Cut down the bacteria you wash off after soccer practice

GOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! What sport does this sound like? Soccer, of course! All you got to do is slip on your shin pads, pull your socks over, jam on your cleats and your ready to go. Now, this procedure may seem like nothing can go wrong with it but oh no, after the joys of soccer practice/ games has passed you have a big sweaty patch of sweat and goo on your shinguard. It is disgusting and you can really smell it! What is the solution? A ShinPadPoc! This new creation by flippysox would allow you to slip a shin guard into a pocket that is already sewed on your sock. The idea started maybe 2 weeks ago when I was pondering over sponsoring my soccer team with custom flippysox. I was not thinking about the pocket, just the design. My dad thought this was a great idea and added on to the idea by putting a custom pocket on the soccer sock. We thought the pocket might only provide space for money. ZOOM! Back to the future: A couple of days ago my dad came up with the idea of having a pocket in the sock so you could actually put a shinguard in it. We decided to build onto the idea and I have been testing the handmade soccer sock I made for this purpose. You may worry that the new way of putting your shinguard on would be less protective while playing, but as I have tested it out I find it is actually MORE protective! And even more comfortable too. The shinguard in the pocket hardly moves around and blocks hard kicks just as good as the regular. What do you think?
