Sorry, might be dumb to you, and I'm sure I asked here before but don't remember.
What's the deal with butt stripes, dude?

As far as we can tell, they were a piece of elastic that made the pants more form fitting. Prior to the butt stripe pants, the pants were made of canvas and were not as form fitting. Some teams apparently decided to use the elastic as a fashion statement. That's the best we can come up with.

You don't think it was... reinforcement stitching or something?
