This season, players for the Orlando Pride, part of the National Women's Soccer League, will take the field in black shorts instead of white.

The reason, according to the team, is so that players feel "more comfortable and confident" when they are playing in a game while on their period.

The team says it is the first in the NWSL to make a change to its uniform after listening to players' concerns about being uncomfortable wearing white while menstruating and competing.

Came in here expecting a different reason. This actually makes sense IMO

To be fair, that'd be pretty gross for everyone observing.

In high school, i was just dozing off, and noticed a chick in white shorts go up to teachers desk, and a flow, stain starting.

So i went to female teacher, to tell what i had seen, so she could talk to girl w/o embarrassment of whole class knowing.

worked perfectly, no one but us 3 knew, so i understand this one. And msb should allow it

An actual common sense solution to an issue.

I have no problem w/this at all.

Yea I coach high school cross country and was told to stay away from white for this reason. Honestly was happy to go along with it as I don’t want to see that either.

This is actually a good idea. Also seems like something that would’ve been kept in house without the need to broadcast it to the world 20 or even 10 years ago.
