[0016]FIG. 1 shows a frontal view of a short 5 of the present invention which includes a short member 10 having a waistband 12 and a front portion 14 with leg portions 16. Garters 18, extend from the waistband 12 through sleeves 20, which are positioned along the front portion 14 portion and respective leg portions 16.

In one embodiment, the sleeves 20 are sewn onto the front portion 14 and leg portions 16.

[0018]In one embodiment, the garters 18 can be removed from the sleeves 20 to, for example adjust the length of the...

Garter straps connected to the shorts or pants may be used to keep the socks fully extended along the player's legs. Suspenders or similar straps may be used to keep the shorts suspended around the player's waist.[0003]The resulting gear therefore includes a series of straps, which require separate manipulation and attachment by the wearer prior to playing. Such straps are also subject to twisting and / or tangling prior to or during competition. Moreover, because the various parts of the gear are attached by straps, movement of one part of the gear ca...
