Girls playing sport in lingerie

Girls playing sport in lingerie

We have noticed with interest the increasing involvement of lingerie in sport. Or, sport in lingerie which ever way round it is happening.

I tend to think that it is lingerie which is becoming so popular and as society seems to be encouraging sexiness, it is moving over into new and welcome marketing areas. Maybe not with the intention of selling lingerie initially or directly, but indirectly.

We have seen for example those silly WWF or WWE (perhaps more appropriate) lingerie clad girls. Then the Lingerie Football league, perhaps a little more serious in sporting intent but not purely there for the “sport” as sport is normally understood.

Beech Volleyball is an Olympic Sport but that’s not really lingerie, it’s more sportswear.

With some other examples ignored for the moment, we now have Katie Perry (pop singer UK) wearing a specially designed West Ham football lingerie kit as a gift from Russell Brand. (kind of entertainer UK, controversial). What next, Huddersfield Town Football club playing in lingerie?

(Noo Noo..inside joke!)

It is worthy of further consideration and a longer post at some later point. But for now, we ask a few questions which are; is this a good thing or a bad thing, is it serious, and should lingerie stay in the bedroom and out of sport? Or does it mutually benefit both?  Is it a dumbing down of sport or just another example of dumbing down of society? Will more lingerie sales result? Is it just for the lads? Will sport suffer in the long run? Will lingerie all go sporty?

We may study this lingerie and sport connection in more depth later as we see how things develop but in the meantime have you any opinion on lingerie and sport?

Is the following short lingerie sport video justification for an opinion on sport and lingerie?

  1. Professional Beauty Products

    I think it is a good thing for lingerie to be appearing in sports. It is certainly a good thing for the lingerie manufacturers and distributers, as sales are sure to increase. It also provides a good platform to showcase lingerie without going all smutty, which may also help to increase sales. Whether it is a good thing morally, or good for sport or society. I am not so sure about that one…

    the only drawback that i can think of.. is there wont be a lot of space on the clothing for the sponsors logos.. but they can always be tattoed on .. innit?

  3. Underwear

    hahahahahahahhaha love them. This trend has definitely influenced fashion throughout the years; however, it’s very much the trend right now. And you don’t have to wear nothing to be a part of it! Many stylish women are wearing more corsets, matched with skirts or pants.

    Wow… Lingerie football! Who would have thought anyone would be interested in watching eh? ;o)

    I am not sure if it’s really a movement rather then a reality. There are very few things that if you put women in Lingerie on TV, men wouldn’t want.
