Quick answer
Choose the Score Sheer Sports Brief if you want a bold, sheer look with a quick-dry 4-way stretch fabric and hip cut-outs. Choose the Icon Sports Brief New Fit if you prefer a soft modal feel, a low-rise cut, and a metallic waistband for everyday confidence.
Cut and coverage: how much skin each brief shows
The Score Sheer Sports Brief features a bold hip cut-out and a sheer insert that runs along the top of the pouch and over the back, creating a double peek-a-boo effect. That design prioritizes visual impact and airflow over full coverage. The Icon Sports Brief has cut-out sides but a more conventional low-rise front, so it reveals less skin while still feeling athletic. If you want maximum reveal, the Score Sheer is the clearer choice; if you want a sporty brief you can wear under most clothes without a second thought, the Icon is easier.
Fabric feel: quick-dry stretch vs soft modal
The Score Sheer uses a quick-dry 4-way stretch fabric, which suits sweaty activities and warm days because it moves with you and dries faster. The Icon Sports Brief is made from 95% rayon and 5% spandex, a modal-type blend that feels ultra-soft to the touch and stretches for comfort. Neither fabric is inherently better; the trade-off is performance versus a plush, everyday hand-feel. If you prioritize moisture management, lean toward the Score Sheer. If you prioritize a smooth, soft sensation against the skin, lean toward the Icon.
Waistband and rise: low-rise metallic vs streamlined
The Icon Sports Brief has a matching coloured 4cm wide metallic waistband with a single logo on the front and a low-rise fit. That waistband is a visible style detail and the low rise sits below the natural waist. The Score Sheer Sports Brief does not list a waistband width or rise in the supplied facts, so treat its fit as a streamlined sports brief cut without those specific details. If you want a defined, low-slung waistband, the Icon gives you that; if you prefer to avoid a wide metallic band, the Score Sheer is the safer pick.
Sizing approach for Blush and Azure
Both briefs are available in sized options, and neither product page supplies a size chart in the facts provided. That means you should rely on the store’s general size guide and your usual sports brief size rather than guessing from the colour name. The Blush and Azure colourways do not change the fit; they are simply different colour options of the same respective cuts. If you are between sizes, consider whether you prefer a closer, more revealing fit (which may favor sizing down if the guide allows) or a more relaxed fit (which may favor sizing up), but confirm against the size chart before ordering.
Key trade-offs
- Reveal vs coverage: The Score Sheer Sports Brief offers a double peek-a-boo effect with hip cut-outs and sheer panels. The Icon Sports Brief has cut-out sides but a more conventional low-rise front. Choose the Score Sheer for maximum reveal; choose the Icon for a sporty brief with less skin on show. If you plan to wear the brief under slim trousers or in conservative settings, the Icon is the lower-risk choice.
- Quick-dry performance vs soft hand-feel: The Score Sheer uses quick-dry 4-way stretch fabric. The Icon uses a soft rayon/spandex blend. Pick the Score Sheer for workouts and hot weather; pick the Icon for all-day softness. Match the fabric to your primary use: gym and travel favor quick-dry, lounging and daily wear favor modal softness.
- Waistband statement vs streamlined finish: The Icon Sports Brief has a 4cm metallic waistband with a front logo and a low rise. The Score Sheer does not list a waistband width or rise in the supplied facts. If a visible waistband is part of your look, the Icon delivers it; if you want to avoid a wide band, the Score Sheer is simpler. Consider whether you want the waistband to be seen above your waistband line; if not, the Score Sheer avoids that detail.
