Review on 🩳 Umbro Checkerboard Shorts: Large Black - Performance and Style in One! by Billy Branch

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Classic style (better/worse)

These definitely match the classic style of football shorts from the 80's and 90's. Nylon fabric is heavy and not as breathable. Please note that they do not include elastic in the fabric (except for the waistband). I went to Target and tried on their (nearly) identical plaid shorts, but unlike the store, these shorts were very stiff with little stretch. The cut was also quite odd: tight in the quads and very loose in the crotch and seat. Some brands have me in between sizes, but this was one of the weirdest gym shorts I've ever tried. They have pockets which was a plus. I really wanted to like them but ended up sending them back.

Pros
  • 100% nylon
Cons
  • Some small details
