Badger Men's Graphite Pro Mesh 9" Shorts

The Badger Men's Royal Pro Mesh 9" Shorts in Graphite provide a neutral, modern alternative to standard black or grey athletic shorts. The Graphite tone sits between dark grey and charcoal, giving teams a sophisticated color option that coordinates with a wide range of primary jersey colors.

The shorts are constructed from 3 oz/yd². 100% polyester mesh, which keeps the garment light and airy during intense activity, while a 100% polyester tricot liner provides a smooth, skin-friendly interior throughout extended wear.

Graphite is a smart choice for programs that want a neutral short that does not read as plain black but still pairs naturally with nearly any team color. It works equally well with red, royal blue, navy, forest green, and gold, giving uniform coordinators flexibility in building out a full uniform package. The 9-inch inseam keeps the silhouette clean and practical, providing adequate coverage without restricting movement.

The athletic cut is shaped to follow natural body movement, supporting the lateral cuts, forward drives, and explosive jumps that competitive athletes perform in practice and games. A covered elastic waistband lies flat against the waist, preventing discomfort or visible bunching, while an internal drawcord lets each athlete fine-tune the fit before activity.

These functional details come together to create a short that stays secure,, and out of the way during competition. Produced in a Fair Labor Association accredited facility, these shorts carry the Sustainable Style Socially Conscious Manufacturing designation, making them a suitable choice for buyers with ethical sourcing requirements in their procurement process.
