David's shirt in "Killer Instinct"

Anyone else find it weird how in that episode its pretty much the only time David wasn't wearing a long sleeved buttoned up shirt? He was wearing a short sleeved collared shirt with little shorts.

I mean i think its obvious they always had him wearing the long sleeved buttoned up shirts because those was easier to rip apart during the Hulk transformation with the buttons popping off and the sleeves tearing off. It was just a good visual for when he changed and it was easy for Ferrigno to rip them apart.

But in this episode they had David wearing a shirt that you really couldn't rip out of easily, and funny enough when he gets attacked in the episode while wearing those clothes he's tossed in a sweat room and we don't see the transformation when he Hulks Out. I just don't know why suddenly in that episode they have him in those clothes that was obviously not good for a Hulk transformation.

It's not the only time he's ever worn shorts. Guessing they were trying to keep Bill and Lou cool in summer months in SoCal...ie. It was damn hot...*LOL*

Incidentally, I did notice today on Elrey, in I THINK it was either the episode "Wildfire" or "A Solitary Place", that, even though it was OBVIOUSLY warm climate in the episode, at the END of the episode, as David does his usual stroll from town to town and you hear the classic "Lonely Man" theme, David is wearing some kind of overcoat or trenchcoat type thing...WAY too warm for Spring or Summer.
