/u/gzcl recommended these rugby shorts (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008MX9SEQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Z60nxbMY165X4) to me in the past. They're 5", stretchy, lightweight, and will add 15 lbs to your squat, guaranteed.
Lululemon also had 5" running shorts that I like to squat in. Very lightweight, airy, and non restrictive.
Your results may vary.
Jock strap, rugby shorts, and confidence for me.
I was very self-conscious the first time I wore my "real" rugby shorts (these, in black) to the gym, because they show a whole lot of leg and butt (EDIT: in addition to the bulge up front). I got over that on my first rep of squats, though, because my range of motion was so much better than I'd gotten with looser, soccer-style shorts, and I didn't have to spend five minutes before each set adjusting the fabric or waistband. The rugby shorts also remind me why I'm in the gym in the first place (adding bulk for the front row).
Minor caveat: I'm a single gay man, and my current gym's in the Castro.
Gilbert ball, mouthguard, rugby shorts with a flexible crotch (Prevents tearing) and a cheap rugby polo (anything thats durable). Tube socks, and cleats (cannot be baseball spikes, but cleats with a toe spike are now ok to use in games) If you are thrifty enough you can have your rugby gear that lasts years for about 80 dollars.
May I introduce you to rugby shorts?

It's got the feel of a martial arts gi
I just do soccer shorts, personally. A lot of people like rugby shorts.
These rugby shorts have a 4" inseam.
This is probably my favorite article of clothing hands down, the Guinness hockey jersey!

Maybe a headguard? I assume he already has one but could be a decent present Link
Personally enjoyed getting new gear when I played Rugby.
Outside of that you could always go for a simple present they'd still enjoy, like a giftcard. Some think it's boring but I'd have taken that over a lot of presents I've received in the past.
Also if it's a giftcard for a specific place they're more likely to spend it on something useful than if it was cash.

I'd highly recommend these rugby shorts. I've had several pairs of them over the past 2.5 years and they have been great. Very durable, have pockets, and are cheap (around $20 depending on your size). They are short though (which I like).
Can get them on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/KooGa-Mexico-Rugby-Jersey/dp/B079Q9DTCL
my personal faves. sturdy as hell and show off the quads. $20. I have two pairs and want more. the black ones are the ones, the other colors arent the sturdy material.

Ive had it for 3 seasons now and still in great condition. Quality scrum cap, comfortable, I can hear, plus it looks good. Nothing to complain about
rugby shorts are awesome too. I love these for DL.

Edit: I have these and they are great. They're 100% heavyweight cotton, and they do have pockets.
