Variant “jockey briefs”

Prior to Coopers Inc. changing it’s name to it’s flagship invention, the *Jockey* Y-Front brief, according to this site here: https://www.etymonline.com/word/jockey , aside from being known colloquially as jockey shorts or jockeys, the name “jockey briefs” existed to some extent, but I have not been able to find anything online to substantiate this effectively at all, for all I know anytime I encounter “jockey briefs” they mean “Jockey-brand briefs” and didn’t capitalize it BlackAdvisor (talk) 01:19, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
