Badger Graphite Men's Tricot Mesh 5" Shorts

The Badger Men's Tricot Mesh 5" Shorts in Graphite bring a modern, neutral tone to a proven athletic short. Graphite is a sophisticated alternative to black for programs looking to add variety to their uniform palette without departing from a dark, easy-to-coordinate base. The 100% polyester pro-mesh construction provides the breathability athletes depend on during training and competition, while the solid tricot liner delivers coverage and comfort across the full range of activity.

Graphite has become an increasingly popular choice in team athletic apparel, offering a softer visual contrast to jet black while still functioning as a strong pairing color for nearly any primary team palette. It works particularly well alongside Royal, Red, and White as a secondary or accent short in multi-color uniform builds.

The style in Graphite maintains the color through repeated washing, keeping its consistent medium-dark tone across a full season of use. The athletic cut of the style is designed to perform at competition speed. The trim fit reduces fabric excess at the hip and thigh, while still allowing full, unrestricted movement at the knee and leg.

A 5" inseam places the hem at a practical, competition-appropriate length for most athletes across sports. The covered elastic waistband and drawcord round out the fit with a customizable, secure feel that holds up through intense athletic activity. Badger's commitment to responsible production is reflected in the Fair Labor Association-accredited facility that manufactures the style line.

The Graphite style supports both Embroidery and ColorPrint decoration, with its medium-dark tone offering solid contrast for light-colored logos and team names. For programs seeking a versatile, modern neutral short, the Graphite style delivers strong performance and reliable quality.
