I am more inclined to believe that someone is getting a monetary kickback by mandating the specific use of only TC socks. Follow the money!!!
In 25 years I have not seen a football sock where the black starts that high. Every football sock I have ever purchased (post stirrup era excluded) the ankle socks were high enough.
If the black of the your TC socks starts that high the stripes would end above your knee. Maybe you got a pair made for someone with a size 22 shoe or someone sold you a "blemished" pair (with or without telling you). Maybe you are only 3'10" tall.

I'm 6'4". I have no problem buying the tube sock-type football socks. The black starts between 6" and 7" from the top of my shoe. The F924 at PlusPOS is a perfect example of the type of sock I'm speaking of. In fact, if you look at the socks the boxman is worrying in ref18's post, you'll see the type of sock I speak of.
Socks that are 2" or 3" inches from the top of the shoe look plain stupid.
