The Essential Fix for the Locker Room
Managing a football team's uniforms means dealing with the inevitable wear and tear of a physical season. Traditional slotted football pants rely on a secure front fly lace to keep the pads locked in place. When these strings snap, fray, or magically disappear in the washing machine, players are left scrambling before practice. For equipment managers, having a bulk supply of replacement laces is a simple but highly critical necessity to keep the locker room running smoothly.
Bulk Solutions for High-Volume Needs
We stock institutional-grade pant laces designed for the high-volume demands of a football program:
- Heavy-Duty Braided Construction: Football pant laces undergo immense stress during play. Our replacement laces are constructed from tightly braided synthetic fibers designed to resist snapping under tension and fraying when threaded through the metal eyelets of game pants.
- Aglet Tipped: Every lace features hardened plastic tips (aglets) on the ends. This prevents the cord from unraveling and makes it incredibly easy for players to quickly re-lace their pants without the frustration of a frayed end.
- Bulk 144-Count Packs: We sell our replacement laces in a full gross (144 pieces per pack). This ensures your equipment shed is fully stocked for the entire season, saving you the hassle of constantly reordering single pieces.
- Team Colors Available: While standard white is a locker room staple, we offer laces in various athletic colors, allowing you to match your school's specific uniform scheme down to the finest detail.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are these laces meant for game pants or practice pants?
They are designed to be used for both! These replacement laces will fit any traditional style of football pant (game or practice) that features a lace-up front fly with standard eyelets.
2. How many laces come in a pack?
Our replacement football pant laces are sold in bulk packs of 144 laces (one gross). This high-volume pack is designed specifically to meet the needs of school athletic departments and equipment managers.
3. Do modern football pants still use laces?
It depends on the style. Many modern "integrated" football pants feature a sewn-in web belt and a Spandex fly, eliminating the need for laces. However, traditional slotted pants—which are still highly popular for varsity game day and heavy-duty practice wear—still rely on a lace-up front to secure the fit over the hip and tailbone pads.
4. How long are the replacement laces?
Standard football pant laces are typically cut to around 36 inches in length, providing plenty of string for players to thread through the eyelets and tie a secure double knot that won't come undone under their jersey.
5. How do I stop the laces from pulling out in the wash?
A classic equipment manager trick is to have players tie a small, tight knot at the very end of both strings before throwing their pants into the laundry bin. This prevents the lace from sliding out of the eyelets during the aggressive agitation of a commercial washing machine.
6. Do you accept school purchase orders for locker room supplies?
Absolutely. Morley Athletic has worked directly with schools and universities for over nine decades. We happily accept school purchase orders. Athletic directors and equipment managers can easily submit a formal PO to purchase bulk pant laces, replacement cleats, helmet hardware, and athletic tape for their entire football program.
