Seriously, I can handle 105 on the bases in my long grays (I have yet to wear long navies in a game in my life). It's the PU who really needs the relief, and wearing shorts back there in FP would obviously look stupid unless you're like some of my colleagues who won't wear shin guards or plate shoes. If he/she has to go with the longs, so will I.

Getting back to the OP, though, I'm really surprised that the rule book is mum on shorts for SP. I saw a colleague last night wearing them with the white anklet ASA-logoed socks and black shoes (and, yes, the powder blue shirt and navy hat). Why white socks, I have no idea.
