Where bright red shorts get worn

Red shorts are team gear: mesh basketball shorts and performance shorts matched to red jerseys. Bright red reads as energetic, bold and competitive. It's the color people notice first in a crowd, which is exactly why teams and events use it.

What counts as bright red

Bright Red
#B61C31

Bright red is the true red family: Red, True Red, Scarlet, Deep Red, Cherry and Sport Red. It's clearly brighter than cardinal and has none of the brown of maroon. The swatch shows our reference color, #B61C31: the median fabric color of every in-stock garment sold under a bright red name. A colorway is listed on this page only if its measured fabric color is close enough to read as the same color side by side.

Suppliers sell the shorts on this page as Red, Scarlet, True Red and Sport Red.
