl, Polly Palmer Smith, and Hinda Schreiber Miller joined forces to change women’s athletics forever. Lindahl was a runner, Miller was a costume designer from Canada, and Smith was Lindahl’s close friend. Working out of the costume department at the University of Vermont, the trio produced the great-great-grandmother of the modern sports bra: a medical gauze–colored garment that looked like two jockstraps sewn together (because it was two jockstraps sewn together). They called it the JockBra, which changed to JogBra before it hit the market. In 1979, the three were granted U.S. Patent 4,174,717. ]

Sounds like two “hyphenated women”. Though no hyphen there.

Actually I clicked on this thread to see if they were going to fix your title.

;)

Please change the hideous link in the title to:

The Greatest Invention in Running—EVER—Is the Sports Bra

Thanks.

[Yaelle]

Ouch! Ha Ha Ha!

[Rebelbase]

I don’t care for them and prefer to run in free form.

[rlmorel]

It was the pic above!

[OKSooner]

Oh, side view too.

Nice ..

[Nifster]

You obviously have too much free time

[Spacetrucker]

I disagree - yoga pants are much, MUCH more important.
