Question

Towards the end of the 1st quarter of a game I was refereeing (10 and under), I realized I had called 4 fouls, three of them against the team with very bland uniform tops and mismatched shorts. The other team had nice matching uniforms (tops and shorts). I wondered if I was un-intentionally slanted towards the better looking uniforms. It was a close game with the good uniforms pulling away in the 4th quarter.
After the game, I mentally reviewed the game as best as I could and could'nt see that I was slanted.

Anyone else have a similiar experience?
