AnPheitseog Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Baseball shorts because it allows for the socks to be seen, rather than pants covering up the hockey socks. Formerly known as DiePerske Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc49erfan15 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Clearly none of you have ever played baseball. I don't know how they played in shorts for more than 2 innings. There's a reason baseball players wear pants, and it's called sliding. I'm in phone and too lazy to look up if the Sox ever played in shorts on Astroturf, but if so DEAR GOD.

MJWalker45 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I believe the shorts lasted one game. If one had to come back I'd take hockey pants. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnysama Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 @MJWalker45: The White Sox wore shorts at least twice AFAIK that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see lots of High School softball as an athletic trainer, shorts are rare for games these days. Treated many abrasions (strawberries) back in the day though.

Chromatic Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Shorts. They at least make some sense from the perspective that you're playing a sport and it could help with movement or keeping cool. Cooperalls are just abominations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolphins91 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 They both are awful, but pants. If you have ever played baseball you would know that shorts and sliding DO NOT MIX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OffCenteredScoreboard Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 they are both safety hazards so neither will ever happen again thankfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerws Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I think baseball shorts would be a reason you'd see the sliding pants and socks combo like you see a lot in basketball now. Think pullover jerseys or a Henley and the monochrome shorts and socks. Thanks to modern science baseball shorts would work better but the aesthetic would be diminished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FGM13 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Cooperalls. Neither are good, of course, but hockey players sliding all over the ice is better than baseball players tearing the skin off their legs while trying to slide.

OnWis97 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Would I rather walk the plank or face the firing squad?Aesthetically, I'd go with the Cooperalls, I guess. But because of functionality and safety, I feel comfortable answering "neither."Clearly none of you have ever played baseball. I don't know how they played in shorts for more than 2 innings. There's a reason baseball players wear pants, and it's called sliding. I'm in phone and too lazy to look up if the Sox ever played in shorts on Astroturf, but if so DEAR GOD.softball players do it all the timeOn astroturf?I don't know this, but I think the Sox only pulled out the shorts a couple of times and only at home.

OchentaYOcho88 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Hockey pants. Baseball is to be played in pants, it's not summer beer league softball. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FGWB Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Roller hockey uses pants, so I feel the change would be less off-putting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosrs1 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 orIf one were forced to come back, which would you rather seeConsidering the shorts are dangerous given they provide no protection for players sliding I'd go with the hockey pants. They just look stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 How did shorts become the norm for hockey uniforms in the first place? On the surface, it seems kind of silly since shorts are usually associated with warmth weather.I'm assuming it had to do with the leg pads and not wanting to / being able to put full-length pants over top of the old pads, but I'm curious if anyone knows otherwise. It just seems that pants would make more sense, even if they look dumb (and have been proven to be unsafe) since we're so used to shorts.
