FFS Here is some sort of explanation (not) [Link] These guys are supposed to be setting an example, can you imagine all the kids who have been admonished for following suite? Note it is mainly the rich clubs footballers that tend to do this, suppose they can afford it. My question is, if the guy in the video is right surely the kit manufacturers can do a better job.

Apparently, it's because they are too tight around the calves, so the players cut them. You want to see some of our U21's & U18's matches, plenty of cut socks.

Back in my playing days we needed to do that with some of the s*** kits we had, the tops were too tight and didn’t half chafe the old nipples, imagine us all running out with two holes cut out of the tops and our nipples showing…….i can imagine what some of the other teams in the Orpington and Bromley league would’ve thought hay ho

I remember that some of the replica kits in the seventies had very tight necks. Thanks.

The fad that really annoys me is the "pull my shorts up as high as I can during any dead ball situation" thing. Main offenders:

One can only speculate as to whether in this modern era, calves have become more 'Generous' coupled with the fact that football socks have become more skimpier or perhaps it is merely a case of calves being far more developed than they used to be back in the day.
