Badger Men's Black Pro Mesh 9" Shorts

The Badger Men's Royal Pro Mesh 9" Shorts in Black are a foundational athletic short that suits every team, every sport, and every occasion. Black is the most universal color in athletic apparel, and these shorts carry that versatility without compromising on performance construction.

The 3 oz/yd². 100% polyester mesh outer fabric keeps the shorts light and breathable, while the 100% polyester tricot liner delivers a smooth, interior that stays put through the most demanding training sessions and competitions.

Black shorts pair naturally with every jersey color and work equally well as a home uniform piece, a practice short, and a warm-up layer. They also maintain a clean, professional appearance throughout the season, hiding surface dirt and wear better than lighter alternatives. The 9-inch inseam provides reliable coverage without limiting movement, making these a consistent choice across sports from football and basketball to soccer, lacrosse, and track.

The athletic cut follows the natural shape of the body, supporting full range of motion without bunching or dragging. A covered elastic waistband keeps the shorts at the waist across all body types, while an internal drawcord lets athletes tighten or loosen the fit as needed before and during activity.

This practical combination of features makes the Black style a dependable uniform choice that athletes are wearing day in and day out. These shorts are manufactured in a Fair Labor Association accredited facility, meeting the Sustainable Style Socially Conscious Manufacturing standard. This designation supports buyers who maintain ethical sourcing criteria as part of their purchasing process.
