...really, I could have sworn those were kilts!? We were alliance partners for the 2008 Pittsburgh elims, and they let our drive team borrow a few for the matches. Never will I forget the image of that year's drive team in kilts and bandannas.


The only problem that I see with shorts is the potential safety hazard if they're baggy (may be an issue with guys), and just in general if you have sharp objects in the pit that may scrape the skin. I would mention something about sparks and he huge safety hazard they present to bare skin, but spark-generating machines aren't allowed in the pits anyways.
