Broadway dancers dropped their robes in the heart of New York to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the jockstrap.
Between the unauthorized Disney characters, the TKTS booth and the 65-foot hot dog sculpture, it’s hard to get peoples’ attention in Times Square. But Bike Athletic managed to pull it off, thanks to itsIt was 1874 when C.F. Bennett sought to protect bicycle riders on Boston’s streets and created the first jockstrap. His invention wound up revolutionizing men’s underwear by adding structure and protection without limiting comfort or mobility.
To celebrate the anniversary, Bike introduced a limited-edition anniversary jock that sold out within hours. That piece was a replica of one of the earliest versions and was offered in black with gold leg straps and embellished with the 150anniversary logo. Only 150 were produced and each one was numbered, sold with a certificate of authenticity and packaged in a commemorative box.
The Bike event was just a teaser for the true Broadway Bares, a burlesque production that is produced by and benefits Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. Two performances of the show will be held on June 23 at Hammerstein Ballroom with proceeds going toward providing meals, medication and health care to those living with HIV/AIDS and other life-threatening illnesses.Privacy Policy
