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

The world owes Georgetown lacrosse a big thank you for their anti-cargo short stance.

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. 🎉🎂 pic.twitter.com/xVPmGLg7mc

The statement reads:

"The time has come. After playing the shorts game for over 80 years, it is time to step aside for the next fad. I have been with you through thick and thin. I have held your keys, wallets, gum, lip balm, countless amounts of loose change and much much more, but it is time to say goodbye.”
