Yeah that's pretty much the same as at my school; most guys just wear athletic shorts or their fight shorts for muay thai/kickboxing.
Back to the topic, I decided to go ahead and order the Triumph Bloodberg shorts.
Triumph United “The Bloodberg” Short
This probably seems somewhat retarded because the overwhelming response to my OP was that there were some highly regarded shorts out there not named Triumph. At the end of the day these ones just really captured my eye, and I didn't really hear any advice to detract from the Triumph line so I figured why not. Might as well offer my insight for other people who are curious to their performance.
Anyhow, people should keep posting in here offering their personal favourites, for anyone who may be looking for some new shorts. At least it will allow people to compare them to other leading shorts and find out which ones are the most suitable for their needs.
