We used the black pants here in Tx
I had our crew last year use them and they are used here in Houston for varsity.
I have both weights.
The lightier summer version is not at all bad in the 100 + degree gametime Sat afternoon games in late Aug and Sept. Even the humid Friday nights.
Seems the looser fitting allows air flow...
Prefer them over knickers and those "supp hose" "calf cutting" socks.
Our requirement is black socks with the pants.
We are going to a black bean bag this year.
Wonder how that will work on all the field turf games we do...
