Knee socks? Orange? Go team!

I thought this post was going to be a big instruction on how to keep the ball in the air in very wet soils (Readers know that almost always the ball should be on the ground. Period.).

Then I got delayed and realized that I was observing the second coolest soccer socks ever (stripes are #1 but usually not allowed except in pro leagues). Socks that go above the knee? In cool weather, this actually has functional value and when you stroll on the field in these socks it tells the other team that "we are way deep into this soccer stuff since we know you haven't even heard of socks like this, so just don't even try today, it's pointless".
