Players socks

[Mainstandbear]

I've noticed this on most of our players and some from other teams, there seems to be a trend of cutting the feet off of the kit socks and wearing like a generic white sports sock and taping over the two ends is there any particular reason for this?

IIRC the white socks are special grip socks or something along those lines making a more comfortable fit.

I don't know why the kit suppliers can't make full socks that offer the same benefits.

Castore made sleeves rather than socks, to save players cutting them and wasting material.

I'm sure Castore provide the players with socks that only cover the leg with the foot removed if they ask for them, in fact were they not on the Castore catalogue thing that was leaked on here before the kits were released, i'm sure they had both type of sock on there.

Edit: yes, i was right

In the 1960's the replica kit socks were red n'black with white feet.

They don’t cut the ends off. They wear socks of choice, to match their preference and wear the ‘uppers’ that are specially made for them.

However your tinpot clubs players (Motherwell, etc) do cut their socks to do the same.

It would have been good if Castore had released the champions top with all the shirt sponsors on it, even a nice Champions 55 on the back. don't understand why the kits for sale only have 50% of the shirt sponsors on them (yes i know they would just fall off, but it would have been a nice touch and set the champions top apart even more than the standard top) IMO the Pro top should have them as well.

Like that

Didn’t work, we’ve been in blistering form all season

 

[CajunBear]

Most manufactures make footless socks for teams so they can wear the anti-slip socks. Apparently the socks help prevent blisters and rubbing. Look at the various club shops and a lot of teams sell the footless versions as well as the regular.
