Many of you may be familiar with a blog website called Tumblr. Recently a tumblr page has been created that strictly posts pictures of men wearing the ever so trendy, Salmon shorts. As silly as it sounds, whiteboysinsalmonshorts.tumblr.com is actually a hit amongst the tumblr population. The page was created to draw attention to the “preppiness” sported by the salmon colored pants/shorts. Most pictures of these candid men wearing the salmon colored shorts are posted generally from college campuses from the northeast, but as they state, they welcome everyone.
Their make-believe scoring system is: one point for white boy in salmon shorts, an extra point if the boy is wearing a white polo, twice the points if the shorts are embroidered, two points for two boys wearing salmon shorts, and five points for three or more boys wearing salmon shorts. Stamford High’s senior class president, Brendan George, was featured on the “Boys in Salmon Shorts” Tumblr page last month. George stated he was “surprised,” and said “I found out from a friend who follows the blog page closely.” George was found shirtless and without boat shoes or embroidery on his salmon shorts; therefore, he was awarded only one point on the salmon shorts scoreboard.
