Pink Blog

I happened upon this “Pink is Beautiful” campaign through a discussion of homoeroticism in sports. I thought I was clicking through to the Dieux du stade calendars, but instead it was the Stade Français general shop…with pink splashed all over it! In addition to the $30 Pink is Beautiful shirts, there’s a [...]

I came across this while trying to find cheap gymnastics equipment so I could pretend I was a gymnast like I was as a kid. It turns out there is no cheap gymnastics equipment. This little bitty beam, just 8 feet long (half the length of a usual one), is $256.99! [...]

When I posted about pink footballs yesterday, I missed an example. Strangely enough, a company that sells sporting goods also sells a pink football purse for $125. It’s not actually made of a football, it’s just leather shaped like a football, with laces and handles attached. I suspect there is definitely [...]

Someone recently left a comment asking if there were any pink footballs out there. I thought for sure there must be, so I went in search of one. To my surprise, I couldn’t find anything! There’s pink jerseys, a pink uniform for girls, a pink field, and a controversial pink locker [...]

The Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) has established the Pink Zone to increase awareness of breast cancer on the court and around the country. They are heavily involved in fundraising and have collaborated with the NCAA for some of their efforts. You can buy the pink basketball seen here, as well as [...]

I can’t believe I never posted about my pink boxing gloves when I had them – at least I can’t find the post if I did. But here is some Ryoku boxing gear, gloves and a mask. It looks to me like the mask leaves your nose pretty vulnerable, but what do [...]

Although most pieces of gym equipment now have metal strips that you grip to keep track of your heart rate, there’s still a reason to buy a wrist-worn heart rate monitor. How else are you going to monitor your heart rate while running outside, doing push-ups, or other non-machine-based activities? I’d bet [...]

Let us bow our heads to mourn the loss of ThinkPinkScuba, a website that only lasted for about a year. The owner, TekDiveGirl, loved pink and started her own store of pink gear. Alas, the store is no longer, but you can still find quite a few pink items for use when [...]

I needed a new swim cap, so I was in the local sports store the other day. I came upon these fabulous pink goggles by a company called TYR. They were $11, and if I were working full-time I would totally have gotten them. Unfortunately I’m now in school full time [...]

I just bought a fancy headset by H2O Audio that lets you listen to an iPod Shuffle while you’re swimming. I had to order a Shuffle too, and it happens that the best deal was a pink one, which is great! But it won’t be visible in the protective housing anyway. [...]
