I need a new pair of around-the-house shorts and am looking specifically for some Auburn ones. Does anyone know of a good brand that makes some that aren't a crazy inseam (long basketball shorts) or that aren't $60 UnderArmour ones?

I have an old pair of Samford University shorts made by Colloseum that are perfect, but I can't seem to find that style now. They are just plain mesh with no pockets and a printed logo.

It just should not be this hard to find cheap athletic shorts.

make sure to consult with MexicanBurtReynolds first. He knows his fashion.

If you google "Auburn Shorts" all you get is long arse below the knee shorts, most of which are the same few styles from various sites.

I'm plenty aware of the internet, but I can't seem to find what I'm wanting. I'm looking for a specific type of cheap mesh 7-9" inseam shorts. Just thought it was worth asking if any of you have some you like that aren't ridiculous.

I want this type, but in orange/blue/grey with an AU logo. I just wouldn't imagine they would be this hard to find.

J&M has the best shorts.

Auburn gear only comes from like 4 or 5 places. So if you look there and google it and still don't find any, then there probably aren't any.

Seemed appropriate,

I'm pretty sure J&M has the exact shorts he's looking for in their stores but I doubt you'll find them online. OP give J&M a call

If you asked Leo to point out Auburn on a map I guarantee you he doesn't point to the state of Alabama

You're right. He just wears it because it attracts the ladies

These days, anything with a collegiate logo is likely to be overpriced, regardless of how cheaply it's made, because the universities demand so damn much in royalties. If you're good with a needle and thread (or know someone who is, like MexicanBurtReynolds), you can modify a generic cheap pair of shorts.

It really has nothing to do with the price, and I certainly don't mind paying to have nice things. Gym shorts are just not really on that list.

The main issue is that I don't like that moisture wicking material Under Armour uses for their stuff and prefer the old school mesh type gym shorts. I guess I'll just end up with some generic ones from Academy or Eastbay.

Just giving you a hard time. Hell, I know UA is expensive. The polos are high too.

I know the style shorts you're talking about. The mesh Russell were great. The writing would eventually peel off from washing, but they were durable, comfortable, didn't make my 5'9" frame look like a midget because they're made for basketball players, and inexpensive.

Not sure how big you are, but you might try the ladies section and go big.
