Boxing Attire

Perhaps striped shorts will have a slimming effect on the boxer?

Other then that, the whole field of 'color psychology' is pretty much an archaic notion. Every now and then, a clinician has a bit of free time on his hands and thinks 'Now how can I spend the next couple of hours? I know.. ill invent some ridiculous idea, and sell it to the world!' (see: Freud's Psychodynamic Theory).

Anyway, as someone studying Psych, there are some really, really shadey areas of the discipline that give it a bad name. This is one such area.

As a fighter myself, i also know that the last thing your thinking when you step into the ring is what your opponent is wearing and any subliminal messages associated with it.

 

OR perhaps you are a clinician and trying to stray us from the truth :think

 

I could see where shiny,sparkly or other fancy trunks could be destracting.

 

I probably shouldnt have used the term subliminal message.. its my belief that the unconscious mind doesnt control conscious behaviour.

But, i was getting at that you could legitimately ask a lot of fighters what color trunks/boots or even their opponents mouthguard was, and alot wont know.

 

I just want to bring this back to say that anyone who supports this idea is completely out of line and it is completely unacceptable. I believe we all know the difference between right and wrong especially in this particular case. We are all better than that so let's avoid ridiculous threads like these. Thanks...
