Anyone know what to call these shorts Joe Louis is always wearing while training? They don't seem like just normal white shorts to me, I was wondering if there was a specific name for the type of shorts these are. This content is protected This content is protected
he did wear those allot...i think some others did as well..as near as i can find they are just form fitted cotton shorts? kind of like a "wife beater" tank top? but not sure..im sure some of the older guys can give you more insight. if my old man was still alive id ask him....burt might be able to help
Yeah lots of old boxers wore them, they were made by boxing companies as well, Joe wore ones made by Benlees and later ones from Everlast, they must have a name to them I just wonder if anyone knows. This content is protected Here you can see the Everlast logo.
Those are cotton krunkaloons. Little known fact; they were outlawed in Georgia in 1911 for all black fighters. No one knows why.
