End Notes: Real Teen Boys Wear Pink

When two great-nephews, on two separate Hoopfest teams, arrived at their games Saturday in electric pink team shirts, I knew we weren't in boomer-color rules anymore. In my younger years, no teen boy would be caught wearing pink. But everywhere at Hoopfest Saturday, I saw boy teams in electric pink. And fluorescent lime was popular with the boys, too. Perhaps the gender color barriers — blue for boys, pink for girls — are gone for good/Rebecca Nappi, End Notes. (Photo: Tony Wadden)

Question (for the Men of HBO): How often do you wear pink?
