The Latest Super Sleuth Contest

A one-size-fits-all athletic sock style was trendy in the 1970s and 1980s. These simple white socks reached mid-calf or higher, had two or three colored bands at the top and lacked a heel. Sports heroes of that time, like basketball stars Julius “Dr. J.” Irving and Wilt Chamberlain, wore these socks with shorts and popularized them with American youth. Today this sock style is still recognized for its comfort and is a common choice for school uniforms and sports teams. Hay Seed and City Slicker are not into socks but are curious to know more about this special style.
