These shorts from ADIDAS are ADIDAS' version of the authentic game shorts that the players wear! They are the highest quality shorts that ADIDAS makes and we are one of the only websites that carry them. We have been out of stock for quite some time and are happy to have them again! They are lighter weight and the IU is a sewn on patch...as opposed to screenprinted, which is what the "replica" shorts are. We are told that they are not the exact pair the team wears, but ADIDAS has assured us that they are the closest they make at retail to the game worn shorts that the players wear. We recommend that if you are interested in a pair, get it while we have sizes!
