Always paint the shoes and the pants first. That way you have a target field for the socks.
Then paint the solid sock color in the same area as if you were doing skin tone for that on like a college player, where most uniforms don't feature a solid colored sock. Leave enough space to include any stripes later.
If a team has a dual-stripe pattern for example, I'll just start with the outside color on a really wide stripe, then do each color inside of that as needed. Trying to go around and around with stripes for each color in a pattern to get them next to each other will drive you crazy.
