I am not nor I have ever officiated football (unless you count H.S. soccer,
).
My question concerns hats. Both Mark, Jr., and I umpire H.S. baseball and softball and Junior also umpires college softball. One can get away with wearing an adjustable hat for H.S. baseball and softball (but you would never catch Junior and me wearing an adjustable hat, we only wear fitted hats) and one can only wear fitted hats for college softball.
My wife's alma mater is the Univ. of Toledo so we see quite a few MAC games every year and the MAC has a couple of female officials, which I think is great, but I have noticed that the female officials wear adjustable hats which are no doubt easier to wear with long hair.
What does the CCA Football Manual say about hats?
