In my association, we all wear the same type jacket -- black with the association logo embroidered on the left chest area. The only difference with the jackets is that some have zippers and others have snaps. This happened because the original maker went out of business and newer officials (or those looking for replacements) had to get the ones with snaps.

As far as pants/shoes are concerned, probably 95% of the officials wear the beltless pleated pants -- I really like them. We used to have a policy that all crewmembers, at the varsity level, had to wear the same type shoe (i.e., all black or some white). For the past couple of years, we have gotten away from this. Had a VG game on Tuesday and 2 officials had all black shoes and I had nikes with small white swoosh. Blew out the heel portion of my all black converse the night before and did not have time to purchase new shoes.
