Pleats in pants?

[WestMichBlue]

Honigs is pushing pleated pants; the majority of their inventory has gone pleated. OfficialGear only provides pants without pleats.

So what is in? Pleats? Or not?

I have become very fond of the pleated pants. I wear them in softball and basketball, but I don't think football knickers would look good with pleats. They are approved in ASA and NFHS so I like them and use them.

Ed,

No pleats around here. I've never seen anything from ASA with regards to wearing pleated pants. For that matter, my last national (2005 Hooters), the letter specifically noted "flat-panel" navy double-knit polyester slacks.

I have never been told anything about pleats at any national tournament I have done so I guess you wear what the UIC calls for. I sure wouldn't wear them if they told us not to.

Pleats or no pleats, it makes little difference to me.

Now, if someone would just come up with a base/plate combo pant in navy blue, you'd get my attention!

NCAA is extremely preferential to flat front (no pleats) and (I believe) does not allow them in championship play.
