The right socks are an important part of a baseball uniform, providing cushion and comfort to the foot while helping keep the cleats in place. Custom stirrup socks are available in a wide variety of colors and patterns to match any team's uniform color palette. The design of the cuff can also be customized to add the team logo and other details. Custom stirrup socks can be worn to provide a stylish alternative to traditional baseball jerseys and pants, or simply as a nod to the history of the game.
In 1905, stirrups were first introduced as a fashion accessory for baseball players. They were paired with sanitary socks, a white tube sock that is usually worn underneath athletic socks of another color. The sanitary sock was a practical choice in the days before it was suspected that dye used on colored socks could be toxic to players.
Although baseball stirrup socks have declined in popularity over the years, they are enjoying a recent resurgence among some teams, with players like Yankees reliever Conor Mullee and Rays center fielder Brandon Ryan sporting the look. Other players, however, prefer to stick with tradition and rely on the comfort of a high-quality pair of sports pants and shorts to keep their legs covered.
