Knickerbockers: Similar to capris, a form of baggy-kneed trousers customarily worn in the winter in the early 20th Century and are popularly in sports such as golf, fencing, and cycling. Baseball players wear a stylized form of knickerbockers, although the pants look less baggy in recent decades. The white trousers worn by NFL officials are also knickerbockers.They can also be known as the shortened term knickers, although not to be confused with the British term which refers to women's underwear.
The term "Knickerbocker" first kicked into gear in America around the early 1800's, with Washington Irving's "History of New York", which featured the fictional author Diedrich Knickerbocker, an old-fashioned Dutch New Yorker in Irving's satire local history.
With the publication of Irving's book, the term Knickerbocker defined anything relating to New York City, similar to how Yinzer describes Pittsburgh. Knickerbocker got its first use in the sports arena in 1840's, with the "New York Knickerbockers", an an amateur athletic baseball club organized on Manhattan's Lower East Side.
In the late 1940's, New York City was granted a charter franchise by the Basketball Association of America. The team was called the Knickerbockers, which later was shortened to the New York Knicks.
Knickerbockers were part of cycling attire for nearly a century. Many cyclists tucked them into their long socks. In the US, they were referred to as knickers, eventually being replaced by racing tights or quarter-length capris equivalents to be used for colder-weather cycling.
