Seeing Matthew Testa’s recent post on Sweet Sweet Lax’s Facebook page reminded us of some shorts SSL saw during Summer, some shorts you shouldn’t miss.

While I was coaching this summer at a camp in Sacramento, I saw some of the most impressively constructed lacrosse shorts I’ve ever seen. Ryan Winters, Head Coach of the University of Florida’s men’s lacrosse club, was wearing these beauties customized for the Gators’ program. He told me that this board short/lacrosse short by Digz Apparel was UofF’s actual practice short last year. Be jealous, I was.

"The Team Short" by Digz Apparel

Here’s a bit of info from Digz’s webpage:

The Team is a lightweight, water-wicking performance short based on a model we originally designed for the Florida Gators, Gonzaga College High School and Menlo School lacrosse programs to wear during the 2011 season. With a sleek, flat-lying waist line and concealed velcro lace-up front for size customization, the Team is expressive while maintaining fundamental form.

• Quick-dry, four-way stretch fabric
• Concealed velcro lace-up closure at waist
• Three multi-purpose pockets
• Hidden iPod pouch/sleeve in right side pocket
• Contrast red interior lining and highlights
• 92% Polyester, 8% Spandex

Back pocket? I think so.

I could use this pocket in my running shorts

Concealed laces, obviously missing the Gator logo
