Georgetown lacrosse to officially retire cargo shorts

Don't hate. It was important enough for a writer for The Wall Street Journal. to notice. Retweeted by Kelsey Gee: @kelseykgee

I'm keeping mine. What's the problem?

"Cargo shorts are the Nickelback of men's clothing."

Georgetown lacrosse to officially retire cargo shorts (and we have some alternatives)

Cargo shorts are the Nickelback of men's clothing. Nobody likes them, and those that do are generally people to stay away from. Apparently, the Georgetown lacrosse team agrees. The Hoyas will host a "Cargo Shorts Retirement Party" on April 29 before its game against St. John's. And cake will be provided!

It's time to let them go.

You are cordially invited to: Cargo Shorts Retirement Party at @HoyasMLacrosse.

Cake will be provided. 🎉🎂

I love cargo shorts, the ones in that pic are ugly, though. There are way cuter ones. JudyM Apr 2017 #3

It's a great place to watch lacrosse. It's wedged into a bowl, so you're up close and personal with the players. Kids can bring their sticks to the game, and after the game, they run onto the field and play catch. I'll be tied up with other stuff on Saturday, so I won't be there.

See if this works:
