Abstract: An athletic garment comprising an envelope pocket positioned along an upper portion of the garment and configured to secure objects is disclosed. The envelope pocket may be comprised of a compression material that may secure stored objects in place. In one embodiment, an envelope pocket may be opened from the bottom and disposed along the rear, upper portion of the garment. The pocket opening may be positioned such that an athlete may reach around his or her back and quickly and ergonomically insert and retrieve balls from the pocket. The envelope pocket may be constructed such that the stored objects and balls do not impede an athlete's movement during athletic activity.
