Custom Men's 7-Inch Soccer Shorts for Teams

Last updated: May 19, 2026

Two inches longer than the 5-inch professional standard. The 7 inch mens soccer shorts cut is the legacy/traditional length our clubs order when they prefer more thigh coverage or play in leagues that spec the older inseam. Empire Five Athletics manufactures these in the same 140 GSM 100% polyester knit and the same men's-pattern cut as our 5-inch shorts. only the inseam length changes.

7-Inch Inseam, Legacy Men's Variant, A-Line Drape for Full Kick Range

The 7 inch mens soccer shorts cut is the legacy / traditional-length variant of our men's soccer shorts range. The 5-inch inseam is the modern professional standard (used in the Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga, and MLS), and the 7-inch is the older-school cut still ordered by Sunday leagues, traditional UK rec leagues, school programs, and clubs that simply prefer more thigh coverage. Same 140 GSM 100% polyester knit as our men's 5-inch shorts, same cut-and-sew pattern through the waist and hip, same A-line leg-opening drape, same decoration zones, same sublimation method, same NO-POCKETS FIFA cut. Same per-piece pricing as the 5-inch variant; co-ed orders combine across all four shorts cuts (men's 5-inch, men's 7-inch, women's 3-inch, women's 4-inch) into one volume tier. Pair with the crew-neck soccer jersey for the full match-day soccer kit.

Honest Spec Notes

No pockets: Same NO-POCKETS FIFA rule applies. all our outfield soccer shorts (men's 5-inch, men's 7-inch, women's 3-inch, women's 4-inch) ship without pockets. The rule extends from FIFA-rules competitions down through college, club, and amateur soccer worldwide.

Fit: Men's-pattern cut, identical to our 5-inch shorts except leg-tube length. The 7-inch inseam sits at the lower thigh on most adults vs the 5-inch sitting at mid-thigh. A-line drape at the leg opening for full kick range. NOT a fitted / compression cut.

Goalkeepers: Outfield 7-inch variant only. Goalkeepers traditionally wear LONGER and OFTEN PADDED shorts in a different colorway from the outfield kit. A separate goalkeeper-shorts product is available; ask in your quote to clarify GK vs outfield.

Decoration Options for Your Soccer Shorts

Sublimation handles full-shorts decoration cleanly across the polyester knit. Embroidery and tackle twill are restricted to the flat hip panel only — the waistband and leg-opening hem are stretch zones.

Custom sublimation printing applied to a polyester sports jersey, showing full-color graphics integrated into the fabric

Sublimation

Endless design possibilities at no extra cost. Full-color digital designs become part of the polyester fabric — graphics never crack, peel, or fade through 90-minute matches and sliding-tackle contact. Color-match your soccer jersey exactly for a coordinated kit.

Best for:Color-matching the soccer jersey, full-bleed designs, sublimated player numbers, side-stripe accents
Tackle twill numbers and embroidered logo applied to a custom team jersey, showing dimensional sewn-on lettering

Tackle Twill & Embroidery — flat hip only

Dimensional decoration restricted to the flat hip panel. The waistband and leg-opening hem are stretch zones — embroidery and tackle-twill stitches there pop as the fabric flexes during play. We can embroider a small front-hip crest with no issues.

Best for:Front-hip crest patches, premium varsity-style mark on the flat hip, dimensional finish without compromising stretch
Screen-printed team logo on a custom jersey, showing flat vibrant solid-color ink applied to the fabric

Screen Printing

Vibrant flat-color decoration on the smooth polyester body. Pricing varies by ink count; itemized in your quote. Holds cleanly across season-long match wear because soccer shorts don't have the extreme stretch of compression base layers.

Best for:Single-color sponsor wordmarks across the hip or thigh panel, simple flat-color branding, cost-effective decoration

Logo & Number Placement Options

  • Front-left hip: team crest or club logo (matches the front-left chest crest on the jersey)
  • Front-right hip: optional player number (standard soccer-shorts placement)
  • Outer thigh: optional sublimated side-stripe in the team accent color
  • Back hip: optional sponsor wordmark or roster initial

Men's 7-Inch Soccer Shorts FAQ

The questions clubs and coaches ask before placing a 7-inch order. answered specifically for the legacy / traditional variant and the co-ed pricing combine across all four soccer-shorts cuts.

What's the difference between the 5-inch and 7-inch men's soccer shorts?
Inseam length, nothing else. The 5-inch shorts are the modern men's professional standard. The length used by outfield players in the Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga, and MLS. The 7-inch shorts are the legacy / traditional variant for clubs preferring more thigh coverage or playing in leagues with older uniform conventions. Fabric (140 GSM 100% polyester knit), men's-pattern cut through waist/hip, decoration zones, sublimation method, NO-POCKETS rule, and per-piece pricing are all identical across both inseam variants.
Why would a club choose the 7-inch over the 5-inch?
Three reasons most commonly. League uniform regulations that specify a longer cut (some Sunday leagues, traditional UK rec circuits, school programs). Coverage preference. some players or programs prefer the older-school silhouette. Conservative uniform spec at the school or club level. We ship both inseam variants from the same per-piece pricing tier so the choice is purely about coverage preference and uniform-spec match.
Is this the goalkeeper short?
No. This is the outfield 7-inch variant. Goalkeepers traditionally wear LONGER (often 9-10 inch) and OFTEN PADDED shorts in a different colorway from the outfield kit. We ship a separate goalkeeper-shorts product for that role. Clarify GK vs outfield in your quote so we run the correct cut.
Which inseam do most clubs order?
The 5-inch inseam is the volume-majority order across our men's-soccer clients because it matches the modern professional standard. The 7-inch ships steadily to clubs in traditional leagues, school programs, and Sunday-league circuits where the older-school cut is the spec. Confirm your league's uniform regulation before ordering 7-inch if your team plays in a regulated league.
Do the shorts have pockets?
No. Same NO-POCKETS FIFA rule applies across all our outfield soccer shorts. men's 5-inch, men's 7-inch, women's 3-inch, and women's 4-inch all share the pocketless cut. Pockets add bulk and weight that interferes with sprinting, sliding tackles, and kicking. For training shorts with pockets, see practice / training shorts in adjacent ranges.
Can we order a co-ed kit across men's and women's variants?
Yes. All four shorts variants ship at identical 6-tier per-piece pricing. men's 5-inch, men's 7-inch, women's 3-inch, and women's 4-inch. A combined co-ed order rolls into a single volume tier (total piece-count across cuts determines the tier). We sublimate all four cuts in the same production batch using one color spec.
Will the shorts color-match the soccer jersey exactly?
Yes. We sublimate the shorts in the same colorway as the crew-neck soccer jersey (or v-neck / polo / long-sleeve variants) using identical color values. If you order both together (jersey + shorts), we run them in the same production batch using one color spec. Same primary color, same accent stripes, same sponsor placement options.
What is the minimum order?
There is no minimum. Order from a single piece up. Tier-1 pricing covers 1-20 pieces at the same per-piece rate, with five additional volume brackets giving deeper discounts up to 1,000 pieces. Identical per-piece pricing tier as the men's 5-inch shorts and the women's variants. Co-ed orders combine for tier-volume discounts.
What is the production and delivery timeline?
Production runs about two weeks from artwork approval. Tracked door-to-door shipping to 50+ countries adds 4-7 business days, putting your custom men's 7-inch soccer shorts in your team's hands inside three weeks of sign-off. Rush production available on request.
