MNtwins3 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Since baseball is practically here, I thought I'd start a discussion: high pants or low pants.I'm talking about these:http://www1.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Eric+Sogard+Seattle+Mariners+v+Oakland+Athletics+nhMCns2Up-xl.jpgVs these:http://sportsthenandnow.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Ryan-Howard.jpgI personally like to wear my pants higher up, and I love it when MLB players do it too. It looks great, and brings back nostalgia.So I was wondering, what do you guys think is better? High pants, or low pants?

WavePunter Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 When long pants are worn up, it looks silly.. The first picture looks so phony and ridiculous to me, like he's wearing rolled up sweatpants or something..Of the currently offered styles, I'll take long pants all day..However, if properly tapered and a bit more "fitted", as well as appropriate length, I'm a huge fan of the high pants look, especially with nice socks or stirrups..Even "long"pants can look great worn high, just not when they're awkwardly cut to be loose fitting or baggy.

atwarren44 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 My favorite is high pants especially when worn with stirrups, but I also like the "fitted" pants. I just hate the pajama pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConcreteCharlie Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Showing socks is better.Bonus points for stirrups.But if a player goes low cuffed I would rather the pants be tight like this.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamikel Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 High pants showing socks is ideal, but if a player is going to wear long pants, pajama pants are much better than tight pants with elastic at the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altosax29b Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 But if a player goes low cuffed I would rather the pants be tight like this..There aren't many players that wear it like that now. Justin Verlander is one that I can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aci Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I really don't like the baggy pants that go almost to the ground in the heel area, but generally I prefer long pants. I don't hate the high-socks look, but I do find it uncomfortable to wear.Also, and I may be in the minority here, but high stirrups look stupid. Low ones that show a bit of white over the shoetops are fine, but the ones that go halfway up the sock are pointless.

The_Admiral Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 High socks on everyone but the Yankees. It always looks weird on them. No comically baggy pants for anyone. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There aren't many players that wear it like that now. Justin Verlander is one that I can think of.That's how I always wore my pants. I've tried the high socks on and off, but I always ended up going back to the above look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean F&F Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 High pants look nice. I think wearing the long pants are more comfortable and I think that's why more players do it.When it comes to stirrups, I like ones that have shorter "stripes". I don't know how to explain it other than I like Picture 1 more than Picture 2.I liked stripped non stirrup socks the best. https://fandfsports.wordpress.com/Hockey Uniform Templates (Gimp/Photoshop) http://seanff.deviantart.com/gallery/52790653/Devious-Folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolphins91 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I have worn baggy, high socks, long w/ elastic and stirrups and I think that baggy pants are way better than the high socks or elastic. You can move a little bit better, they are more comfortable, and look better IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate the pants that go down under the cleats or the baggy ones that Manny Ramirez used to wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GriffinM6 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I definitely prefer short pants. I've only played in one game with ankle pants and hated myself for it. I think it's BS when someone says they are uncomfortable. If the elastic is loose and the pants are hemmed correctly, it's actually pretty comfy. Honestly, I think by the time the current high schoolers start playing in the majors, short pants will make a return. I play high school ball against prospects and can say that I saw a lot more guys wearing short pants than I did is previous years. I even wore my pants Hunter Pence style one game cause I'm weird like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
