Bill Murray is making waves on the golf course, maybe not so much for his short game, but rather his flamboyant golf gear. The legendary comedic actor has his own golf-wear company appropriately named William Murray Golf. In his most recent golf outings, Murray has been rocking flashy bell-bottomed golf pants that are of course called “Bill-Bottoms.”

Murray definitely believes that retro fashion trends can be resurrected even bell bottom pants. Murray wore several pairs of Bill-Bottoms” at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in California last week. William Murray Golf teamed up Betabrand to bring bell bottoms back. “These handsome retro trousers are ready for all manner of gentlemanly pursuits, thanks to amazing four-way stretch fabric that stubbornly resists wrinkles while wicking away moisture like a thirsty St. Bernard,” Betabrand said of Murray’s Bill-Bottoms. Betabrand is a San Francisco-based crowdfunding apparel company.

One of the first eccentric prints on Bill-Bottoms is called “Lucy the Caboosey,” which features orange-yellow peonies and blueprints of train cabooses. The pattern was inspired by Murray’s mother Lucille and her favorite flower.

Here’s another brash pair of paints that were inspired by Murray’s Kingpin character Ernie McCracken AKA “Big Ern,” who was stuck in the 70s.

Then there are these splashy Bill-Bottoms that look like a box of crayons melted on them.

Bill-Bottoms aren’t technically for sale just yet. Instead, they are currently being crowd-funding to gauge interest in the unusual throwback style from the 1960s and 1970s and pants start at $100. “William Murray Golf wants to sell as much golf stuff as they can, but for ideas [like bell-bottoms] that are a little more out there, more experimental, the cost to perform that experiment is profound,” Chris Lindland, founder and CEO of Betabran told Adweek. “By performing this test on Betabrand, where the crowdfunding mechanism will give them confidence, they can make more.”

The bell bottoms didn’t help the Caddyshack star win at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Murray lost the opening 3M Celebrity Challenge to a team that was headed by Clint Eastwood. Murray has been a fashion icon on the golf course for years now. Who could forget his PBR pants he wore back in 2014?

John Daly had better beware, Bill Murray is bringing an even more flamboyant golf gear game.
