5-Inch Inseam, A-Line Drape, Built for Full Kick Range

The custom men's soccer shorts at the 5-inch inseam are the modern men's soccer game-day standard. The inseam length used by professional outfield players in the Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga, MLS, and across academy and amateur soccer worldwide. Empire Five Athletics manufactures these shorts in 140 GSM 100% polyester knit. Lightweight enough to stay out of the way through 90 minutes of continuous-run play, structured enough to hold shape across season-long match-and-wash cycles. The cut drapes with an A-line silhouette at the leg opening for full kick range; the elastic waistband with internal drawcord adjusts for individual fit. Pair with the crew-neck soccer jersey or v-neck cut in the same colorway, and add knee-high socks to round out the full match-day kit.

Honest Spec Notes

No pockets: These are game-day soccer shorts cut clean for performance. NO pockets. Outfield players in FIFA-rules competitions are not permitted to wear pocketed shorts during match play; the rule extends to most school, college, club, and amateur soccer competitions worldwide.

Fit: A-line drape at the leg opening for full kick range. The cut is intentionally NOT a compression / fitted athletic short. Sized to allow unrestricted sprinting, sliding, and kicking. If a player prefers a more fitted feel, see the basketball-style 4-way stretch shorts in the basketball range. But for soccer game play, the A-line drape is the standard.

Goalkeepers: Outfield-player shorts only. Goalkeepers traditionally wear LONGER shorts in a different colorway from the outfield kit (separate goalkeeper-shorts product available; ask in your quote).

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 Soccer Shorts FAQ

The questions teams and coaches ask before placing their first soccer-shorts order — answered specifically for the 5-inch inseam men's match cut.

Do the shorts have pockets?
No. These are game-day soccer shorts cut clean for performance. Outfield players in FIFA-rules competitions are not permitted to wear pocketed shorts during match play, and the rule extends to most school, college, club, and amateur soccer competitions worldwide. 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.
Why a 5-inch inseam? Do you offer 7-inch or longer?
The 5-inch inseam is the modern men's professional-soccer standard. The length used by outfield players in the Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga, MLS, and across academy and amateur soccer worldwide. We can produce a 7-inch inseam version on request (mention it in your quote); the 5-inch is our default for men's soccer because it's what 90% of programs order. Goalkeepers traditionally wear longer shorts (separate goalkeeper-shorts product available).
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.
How is the cut different from basketball shorts or compression shorts?
Different fabric, different cut, different purpose. Soccer shorts are 140 GSM 100% polyester knit with an A-line drape at the leg opening. Built for kicking, sprinting, and sliding-tackle range of motion. Basketball shorts are 160 GSM 4-way stretch poly-spandex with a structured cut at a 7-inch inseam (basketball is more start-stop). Compression shorts are 200 GSM 4-way stretch poly-spandex with a snug silicone-leg-gripper fit (worn UNDER the game shorts as a base layer). Pick by sport and use case.
What sizing convention does the chart use? I'm ordering from the UK / EU.
The chart uses US sizing labels (XS–4XL) with measurements in inches. UK / EU sizing typically runs about one size smaller in jersey-and-shorts cuts (UK Medium ≈ US Small). Add your preferred size convention in the quote and we will translate to the matching pattern. Custom measurements available at no surcharge for individual roster members.
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. Same per-piece pricing tier as the women's soccer shorts. 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 soccer shorts in your team's hands inside three weeks of sign-off. Rush production available on request.
