Maybe they added the stripes post-haste if he had a pair of pants he liked or didn't like whatever they had to offer/didn't want to break in a new pair? I don't know, I'm just trying to think of any conspiracy theory at this point.
I looked for a rabbit hole, couldn't find many photos but here's a couple that show the stripe bunched up, I'm sticking with my hem job theory but have no explanation for the CCM logo 🤣
Perhaps, although the CCM logo looks to be in the same spot it normally is. If the EQM shortened the pants 1-2” I’d think the logo would be noticeably closer to them hem
