Channel4 short shorts

[Torchwatch]

I was a skinny child, my long socks always fell down even with garters on, my rugby socks always sank to my ankles.
It didn't matter how many times I tried to "pull my socks up", they always fell down. becoming a runner allowed me to wear short ankle shock that could be pulled on and forgotten.

There are I believe also minimal athletic socks now available which cover the heel but which do not go as far up as the ankle bone.

These "minimal athletics socks" are entirely hidden by training shoes giving the appearance of not wearing socks, at first I found the combination of oversized shorts with undersized socks a bit strange, as if the wearer was making up for covering his knees by exposing his ankles.
Last year I actually bought a multipack of minimal socks for cycle camping, they cut the weight and bulk of spare socks I was carrying and were so cheap as to be disposable if I couldn't be bothered to carry dirty socks home. Worn with Lycra cycle shorts and cleated shoes I found them good enough to use again this year.

Runners like those "no-show" socks. They add little to no extra weight to their body so the runners claim.

THey had collections of athletic wear in all the local high school colors and logos. Tee shirts, but most interestingly some short shorts in the same style and pattern that was popular in the 1960s. Split sides, piping around the edges in a contrasting school color, ie Maroon shorts outlined in white piping for Tates Creek high. The white piping went right up the split side as well.

What goes around comes around!

These obviously are popular this year at the schools.
