Move over Tighty-Whities, printed underwear are taking over the market. Novelty underwear, for decades the butt of jokes and the joke of butts, but in the last two to three years turned into a serious business, capturing a significant share of the $1.1 billion men’s knit-underwear market. In all their goofy glory, briefs in bright colors, zany prints, new materials and daring cuts are undermining the classic white brief’s long-held status as king of the hill. In 2006, white’s share of the market dipped below 50 percent for the first time in decades, if not ever. SOURCEThursday, April 19, 2007
