Title: Shorts with Pockets
Post by: German Rover on January 15, 2026, 09:33:17 pm
Bury have started selling their shorts with and without pockets.

I think this would help sales of gear especially for the summer holidays. Hopefully someone reads this and gives us what we need.

Pockets for the Reds!

Always had a little pocket inside my shorts back in the day, never used it though.

It does put you off buying the shorts as us blokes need pockets. Never bothered John Terry though he still showed up in full kit, when he hadn’t played a minute. Probably meandering around in retirement, in a shopping centre darn sarf, with the full kit of Chelsea on, tomorrow it will a villa kit, after that England one. Bet their housekeeper gets sick of the washing they need to do!

No ironing to do though with most sports kit.

And into the 80s they still did.!!  Great for keeping your hands warm during PE when you weren’t involved with the game!

Great for smuggling soil out into the prison courtyard when planning an escape, I find.

Or in my case, making sure you weren't involved in the game!
