From the football fields of Dulwich Hamlet FC in 1936 to the boxing ring with Sugar Ray Robinson, they have always been a symbol of athleticism and determination. Whether it's the boys watching a brass band or Liverpool FC's iconic team from 1932-1933, these they have witnessed countless moments of sporting glory. Even women broke barriers, as seen in the Bystander cover from 1929 featuring a boxing woman in training. Arthur Ashe, the legendary American tennis player, showcased his skills at Wimbledon in 1975 while donning his trusty shorts. And let's not forget about girls playing bowls in the 1940s or rocking fashionable playsuits during the vibrant era of the 1930s. From Dunfermline Athletic FC to Barnet FC and Millwall Athletic football teams captured together for eternity in group photos - these shorts unite athletes across time and space. Edinburgh Hibernian FC proudly wore their shorts during their successful season around 1922-1923. Through victories and defeats, these humble garments remain an enduring symbol of sportsmanship and camaraderie.
