Panties are compression pants that tightly fit the body and are worn, according to the player’s desire, under shorts to prevent stretching and premature fatigue of the calf muscles (in Russian sports, shorts are traditionally called cowards [1] ).
In football, according to paragraph 4 of the rules , the color of underwear should not differ from the color of underpants.
The underpants are made of high quality spandex with the addition of a large percentage of lycra . As a rule, the length of the shorts does not exceed the length of the uniform shorts; less commonly, this inch length does not reach the knee of the player.
Unlike bicycle pants , panties are often devoid of diapers, and their tissue is much thinner.
Panties are used in football and other outdoor sports, as well as in hiking.
