Hunting for jocks at stores…

[MITank]

I’m heading out to the stores for jocks today. I’ll take pics of the store’s inventory. I’m hoping to find more than just shock dr. . I’m near Detroit MI. Let me know of any possible stores I should hit up!

The only other brand I'm aware of that currently distributes to retail stores is McDavid. I guess maybe Nike too. No other athletic supporter companies are in business, sad to say.

Not happy about this either

I'M curious where the jocks I see in SoftPorn pix have come from. many DOZENS of «brands» and hundreds, perhaps thousands of «models». Shock Doctor, UnderArmour, and one or two others have managed to SATURATE the retail market in USA and Canada by getting «exclusives» with the sports CHAINS and the once plentiful Independents are frozen out by Minimum Order policies and the incestuous relationship between LOGO giants and BigBox retailers. When JOCKS and CUPS were sold by Independents their owners /managers were savvy buyers because they were as often as not professional or semi-professional athletes and KNEW what a good JOCK/CUP should be. Now those buying decisions are made by Bean Counters, many of them FEMALE, so the criteria have shifted to include ONLY price and advertising reach. SAD!!!!!

Years ago we had local sporting goods store that set BIKE display each year at beginning of school.

Wearing a cup all day is not my idea of fun. Hope you can find a regular jock.

Sadly, retail is “going out of business” to a new online economy.
