Today we are going to talk to you about boxing shorts and their history because yes, believe it or not, it is linked to the story of our yubi shorts!
We all have in mind those ultra-colorful and unique boxing shorts, but believe it or not, these colors are not a coincidence.
In Thailand, the color of your shorts reflects your fighter identity while embodying centuries of culture; each shade is linked to a specific god and day of the week.
For example, pink-colored shorts are worn on Tuesdays and embody Mangala, an evil god, making you an aggressive fighter.
Whereas those red in color, worn on Sunday, reflect your benevolence since they represent Surya, the sun god. Your shorts are therefore a cultural and spiritual symbol.
Thai boxing, Muay Thai, is a martial art that is centuries old.
Originally, fighters simply wore a piece of fabric tied around the waist, which was functional and adapted to the heat and humidity of the Thai climate.
Gradually, over generations and the evolution of the sport, this rudimentary garment transformed into colorful, ornate shorts charged with meaning.
Muay Thai has therefore gone from a technique of combat and survival used on the battlefield to a respected, celebrated, and globally practiced sport.
But beyond the colors, the patterns embroidered on the shorts also tell a story.
They feature depictions of sacred temples, mythological creatures like the Garuda, the divine eagle mount of the god Vishnu, a symbol of strength and protection, or the Naga, the sacred serpent guardian of waters and temples, a symbol of divine protection for the fighter.
Buddhist scriptures, called Sak Yant, sometimes complete these ornaments, bringing a protective and sacred dimension to the garment.
Like them, JADICE shorts have a symbolic meaning.
Adorned with an embroidered alstroemeria, the brand's iconic flower, it refers to intergenerational bonds. Handcrafted in France, they combine history and heritage but also comfort, boldness, and lightness. A perfect alliance between beauty of movement and practicality.
If you are in a benevolent mood, don't hesitate to pre-order your yubi shorts in red!
