How many pairs of MMA shorts are enough?

How many pairs of MMA Board shorts do you guys like to have or do have? Do you buy them because you need all of them to train with or do some of you also just love to ALSO kind of collect them because of the different brands, colors, and styles? And which brands do you guys buy the most like Tapout, Sprawl, No Gi, et...

oh god.....

I probably have upwards of 15-20 SPRAWL's over the past 3-4 years, a pair of HCK, 5 tapouts (though one is my dads now) 3 clinch gears, 2 truth fight shorts, various other brands nobody would of heard about lol.

I probably use about 4 different shorts in rotation between louging around, weight lifting shorts, running, muay thai, and grappling.

Usually a diff pair each day, diff brand. mostly my tapouts for lounging around in because they have the most leg room.

3-4 would be sufficient... I have close to 40 shorts now, but I definitely don't need (or want) all of them.

40, holy shit Amp. You still plan on selling any off, or are you still doing reviews etc?

Personally, I have 1 Cagewalk, 1 sprawl (and the blue ones on the way) and some Fightfx which are pretty decent (but a bit small) between these and my old b-ball and Fila Shorts, I'm pretty much set for 6 days a week.

I do prefer my Sprawls over all else though, for sure. That said, I'm looking at some of those RDFC Dragon or Anaconda's for my next purchase.

They all get sold after I review them... although, some are sold that are still listed on the page. I have three more reviews to post, two of which have already been written. Ooof...

I have enough shorts....................realized I went overboard when I first got started and now have grown out of the whole "Buy all the cool sh1t, and you'll be cool" kinda thing. (Yes I was a noob)

To be honest, I wear my nogi echos the most.
